Susanne Ahlendorf and Martin Bruders are leading a new four-session online course that treats meditation as a way of meeting ordinary life rather than an activity confined to formal sitting. Embodying Meditation: Living Your Practice began on September 10 and concludes October 1, with each live session examining how awareness can move into the body, relationships and daily choices.
From scheduled practice to lived attention
The course is open to beginners and experienced meditators. Its central premise is that practice matures when it becomes less dependent on ideal conditions and more available during routines, decisions and difficult moments. Participants work with present-moment awareness, self-acceptance and the coordination of body, mind and emotion while recognizing that resistance and discomfort remain part of the process.
Each 90-minute session combines teaching, guided meditation, small-group discussion and questions. Home practices connect the meetings, while downloadable video, audio and written transcripts allow participants to revisit the material. Two additional guided meditations from Thomas Hübl accompany the live program.
Four themes build toward integration
The opening session focuses on cultivating an intrinsic practice, including how to stop waiting for perfect circumstances and bring attention to everyday challenges. The second explores relational presence, asking participants to notice internal resistance and consider how connection with oneself shapes connection with other people.
The third session turns toward inner guidance, patience and the relationship between longing and growth. The final meeting, Wholehearted Embodiment, examines how physical presence and systemic awareness can inform action. Together, the sequence moves from establishing a personal practice toward allowing meditation to influence how a person listens, relates and responds.
Two experienced facilitators lead the work
Ahlendorf is a Frankfurt-based non-medical practitioner for psychotherapy who has led education and training groups since 1998. Her work includes meditation, leadership, Transparent Communication, mysticism and healing, alongside practice in the developmental trauma method NARM.
Bruders has studied in Thomas Hübl’s field for more than 15 years and has facilitated meditation retreats as well as programs exploring sacred texts and mystical principles. He also brings a background in social work, mediation, coaching and performance. Their shared MakeSpaceForGrace project connects contemplative practice with spiritual inquiry and group learning.
By structuring the course around integration rather than technique alone, the pair are addressing a familiar gap in meditation education. Participants are not simply accumulating another set of practices. They are examining how attention changes the quality of work, relationships and routine moments after a formal session ends.
