Lukas Ebneter – Somatic Experiencing Practitioner & Mindfulness meditation teacher
Life never ceases to fill me with wonder, gratitude, and humility. I have always been fascinated by the complexity of the human body. Personal setbacks and challenges led me to deeply explore transience and the changes in body and mind— and thus to find access to wisdom teachings and meditation.
In silence, I discovered true luxury. It is much more than the absence of noise: silence carries insights that can only be revealed through mindful and loving listening.

My approach

I am convinced that the power of loving presence and connection can change the world.
"Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards." - Søren Kierkegaard (1813 – 1855)
