\u201cWhen I got to know Siggi Bergen 8 years ago, I learned that meditation requires no effort or basic knowledge and can actually be used in any everyday situation. Through mindfulness, both as a person and in my work as an actor, I am deeper in the here and now and everything around me becomes “relative” in a joyful way. Just a few minutes a day is a tremendous source of energy” and Mr. Bergen has a sensitive way of conveying it all\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Matthias Junge became well known through the leading role of police chief Kai Timmermann in the TV series SOKO Wismar, which he played for 10 years from 2011 to 2021. Furthermore, Junge is known to a wide audience as a film actor, among others in television series such as Tatort, Heldt, Morden im Norden, The Crime Scene Cleaner.” Source: Wikipedia<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n

\u201cI was never good at school. And never a big fan of any belief systems, clubs, forms of teaching or any kind of pooling of knowledge.
\nI have always been suspicious when it comes to \u201cfollowing\u201d a school.
\nSo for a long time I struggled with the idea of \u200b\u200bmeditation, or learning to do it. And even avoided.
\nIt was a perfect coincidence that I got to know Siegmund Bergen on a walk with friends and not with the intention of finding a meditation teacher.
\nSo we arranged to meet at my house very casually – and just sit on the floor somewhere.
\nAnd that was it. There was no more.
\nI was no longer afraid. Because I could feel and understand – that it’s not about understanding something. To \u201cperform\u201d something.
\nNeither about me, the student, nor about the teacher. It doesn’t matter at all.
\nSomething to believe.
\nTo do something right.
\nOn the contrary – it’s about LETTING GO of all these things.
\nAnd as simple and banal as that sounds, it is actually that big.
\nSiggi has such a wonderfully humble and honest way of passing on these techniques.
\nAnd in the end it was a relief to be able to follow this \u201ctechnique\u201d.
\nBecause it’s about learning silence.
\nAnd silence belongs to no one, no religion, no club, no system, no school, no belief system.
\nWhich is why learning meditation is not learning, not doing, but rather letting go.<\/p>\n

I am very grateful that I was able to meet Siggi and that he was able to introduce me to this wonderful art of silence.<\/p>\n

“Vicky Krieps appeared in various television films and series, including the first episode of Frankfurter Tatort from 2011, A Better World. In 2014, Vicky Krieps played the title role in the ZDF production Elly Beinhorn – Solo Flight by Christine Hartmann with Max Riemelt, Christian Berkel and Harald Krassnitzer. In 2017, she played the female lead alongside Daniel Day-Lewis in Paul Thomas Anderson’s multiple Oscar-nominated film The Silk Thread. In 2022, she appeared in the historical drama Corsage – where she was also executive producer – in which she portrayed Empress Elisabeth (“Sisi”) of Austria-Hungary, for which she won the European Film Prize for Best Actress. She also took on a leading role in Emily Atef’s relationship drama More than Ever. Both films received invitations to the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes Film Festival, where Krieps was awarded the prize for the best performance for her performance in Corsage. Filming began on Ingeborg Bachmann – Journey into the Desert in April 2022: In Margarethe von Trotta’s film, Vicky Krieps plays one of the main roles, that of the writer Ingeborg Bachmann.” Source: Wikipedia<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n

\u201cI had no prior knowledge of meditation, nor did I realize what effect it would have on me. Mr. Bergen guided me through effective meditations in his very pleasant way. He not only opened up the space of my own silence for me, he also showed me in an impressive way a way into my own grief and my interpersonal pain in order to deal with it. That was very healing for me and an unimaginable experience, for which I am very grateful to Mr. Bergen. I wish him continued happiness in his work as a meditation teacher, and you a meeting with Mr. Bergen.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I had been aware of meditation for a long time, but never a practice.
\nIt was only through my workshop with Sigmund Bergen that I attempted to integrate meditative routines into my generally mindful life.<\/p>\n

A good friend recommended this to me, we quickly made an appointment and Sigmund visited me at home for the workshop – uncomplicated and integrated into my living environment.
\nIn his introduction – and always – the practices he imparted made it easier for me to openly encounter my capacity for inner and physical silence and meditation and to allow myself to be carried by what I found. Meditation is no longer a concept I can’t handle – I found it through techniques that I still use today.
\nSiegmund showed me ways of meditation with his sincere and pleasant way of teaching. And helped me to allow this.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
