Science of Meditation & Nervous System Regulation 🧘♂️✨
About the Workshop 🧠✨
When we think about longevity, we often focus on nutrition, movement, sleep, or the latest health technologies. Yet beneath all of these lies the system that influences how we respond to stress, recover from challenges, and create lasting health: the nervous system.
A regulated nervous system allows the body to repair, adapt, and restore itself. It supports emotional resilience, cognitive function, healthy relationships, and physical wellbeing. When we remain in chronic survival mode, even the healthiest habits cannot fully unfold their potential.
Meditation is one of the most widely used and researched practices for supporting this process. Decades of scientific research demonstrate its positive effects on the brain, stress physiology, emotional regulation, immune function, and healthy aging. Together, meditation and nervous system regulation provide a practical and evidence-based approach to cultivating resilience from the inside out. 🌿
This workshop brings together both perspectives. Combining neuroscience, the latest meditation research, and embodied practice, you will gain both a scientific understanding and a vivid experience of what true regulation feels like.

Speakers 👥
Sabrina Gritzmacher
Sabrina specializes in Nervous System Health and is dedicated to helping people reconnect with themselves through nervous system regulation.
Before stepping into the field of wellbeing, Sabrina spent over a decade living and working in New York City. Her international career in business gave her firsthand experience of the fast pace, constant pressure, and high-performance culture that shape modern life. These experiences deepened her understanding of stress and ultimately inspired her to explore a different approach to health, leadership, and human potential. Her own journey through grief, chronic stress, and burnout became the catalyst for discovering the profound impact of nervous system regulation.✨
Through workshops, retreats, and corporate programs, Sabrina supports individuals and organizations in creating lasting change from the inside out.
Dr. Max Keilbach
Max has been practicing meditation since his early youth. His professional journey has taken him from farm work to scientific research, the music industry, and real estate, while years of travel and study, particularly in India, deepened his exploration of contemplative traditions.
Driven by a passion for making meditation accessible and relevant in today’s world, he founded Stille Mitte, an institute dedicated to meditation, inner development, and scientific dialogue. The institute offers a space where people can reconnect with themselves through meditation while fostering a meaningful exchange between contemplative traditions and modern science. During this workshop, Max shares the latest scientific insights into meditation, helping participants understand why it remains one of the most effective practices for cultivating resilience, wellbeing, and longevity.🌟
