* Psychotherapist / arttherapist (BA) (private practise)
* Pursuing a Mphil / PhD (Cognitive science): philosophical and experimental research on the effects of meditation on cognitive flexibility as a function of mental balance/well being as hypothesised by Alan Wallace.
Cognitive flexibility is understood as the ability to react in a adequate way (by coming up with ad hoc cognitive strategies) to new and unexpected situations.
The central Buddhist notion of equanimity is very well reflected in cognitive flexibility, if one imagines to take equanimity into practice :-)
Being helpful and adequate whatever the situation..
How did you hear about Eleusis?

Dear Mirjam
it was nice meeting you at "Oasis of Long Life" the other day. I wish you all the best for your forthcoming exam. We shall certainly meet again since I live so close to Eleusis! A bientôt!
Hi Mirjam, thanks very much for your friend request, much appreciated. I read of your recent car journey with Dharmavidya and Jnanamati and remembered back to my recent time in their company.
I am planning to visit Eleusis around June and July next year, maybe we will meet there or at another gathering somewhere. best wishes Rob
