Center for meditation and mindfulness. Benediktushof was founded in 2003 by the Benedictine and Zen master Willig Jäger (1925-2020). It is one of the biggest centers for Christian contemplation, mindfulness and Zen-meditation in Europe. It is a place where people can find themselves in silence, focus on the essential, and return to their everyday life with impulses on how to change their life for the better. What do meditation, mindfulness, contemplation, and Zen do? Everybody is longing for happiness, contentment, love, and a full experience of life with all its facets. Practices such as Christian contemplation and Zen have been giving answers to that longing for thousands of years, at its core focusing on meditation and mindfulness. But how to meditate correctly and what does mindfulness mean in daily life? Benediktushof in Holzkirchen, as a center for meditation and mindfulness, provides answers to precisely these questions.
