Maria Zacherl has been leading our annual international meditation marathon for many years. Her great passion is meditation and emergent dialogues, which she regularly practices as a dialogue facilitator. In both, meditation and dialogue, she experiences the potential for concrete change. For her, the development of humanity is the top priority, as a direct result of the transformative power of meditation and the experience of non-separation in dialogue. In her everyday life, this is also particularly noticeable in her work as a naturopath. In this deeper and transformed togetherness, a completely new basis for treatment emerges, and thus for her, spiritual practice never stops outside of meditation and dialogue times.
