The Administrators of the Seminar:
Lára Marteinsdóttir is a filmmaker and a University of Iceland teacher, who changed the course of her filmmaking life fundamentally after finding the way to inner peace at a meditation retreat in California in 2001. Lára lived at a meditation retreat center for a few years in England, from 2009 -2011 where she sat numerous silent retreats, applying the technique which the Buddha taught to his disciples; Anapana/Samadhi meditation (deep concentration) of stilling and disciplining the mind, the practice of insight meditation, Vipassana, which brings about an opening into our deepest regions of the body/mind/spirit phenomena, and Metta meditation (loving kindness or harmlessness to all sentient beings). Lára loves ageing into an old content and authentic crone, and at 54 she happily shares her experiences with all those who want to find the way out of mental suffering.
