Lecture: Master of Willpower and Inner Peace, Chris Norre

Chris Norre has run 30 marathons in 30 days and holds a master's degree in philosophy and sports. But it was a run in minus 30 degrees across a mountain range in Alaska that turned his life upside down - suddenly time stood still, and everything was calm, inside and out.

That experience led him to change course. He started a family, earned a master's degree in consciousness philosophy, met a Tibetan master, practiced yoga, and became vegetarian. Together, these showed him that the calm he had chased on long runs already lived within him.

Today Chris works with the balance between action and inner peace. His approach is to put techniques and methods in the background and instead meet the present moment we always inhabit - with curiosity and an open view of ourselves, both alone and in the company of others. At the lecture, he offers concrete insights and guides participants through exercises.
