Training Course: "Where is my balance?" in Georgia

Training Course: "Where is my balance?"
7-16 September 2022 | Manglisi, Georgia

The project "Where is my balance?” will provide participants frames and tools of mindfulness-based stress reduction.
Stress is one of the world’s largest health problems, leading to many health problems and unfortunately even to radicalization, discrimination and violence.

In order to avoid this, through this project we would like to become more aware of ourselves and our lives, own fundamental values, views, personal attitudes, decisions and actions. Since the outbreak of COVID19 levels of stress and anxiety have risen substantially. The project guides participants to find new ways of personal development, self-acceptance, self-expression and self-transformation through mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). MBSR uses a combination of meditation, body awareness, yoga, breathing techniques, massage and exploration of patterns of behavior, thinking, feeling and action.

The course will be hosted in a camping area in the beautiful nature of Manglisi, far away from the overwhelming cities, stressful environments, avoiding technology and external distractions. Often we escape in a world of online “likes” and “comments” on Facebook, Instagram, other social media networks, or in a world of fun, alcohol and drugs, trying to fulfill deeper needs by superficial activities. Spending time in nature can help relieve stress and anxiety, improve your mood, and boost feelings of happiness and wellbeing.
