Our organization
Our institute is located in the Netherlands and our department is well cooperating with the monks in Thailand at Piyapodok Dhammastan, a temple in the north of Thailand. We provide mindfulness lessons, beginners courses, retreats and teacher trainers.
Founder:
Niels de Stürler Boekwijt is the founder of the Inner Mind Institute. Master Niels is trained for many years by Master Thanadith, a venerable buddhist monk that lives in the north of Thailand. Master Thanadith trained Niels on the path towards enlightenment. He Tauch specific mindfulness techniques that where essential to reach deeper realizations. Niels realized that knowing is one thing but experiencing these realizations is a totally different thing.
Mission:
We strive to become a worldwide organization to learn practitioners and teachers everything about the essence of mindfulness. We welcome you to help us in spreading mindfulness around the world.
Vision:
Their are many great teachers and guru’s along the world that share their benefits of meditation and mindfulness. The way to get to those insights and realizations aren’t easy at all and the steps that should be taken to experience all of the benefits that comes with it are not transparent and visible to many of us. Master Niels is one of the first Westerners who created a well understandable roadmap towards deeper levels of mindfulness. The right insights will come by itself when your practice at the right way. Together with many other teachers we would like spread this mindfulness roadmap to many others.
