Over the course of a year, you will immerse yourself in the essence of mindfulness and work toward making it a natural part of daily life.

The MRP Senior Level introduces more profound philosophies and practices, supporting a renewed perspective on yourself and helping you release deep-rooted pain.

Mindfulness assessment

This advanced program includes a thorough assessment process that combines theory and practice. Through transformative exercises, participants gain clearer insight into their mindfulness skills, identifying both areas that need more attention and those already well developed.

During the first eight months, you are encouraged to follow an intensive weekly practice schedule, shared with peers and instructors to support accountability and progress. Reflection is an important part of the journey, with participants documenting challenges, insights, areas for improvement, and exercises that need repetition. This process strengthens personal growth while also contributing to the wider mindfulness community.

Advanced Body Mindfulness Techniques

As your practice deepens, the body becomes a key anchor for awareness and the accumulation of mindfulness energy. Building on the body-mindfulness techniques introduced in the Trainers Module, this stage expands into more advanced methods that reveal the body-mind connection in greater depth.

These practices require patience and consistency. Through mindful repetition, they gradually become a natural part of your mindfulness path, strengthening both your own practice and your ability to support others.

Advanced Sense Mindfulness Techniques

These techniques are designed to refine your connection to the senses and the sensations they create. As sensitivity increases, you become better able to step away from deeper problem areas in the body, while also releasing tension and blockages more effectively.

With regular practice, this approach becomes a powerful tool for exploring the relationship between your senses and overall well-being, helping you cultivate a more expansive state of mindfulness.

Advanced Mood Mindfulness Techniques

The mood mindfulness techniques help you recognize emotional states such as craving, delusion, and aversion. You will learn to observe how these moods arise and fade, gaining insight into their temporary nature.

As you continue, you develop greater emotional resilience and clarity, making it easier to detach from obstacles and move through your inner landscape with balance and understanding.

Advanced Wisdom Mindfulness Techniques

These techniques deepen your understanding of the mind’s patterns and behaviors. They help you uncover the wisdom within your thoughts and actions, encouraging a clearer perception of reality.

With steady practice, this becomes a central part of your mindfulness journey, supporting more aware and wise responses to life’s complexities.

Cyclical practice

All techniques are practiced throughout the year in four-month cycles. Completing the mindfulness assessment three times in one year brings progressively deeper insight and prepares you for the Expert Level that follows Advanced.

MRP Advanced Retreat

We recommend joining the 7-day MRP Advanced Retreat as a complement to this program. If you have already attended the MRP Intermediate Retreat, you know how impactful the experience can be. Places are limited, so early checking is advised.

The program

The Mind Retreat Program (MRP) is a progressive journey that guides participants from foundational to advanced mindfulness practices within a clear structure. The Beginner Level includes access to an online learning platform and mindfulness app with instructional videos, articles, guided sessions, motivational content, and practice schedules.

At the Intermediate Level, the program takes place over a 7-day retreat or 7 sessions within 12 weeks, building a solid base for the advanced stage. The Senior Level then expands into a full year of advanced body mindfulness, sense mindfulness, mood mindfulness, and wisdom mindfulness, practiced in four-month cycles with assessments that prepare participants for the Expert Level.

A flexible practice schedule supports daily progress while allowing room for individual needs. This comprehensive path is designed to quiet the mind, strengthen body awareness, and support meaningful personal growth.

Guidance from Master Niels

The program is guided by Master Niels, who offers attentive support throughout the mindfulness study days. Unlike on-demand courses, this format places emphasis on structured guidance and careful supervision, helping participants deepen their understanding and mastery of the practices.

Guided mindfulness sessions

The Mindfulness Study Days will be held from 10 AM until 5 PM.

If you live in the Netherlands, attendance on location is mandatory. You are welcome at Zonnebergstraat 18 in Wilp.

• You can bring your own lunch.
