Siegen

Buddhist mindfulness and meditation teacher

Buddhist mindfulness and meditation are quite simply the teaching and training of how our mind works and how, over time, with the right training, we can change the way the mind works.


In Buddhist mindfulness and meditation, we purposefully work with the mind to strengthen it, make it flexible and a useful powerful tool to radically increase mental capacity and quality.


The teachings Morten offers are modern and practical, where the focus is on direct application in everyday life, where work and career must balance with family, close relationships and leisure interests.

Furthermore, the teaching is in a secular format, which means that the religious aspect of the Buddhist teachings is omitted.


Siegen is my Buddhist name, given to me by my sensei Shomon Pia Trans, and means holy source.

“Most in our team hadn’t tried meditation before, and plunging in at work did take a bit of courage and opening of mindset.


Afterwards, everyone agreed it had been a valuable and important experience – not least holding up the mirror to reflect on what it means to be aware and attentive around others.”

“Sat down and went straight into the flow. My mind has just been so busy for the past few days that it’s been such a relief to let go completely. This has become my respite, and I look forward to wrapping up my day with this”
