What is happiness and freedom and how to live them out in modern society?

Modern life… Sometimes it feels as if we are running sprints all day long. 

What if there was a different way of living?

Is compassion a weakness or could we turn it into a superpower?

Could it be possible to use ancient wisdom to bring true happiness and freedom to our lives?

In this webinar Carine will lead a conversation between, JEM and Rodolfo that will seek to respond these questions. We will aim to provide you with practical concepts and practices that will help you live in a greater state of wellbeing.

Topics to be discussed

• Time as a limited resource and the importance of setting priorities

• Being Active versus Busy

• The impact of living life intentionally versus from ambition

• Embarking in a journey of self-discovery to develop wisdom

• Engaging life with compassion  

• Living in a state of wellbeing

Jerker JEM (Chan Phap Ho) Fredriksson

Grew up in Stockholm. He began to meditate during his studies at the University of Lund from where he graduated with a Masters in Law. After a few years working in Stockholm, he left work for a sabbatical year. Travel led him to pilgrimage places in India and became an extensive retreat experience. In Bodhgaya, he discovered Thich Nhat Hanh's books and decided to go to Plum Village, France.

In May 2002, he arrived home in Plum Village. After many retreats and months of community life, he decided to join as a monk where he remained from 2003 until 2020. This time led him out into the world on mindfulness teaching and retreat tours with his teacher and community.

In 2004, he received the 14 Mindfulness Trainings and became a member of the Community of Interbeing, which he continues.

Between 2006 and 2020, he lived in the Deer Park Monastery, where he was an abbot from 2010-2020.

In 2010, he received the Teacher Lamp (Dharma Lamp) from Thich Nhat Hanh and has since given teachings and led retreats in many states in the US, in Canada and in Sweden. He has mentored younger monks and offered classes for them.

After being seriously ill with cancer 2018-2019, from which he has recovered, he has decided to continue living in Sweden. He continues to practice and teach and shares his joy, peace, love and freedom in Swedish on the Joy of the Heart - Hjärtats Glädje (Wordpress and Facebook).

Including nature, movements and creative expression are for Jerker important elements in life and the art of mindful living.
