Amicale

Dear members,

The Amicale wishes to propose a new meditation activity, for all who are interested. The activity would take place on Thursdays, from 13h to 13h30, tentatively in the Palais building. The activity would be conducted by Katalin Lerch, a colleague working at the European Youth Foundation, currently based at the European Youth Center in Strasbourg.

Katalin started meditating in 2009 and since 2017 she has been leading meditation courses for beginners and advanced meditators.

Between 2019-2023 she was leading weekly meditation sessions for the staff of the European Youth Centre Budapest as part of the staff wellbeing.

Since 2024 she has also started leading meditation sessions for the EYF staff here in Strasbourg. The meditation sessions are free of charge.

She practices Sahaja yoga meditation. Meditation is a state of mind where the thinking process stops, and we enter into thoughtless awareness.

While practicing, we use our own inner energy to reach the state of meditation. Then the parasympathetic nervous system is activated in us, which calms us down, lowers the blood pressure and pulse.

This is a very effective way of dealing with stress, tension, and exhaustion.

The upcoming dates for the meditation would be the following:

20-March; 27-Mar; 03-Apr; 10-Apr; 17-Apr; 15-May; 22-May; 05-Jun; 12-Jun; 19-Jun; 26-Jun.

In order to launch the activity, we would like to gather the names of the interested colleagues who wish to follow this. 

Please manifest your interest by completing the following survey by 7 March, so that we can arrange for a suitable location based on the interested colleagues. Colleagues will be contacted via Teams to discuss details.
