Be Yourself: Mental Women Wellbeing (Vienna, Austria)
During the workshop, our primary focus was on stress and emotional balance, with a keen understanding of the potential reasons that might lead migrant women to experience feelings of being lost and depressed in a new country. This is particularly relevant in societies where open-mindedness is still a work in progress.
"Are you feeling lost or stressed in a new country? Are you struggling to discover equilibrium and inner inspiration?" These were the issues we aimed to address.
Our team of expert coaches provided a range of strategies to tackle the challenges mentioned above and to find that much-needed inner inspiration. Participants were encouraged to engage with these strategies, facilitating the journey of learning and personal growth within a supportive community. This step marked the commencement of a mindful approach to self-healing and the creation of a harmonious balance.
The workshop was designed holistically, incorporating elements of movement to promote both physical and mental well-being. Attendees were recommended to wear comfortable clothing in order to fully immerse themselves in these activities.
