01
Aromatherapy
We will learn and taste three aromas on special points of the body like neck, ears and hands. We will use lavender (chill out), orange (lit up) and peppermint (breath). A brief explanation about how nature smells connect directly with our brain and benefits.
02
Meditation sessiones
We will incorporate meditation as a tool for self-observation of the state of the mind. We use Anapana meditation observing the natural breathing in the framework of the body understanding the connection between mind and body.
03
Self-care basics
We will provide self-care tools that can be easily practiced on a daily routine. This is focused on addressing the mobility and stress management, especially for people who tend to work sedentary. It is based on synchronized movement, yoga, and breathing exercises.
04
Shape of my heart. Painting
We talk about basic and common emotions, but our way of feeling them is unique. This workshop aims for participants to shape their emotions by assigning them visual properties through painting. Participant identifies, visualizes and contacts the emotion, without losing sight of the security and support of the materials themselves.
05
Mindful-eating Cocoa
We will take the original exotic fruit, now cultivated around Colombia. We will discover what is the part of the plant used to make chocolate. Then, we will taste the chocolate drink like it is prepared inside the Colombian families, especially in cold weather. Be aware of smell and flavor
08
Collage the world
This workshop allows participants to recognize and accept their perceptions of the world, through triggering images. Saying what we see and sharing different perceptions increase self-listening and empathy and self-kindness. This prepares them for the creation of a layered image, in which accepted judgments turn into experimentation and surprise.
07
Discover body drawing
This workshop seeks to amplify the usual range of movement of the body. The participants will activate different parts usually abandoned due to the patterns of everyday life. They will become aware of the real dimensions of the body, limbs and central structures through long movements that leave a mark.
