Projects
Projects translate SAILR’s approaches into concrete practice. They create spaces for participation, encounter, creativity and shared learning.
Bridges of Silence – A German-Czech Exchange
Status: Approved – planning for 2027. Bridges of Silence brings together people from Germany and Czechia through Buddhist practice and personal exchange. We want to explore how silence, presence and attentive listening can help people understand each other.
What is planned?
Over five encounter days at two locations, participants will meet, meditate and explore mindfulness, trust, mindful speech, cooperation and ways to carry these experiences into everyday life. Exact dates are being coordinated with our partners.
Project partners
The project is being organised with the Amitayus Centre in Dippoldiswalde and Kwan Um Zen in Děč (Czechia).
Participation
A total of 30 places are available across Germany and Czechia. Anyone interested can get in touch already; further details on the programme and registration will follow.
Funding: Co-funded by the European Union under Interreg Saxony–Czechia 2021–2027, through the Euroregion Elbe/Labe Small Projects Fund.
