In 1997, he went to India where he spent seven years. His quest for beauty and deeper meaning brought him to study classical Indian music under the guidance of Sri Parashuram Pandey. After several long solitary periods in a little house in the Himalayas, Denis met teachers who inspired him, such as Christopher Titmuss, Jaya Ashmore and Ajay Singh. Since 2006, he has been teaching in Spain, France, Holland, Austria and India.<br \/>His approach to meditation, based on our capacity to observe, is simple and avoids any belief system. His practical path, neither extravagant nor complex, invites our honest and open exploration. He teaches us to pause our daily routine and to observe ourselves calmly and without judgment. His simple approach develops our self awareness, self knowledge and the ability just to be.<br \/><br \/>He is a teacher of the Dharma Nature association, and seeks to simplify the approach to meditation to make it more accessible and integrated into daily life.      <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<p>\u201cSelf knowledge is not an accumulation of knowledge about ourselves, but rather a capacity to be with oneself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>A testimonial from Mark Coleman<\/strong> (teacher at Spirit Rock, writer and poet, author of Awake in the Wild, Mindfulness trainer at Google)<br \/><em>\u201cDenis is a talented teacher, able to convey the depth of Mindfulness teachings with passion and clarity, making them accessible to all audiences.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">His professional background:<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Meditation training for children in England with \u2018Mind with Heart\u2019<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mindfulness teacher certified by the Mindfulness Training Institute <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Holder of the SEVE course certificate (approved by the French Ministry of Education)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leading workshops in primary schools in Berlou, Roquebrun and Armissan, St-Pons, St-Etienne d&#8217;Ablagnan and Pr\u00e9mian.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class='avia-iframe-wrap'><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dharma Nature - pr\u00e9sentation en fran\u00e7ais\" width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BK5l7urmk68?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
