Begin your journey with our 12-week MRP Beginner mindfulness program, created to help you work through personal challenges with greater clarity and ease.
The MRP Beginner Level (Mind Retreat Program) is a distinctive 12-week mindfulness journey designed to support you in navigating the obstacles that may be affecting your well-being.
Whether you are dealing with stress, burnout, persistent rumination, anger, unhelpful habits, restlessness, shifting emotions, a difficult decision, or simply looking for more stability and meaning in life, this program offers a practical path forward.
Developed by Niels de Stürler Boekwijt, this 12-week program is the first part of a larger whole. Drawing on years of intensive meditation practice, experience as a monk, and extensive research in Asia, Niels has brought together the most effective and essential mindfulness techniques into one structured program. The results speak for themselves, with countless participants experiencing the benefits of the mind retreat program.
Across the 12 weeks, you will progress step by step from foundational practices to more advanced mindfulness techniques. Clear instructional videos and detailed explanations guide you through each stage of your path toward inner peace and mental clarity. The program follows a progressive structure, with new techniques introduced every two weeks so you can practice them and gradually integrate them into daily life.

During the MRP Beginner Level, you will use our online learning platform and mindfulness app to access all course materials. This includes explanatory articles, guided video sessions, motivational videos, exercises, and practice schedules. If you choose the guided program, you will also be added to an online mindfulness classroom where you can learn and practice alongside other practitioners from around the world.
Although our guided group sessions are not required, we strongly recommend them. As you work through the techniques, questions may come up, and having a personal guide can be valuable. Even without guidance, you can begin the program right away and request additional support if needed. In that case, you can purchase the on-demand version and start immediately with our online program.
Master Niels, founder of the Inner Mind Institute, brings thoughtful leadership to this program with a steady, attentive presence throughout each stage of the journey. Participants are supported with careful guidance designed to encourage a deep and meaningful exploration of mindfulness, while also creating the structure needed for genuine progress. Rather than following an on-demand format, the experience is intentionally...
