ABOUT THE PROJECT
The project will provide participants with frames and tools for mindfulness-based stress reduction. The project guides participants to find new ways of personal development, self-acceptance, self-expression, and self-transformation through mindfulness-based stress reduction. During the project we will use a combination of meditation, body awareness, yoga, breathing techniques, dance and movement, and exploration of patterns of behavior, feeling, and action. We strongly believe that increased mindfulness can bring balance in the life of youth workers and their organizations.
The project consists of two stages:
Stage 1 in Riga, Latvia:
Participants will have the opportunity to embody the Path to Harmony in everything, including the environment we will be in, how we will live, how we will eat, and how we will communicate. The first stage of this training course will introduce participants with the basics of mindfulness, yoga, authentic movement, and art therapy methods & more. Facilitators have chosen to make the experience as beautiful and aesthetic, authentic and memorable as possible, therefore, some comforts will be compromised as a result.
Stage 2 in Tbilisi, Georgia:
The second stage will present the participants the opportunity to connect more with themselves and the nature around them since the training course will be conducted in an outdoor setting and practice all yoga & awareness skills gained during the first stage of the project.
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
