With the growing awareness of holistic and complementary approaches to personal balance and inner growth, the concept of transformation through spiritual practices is gaining increased attention.
Bruno Groening (1906-1959) brought a simple message: there is a higher power that is the basis of all living things. He showed how this power can be absorbed freely to transform body and soul.
Since 1979 the Bruno Groening Circle of Friends has continued to pass on his Teaching on living in harmony with natural and spiritual laws.
Speakers will include Mrs. Brigitte Hutter from Germany and Mr. Jan Skopic from the Czech Republic.
The event is open to all who are interested.
