Instructors
Breda Smej
Breda Smej is creatief therapeut en Mindfulness trainer (opgeleid bij Centrum voor Mindfulness in Amsterdam) en heeft lange ervaring in het geven van cursussen op het gebied van stresshantering en ontspanning. Mindfulness is al een hele tijd een onderdeel van haar leven als een manier om rust te vinden en ook in bredere zin, als levenshouding. Het is een manier om in contact te zijn met de ervaring in het huidig moment. Mindfulness helpt haar om haarzelf en de ander te begrijpen; om openheid, mildheid en acceptatie te ontwikkelen. Het heeft haar veel goeds gebracht en dat geeft ze graag door.
