Special Meditation Event in NYC: Meet the Founder of Acem Meditation – Dr. Are Holen, MD PhD.
On Wednesday, 16 March, 2016 at 7:00 P.M., Acem Meditation US will have the pleasure of hosting a very special lecture by the founder of Acem Meditation and head of Acem International, Dr. Are Holen.
This is a rare visit and a great opportunity to learn about this wonderful meditation technique from the key person involved in its development. If you use Acem Meditation as more than an occasional relaxation tool, this is an event not to be missed!
Dr. Holen was born in 1945 in Norway and founded Acem meditation in 1966 while he was still a college student. He developed an interest in yoga and meditation early in life and started practicing yoga and breathing techniques in 1961 at the age of 15. He started practicing meditation in 1963 and has become a meditation guide for countless others. After graduating college, Dr. Holen became a prominent medical doctor and professor of psychology, specializing in traumatic stress psychiatry, as well as a highly respected lecturer and meditation guide. Dr. Holen is responsible for teaching meditation to tens of thousands of people across many countries and cultures - either personally or via the instructors he has trained.
Dr. Holen frequently leads Acem retreats in a variety of locations around the world, thus bringing forward the main goal of Acem Meditation which is to make meditation accessible to those who want to practice it and help people develop existentially through mindful, reflective process, in particular the practice of Acem Meditation.
During his visit to New York City, Dr. Holen will give a lecture on the topic “Issues and Challenges in Personality Development” - which will bring insight into how this wonderful tool can be used to bring growth to our lives.
