About Berlin Dharma
​
Berlin Dharma offers programs in insight meditation. Our programs are English-speaking. Wednesday Night Meditation is a weekly sitting, held in Mitte, led by Katrin Micklitz.

Berlin Dharma was founded in 2018 by Peter Doobinin. When Peter returned to live in the US, he asked Katrin to lead the group. Katrin is an experienced mindfulness teacher and well-versed in leading groups. She has a dedication to meditation practice and love for the dharma.  She's grateful to have the opportunity to co-host Berlin Dharma and offer mindfulness meditation sessions to people in Berlin. 

Peter Doobinin founded Berlin Dharma after teaching insight meditation in New York City for more than 20 years. In addition to Berlin Dharma, he is a founder of New York Insight and Downtown Meditation Community.  Although no longer a permanent resident of Berlin, he hopes to continue to visit Germany and teach dharma classes and retreats.  He also provides online programs and individual instruction through The Dharma Student Project.  He is the author of The Skill of Living.


About Insight Meditation
​
The heart of insight meditation is the practice of mindfulness, as explicated in the Buddha’s teaching on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness. Through the practice of mindfulness we learn to cultivate skillful qualities, concentration and discernment.

The insight meditation teachings come from the Theravada tradition. Theravada practice is derived from the core teachings of the Buddha, as found in the Pali Canon, the earliest surviving record of what the Buddha taught. 

It's important to remember that while insight meditation comes from the teachings of the Buddha, the practice is open to all students. One does not have to identify as Buddhist. And, in fact, over the years many students from many different religious and spiritual backgrounds have attended the insight meditation classes and been part of the community of practitioners. All are welcome!
