Have you been dealing with an increasing amount of discomfort, stress, fatigue, pain…? Or does it seem like you are less productive or less motivated than you used to be? Would you like to enhance your stress resilience, alongside others? The center organizes group trainings to enhance your mental and fysical well-being.
Besides that, we offer individual consultations for different audiences (youth 15+, young adults, adults and elderly people) and regularly organize courses for vulnerable people.
In 2007, I participated in Gregory Kramer’s first “Insight Dialogue” retreat in the Netherlands. Gregory is a renowned meditation teacher, author and expert in the Insight Dialogue methodology. Together with Professor Florence Meleo-Meyer, he developed the evidence-based protocol Interpersonal Mindfulness.
In 2009, I attended the first Interpersonal retreat for caretakers in Boston (US). I was immediately touched by their vision and approach. Over the years, I have attended many retreats organized by both meditation teachers.
I learned a lot from them a.o. about dealing with interpersonal stress in communication, which I integrate in the MBSR trainings and in my work as a psychologist/psychotherapist. Moreover, this has also meant a lot to me personally.
Recently, I interviewed Gregory Kramer. You can read the interview below.

In these more challenging times, we hear from participants that it is not easy to take good care of themselves and maintain a positive mindset. Disturbing messages that reach us through the media, such as the newspaper or TV, can trigger feelings of anxiety and overwhelm.

Hello everyone and welcome on my website!
My name is Marisa Hoslet and I have over 20 years of experience in the field of mindfulness and therapy.
I give the trainings you can find on this website and am also a psychologist for adults, adolescents and young adults in my practice ‘Lavendel’. I also work in the Brussels University Consultation (BRUCC) and at the VUB.
My life mission is to contribute to a more mindful society, where people have a higher quality of life and live (more) intentionally.
That is why I chose the name ‘Centrum voor Mindful Leven’, which stands for ‘Center for Mindful Living’.
The center works in close collaboration with the BRUCC Center at the VUB.
BRUCC is an ambulatory center for psychological support focused on children, students and adults. This center focuses on individual sessions, systemic therapy, group sessions and psychodiagnostic research.

A thought tells a story. And you can choose at any moment whether to go along with the story of that thought or not.

Do you struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, excessive worrying or psychosomatic complaints? The best way to solve this is via sessions with a psychologist.
In my multidisciplinary psychological practice Lavendel, I combine different methods and techniques. Together we search for causes, connections and solutions.
We live in a time when social media is omnipresent. However, it is very important to use social media platforms mindfully.
How? You can apply the same mindfulness exercises and principles that support you in other areas of your life.
In addition, watch out for misinformation that you find online. Social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram do not check if content is correct or not.
Important: The social media channels of the center only contain information that is evidence-based and provided by trained experts.

Note: Since we have recently been receiving inappropriate photos, friend requests from fake profiles and intrusive messages via Facebook and Instagram on a regular basis, we are choosing to distance ourselves from these platforms for a while. We will, however, be posting new material on the website very regularly. So check our website from time to time if you like to read new tips, inspiration and information regarding mindfulness and MBSR.
