here you can read some student experiences of participants of former (amsterdam-)retreats by Susan Mickel

Student Experiences

​​

“Susan Mickel teaches in a logical and practical way: she makes meditation understandable and accessible”.

​

“I learned skills I use every day; she looks at life in a practical and wise way.”

​

“I became more conscious of time and how to cope with time: to do things with attention. I live in a time that we do thousand things at a time, often with a focus on the outside world. Even if we stand still, we are taking a picture to expose on our socials. Susan learned me to do exactly the opposite and the effect is that I experience more quietness and balance in my life.“

​

“It is all about loving attention for one-self; being good enough in who I am and how I do.”

 

"I enjoyed the retreat very much: it stimulated me to practice everyday."

​

"I am familiar with Buddhist theories, and it was very insightful to apply them myself under the guidance of Susan Mickel. It has deepened my meditation practice."

​

"I have been meditating under Susan's guidance for 15 years now. I experience her as an inspiring teacher. My practice deepens with every retreat. Meditation has become a natural part of my daily life and has brought me much: peace and space in my mind, and empathy for and compassion towards other living beings."
