7-Day Retreat w/Stephan Bielfeldt
In this retreat Stephan Bielfedt will give talks, be available for private meetings , take part in group dialogue.
Stephan started working with Toni Packer in 1983, regularly taking part in her retreats in Germany and and in the United States. Towards the end of 1990, Toni asked him to offer private meetings with participants during her retreats in Germany. In 2003, she asked that he lead retreats in Poland and in Germany, and since that time, he has been holding retreats regularly in German and in English, and has also helped to found two meditation groups.
Stephan has recently written a book titled “Seven Days in Silence: How to find oneself in quiet meditation,” translated from the original German by long-time Center member Robert Watson, and with a foreword by Dagmar Apel, a colleague of Toni Packer. The book is available on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Days-Silence-oneself-meditation/dp/3758325668) and Stephan has indicated that all proceeds from the sale of the English language edition will be donated to Springwater Center.
In Stephan’s words,
I was most fortunate to have been able to work closely with Toni Packer for so many years. I seek to share with others the experience and insights of those years of meditation work, in the meditation groups and in retreat.
