Ancient wisdom and modern science confirm the beneficial effects of mindfulness and compassion. These qualities grow with practice, which is perhaps what the world needs more than ever. MBCL is a compassion training programme, developed by Erik van den Brink and Frits Koster, and a deepening follow-on course after foundational courses in mindfulness.
Compassion does not exclude anyone. It embraces friend and foe – humans, animals, plants, in all their diversity, and yes… also ourselves.

As a psychiatrist-psychotherapist I felt particularly attracted to methods that empower our self-healing capacity. Thus, I became a pioneer in applying mindfulness- and compassion-based approaches in mental health care. My work shifted from being a therapist to being a trainer in self-therapy. Having retired from clinical work, I remain active as a trainer, supervisor and counselor of health care workers, mindfulness teachers and other professionals.
