Jörg Dierkes is a qualified psychologist, whose special interest is hypnosis therapy, which he offers in his own private practice and teaches on courses. In addition, for 20 years he has been joyfully practicing Qi Gong, which he also teaches. Since his first visit to Plum Village in 2001 he has been inspired by the teachings on mindfulness and has integrated these into his own work as a psychotherapist. His goal is to offer mindfulness in a range of different ways and to make it as simple and easy to experience its effects as possible.
