Drop-In Meditation When Things Fall Apart
Meditation evenings in Copenhagen inspired by Pema Chödrön’s book When Things Fall Apart
After some years of pause, I am happy to offer Drop-In Meditation again in Copenhagen.
Some of you may remember these evenings from before. Others may be coming for the first time. Both are very welcome.
We live in a time where uncertainty has become impossible to ignore. Things we relied upon — outer structures, roles, identities, plans, even ideas about ourselves — can suddenly shift or disappear.
The question is not how to stop things from falling apart.
The question is:
Can we learn to meet life differently?
Can we find a deeper ground within ourselves that is not so easily shaken?
This series of meditation evenings is loosely inspired by Pema Chödrön’s honest and beautiful book When Things Fall Apart. Together we will explore how meditation can help us stay present in the middle of uncertainty, emotional difficulty, change, and everyday challenges.
We will draw from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, but the evenings will be practical, accessible, and rooted in ordinary life. You do not need to be Buddhist, and you do not need previous meditation experience.
We will explore how to meet difficult emotions, fear, restlessness, conflict, and the feeling of losing ground — not by escaping them, but by learning to stay present with more kindness, courage, and clarity.
The evenings will include:
– Short teachings
– Guided meditations
– Practical tools for daily life
– Time for questions and dialogue
The emphasis will be on meditation practice — but not only as something we do on the cushion. We will explore how awareness, kindness, and inner steadiness can become part of ordinary life, especially in those moments where we usually become reactive, contracted, or lost in old patterns.
The course will also offer ways to develop a regular meditation practice and to bring tools from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition into daily life — so that we can find a place of real peace within ourselves, stay connected with what is true, and respond to life with more clarity and love.
These evenings are open both to experienced practitioners and complete beginners.
You are welcome to come to individual evenings as drop-ins, but the series will gradually build on itself, so joining regularly will deepen the experience.
