Speakers
Jan Benda
Psychologist and Therapist
Jan Benda studied psychology at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University in Prague. He has trained in various therapeutic approaches, including satitherapy, Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor (PBSP), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), among others. His work focuses primarily on incorporating mindfulness and self-compassion into psychotherapy, personal development, and even management and leadership. A frequent traveler to Southeast Asia, Jan also spent time living as a Buddhist monk in Sri Lanka. He runs the website mindfulness.cz and is the author of the book Mindfulness and Self-Compassion: Transforming Emotions in Psychotherapy, along with his recent release, Mindfulness and Me: From Self-Healing to Self-Transcendence. In his own words: "Truthfulness, courage, belonging, freedom. These are the values that guide my life. I’m a psychologist, psychotherapist, trainer, and coach. Born in 1974. Ego? Definitely. Controlled foolishness? Perhaps. I’ve lived as a laborer in Florida and as a monk in the Sri Lankan jungle. I’ve worked with the dying, held their hands, watched them cry or find peace. I’ve faced the suffering of others, and my own as well. It has brought me both strength and humility."
