Art and Mental Health Retreat Training (2023)
The 8-day retreat training held in Komarice, Czech Republic was dedicated to young artists, facilitators, and social and youth workers focusing on the notion of mental balance. The program introduced different art-based methods with the aim of working towards a more sustainable, stress-free society. During this training, participants had the chance to try out different embodied artistic practices for improving their own mental balance. This experience aims to equip participants with useful and easy-to-adapt tools that can be introduced to their own general practice. The retreat training provided by Hungarian and Slovak experts introduced a holistic approach inspired by various performing art sectors (dance, theatre and music) as well as other fields such as yoga, breathing techniques and art therapy. The training aims to promote the importance of mental balance and well-being both in one’s professional and personal life.
