The course helped me a lot to get my stress under control. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Manfred has been doing these courses for a long time and is therefore very experienced.

Highly recommended course in which the course instructor Manfred comprehensively conveys the many facets of mindfulness, presents numerous forms of meditation and generally creates a pleasant atmosphere. I particularly liked the fact that he repeatedly emphasized the components: "beginner's spirit" and "kindness towards oneself". So you take it more relaxed when you sometimes fail as a "mindfulness beginner" ;-) I'll stay tuned! Thank you Manfred

I attended the MBSR beginners course. After a burnout as a full-time working mother of two children, this should - on the advice of my family doctor - contribute to my recovery. I went there with the expectation that I would learn to recognize myself and my needs and to go through life more mindfully. The course with Manfred Schmitz far exceeded my expectations. I've gained a whole new attitude. Here knowledge is imparted, which leads to insights - just as each person needs it. This MBSR course is the best thing I have ever done for myself. In my opinion, everyone should be able to experience and design such a course unit. My experiences were supported by wonderful participants, in whose circle I knew I was in good hands. Thank you for this experience.

I can only recommend this wonderful course. It is a great gift to approach life more mindfully. Manfred created a very pleasant, calm and relaxed course atmosphere that I looked forward to every week. Thanks!

Dear Manfred, thank you for this wonderful experience! Manfred has the talent to meet people where they are, regardless of their existing/non-existing experience in mindfulness practices. In my opinion, everyone should come into contact with this valuable knowledge in order to get through everyday life with significantly less stress. Absolute recommendation for people of all ages.

Clear recommendation for stressed, depressed or just for those who want to be mindful! Very good course in which everything to do with mindfulness training MBSR is taught by Manfred Schmitz in theory, but above all practical training. I'm already looking forward to the follow-up course...until then, stay alert :-) Greetings, Holger

The MBSR beginners' course with Manfred Schmitz was very helpful for getting started with meditation and mindfulness. Manfred conveyed to the group and each participant that they were meant. It wasn't teacher-like behavior, but rather the constant encouragement to keep going. MBSR has nothing to do with ACHIEVE. A wonderful weekly time-out. Queer people are welcome.

The course helped me a lot to set my priorities in life and to learn how to deal with stress myself. I feel less stressed after the MBSR course, more present in the here and now and happier. Manfred has a calm, soothing nature. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

The MBSR course with Manfred Schmitz was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere in the course was very harmonious from start to finish and the knowledge imparted was very substantial and always playfully light and never too serious. I recommend it to anyone!

Manfred Schmitz is a very dedicated, empathetic MBSR trainer. In the 8-week course we had the opportunity to get to know the individual exercises, to exchange ideas and to develop ideas to integrate them into our everyday lives. The detailed course manual, which was very attractively designed by Mr. Schmitz, can also be used after the course to read up on and refresh yourself. Instructions for all exercises are available for download. I benefited greatly from this course and would recommend it to anyone interested in MBSR.

Highly recommend this MBSR course! Manfred conveys mindfulness in a very professional and at the same time very warm, relaxed way, always mixed with a portion of humor. Many different techniques are taught and practiced and everything can be read again in a brochure and there are also instructions for practicing online.

Manfred Schmitz manages to pass on mindfulness digitally, full of energy, enthusiasm and with a lot of love for the topic. The 8-week course has enriched my life and I can highly recommend Mr. Schmitz - I felt I was in good hands and supported in every respect. This will certainly not be his last course.
