Compassion

​

 

​

The Doka Foundation is a project initiated by Doka Sensei (lay name Maja Z Mikos, Ph.D.) with the aim to touch and transform the life of the marginalised population segment that resides in a serious life-crisis and has little or no access to mindfulness practice and mind trainings.

 

Support is provided through awareness training based on the mindfulness system developed by Dr. Maja Doka Mikos (the Three Kernel System). The system is rooted in ancient teachings and consists of elements of Zen Buddhism, Daoism, and Yoga combined with insights of modern science. By educating people about the nature and functionality of body and mind, and providing tools to prevent and relieve stress symptoms, their foundation is continuously strengthened, resilience to stress increased, and inner growth accelerated, which ultimately leads to a better lifestyle choices.
