📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

!!! Please be aware that this is not an ESC project but a short term Traning Course!!! In a sea of distractions of today's world, we often lose touch with our bodies, thoughts, and emotions. They become distant strangers who are hard to understand. But this is not how we are designed to live. Feeling good in life is not about cutting off unpleasant emotions or neglecting our body. It is about becoming friends with them. In this journey, we will use mindfulness, meditation and holistic movement techniques to get closer to ourselves. To discover background thoughts and emotions that in our lives without us even noticing. And to explore our body which stores all of these feelings. Because only when we give them attention and welcome them in our life, harmony comes into our life experience.
