Deepening Meditation
Deepening Meditation:
Stillness, Heart & Relationality
A 4-week online course with Martin Bruders and Susanne Ahlendorf
Course Begins September 4, 2025
with Martin Bruders and Susanne Ahlendorf
Discover how every moment can become part of your spiritual path.
Meditation is a central aspect of Thomas Hübl’s teachings. In this course, you’ll develop tools and techniques that give you access to higher levels of presence, stillness, and true relationality.
In this 4-week online course, we’ll focus on the wisdom of the heart, and the mystical dimension of silence. By resting in the heart with awareness, we’ll learn to meet ourselves and others with more openness and compassion.
The course invites us to experience meditation not just as a practice, but as a living teacher in our daily lives.
The principles for practicing meditation include:
- Synchronizing body, mind, and emotions
- Promoting self-acceptance
- Accepting that difficulties are part of the path
- Cultivating awareness of the present moment
- Exploring how you look at yourself within your meditation
This course will be led by Thomas Hübl’s authorized instructors, Martin Bruders and Susanne Ahlendorf. Together, they’ll provide teaching and practical guidance on how to deepen your meditation practice while integrating it into your everyday life. You’ll have the opportunity to practice in small breakout groups and ask questions.
This course is open to all levels of experience, from beginners to longtime practitioners. Whatever your profession or lifestyle, we believe anyone can benefit from a meditation practice.
“Mindfulness and meditation are essential to help us slow down, digest, and integrate the experiences of our lives.”
Thomas Hübl

Martin Bruders
Martin Bruders is a seeker. His interest in the “making of” of every moment and deeper exploration of his own being in relation brought him to the work of Thomas more than 15 years ago. He is a qualified social worker, mediator, and coach, and worked for over 28 years as a comedian and presenter at over 2000 corporate events in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Martin loves to sit in meditation and tune in deeper at sacred places all over Europe to perceive their energetic specificity. He has had the honor to facilitate numerous meditation retreats in the field of Thomas over the years, as well as to moderate the Celebrate Life Festival in Germany. His passion lies in re-connecting his Christian roots back to its origin in Jewish mysticism and the power of Mother Earth.
