“Realize deeply that the Present Moment is all you ever have.
Make the Now the Primary Focus of your life.”
– Eckhart Tolle –
What is this Workshop about?
This one-day workshop invites you to step out of the stream of thoughts and sink into the stillness of the present moment. From an inner space of silence, we let go of what distracts us in everyday life from simply being present — with an open heart and in the flow of life.
We begin with playful exercises to help you move from the head into the body, let go, and arrive fully in the here and now.
From there, we gradually sink step by step into meditation. We explore energy, body, mind, feelings, and the deep beliefs by which our lives are often unconsciously shaped. Together, we discover how to train our awareness in order to bring more harmony and openness to these different levels — and in this way develop greater sensitivity to life, while allowing space for stillness, peace, and love to arise within us.
Towards the end, we move into the heart and into our connection with ourselves and with others. We explore how meditation can deepen and transform these connections.
Experience a day that brings you back to what you truly are: free, loving, and fully alive in the present moment.

Om creates a space in which each person’s presence becomes tangible and visible. He gently guides the participants step by step into a state of inner stillness, where the heart opens and only the present moment matters. In a playful way, people are able to sink into a deeper awareness of their true self. No matter how stressed or tense they may have been in the morning, by the end of the day everyone returns home with a gentle smile.
– Tobias
“A beautiful place to arrive more deeply in yourself. The shared silence and sense of belonging were very powerful and helped me find inner peace again. I returned to everyday life feeling stronger and clearer. Open Sky House is a wonderful place to turn to for anyone longing for a day, a weekend, or a whole week of inner peace — surrounded by kind people. ❤️”
– Frauke
“True Peace is Not Something You Find —
It’s What Remains when you Stop Searching.”

Ever since, he has participated in numerous retreats with different spiritual masters to deepen his practice and understanding.
