BEYOND SILENCE: THE DYNAMIC MEDITATION WORKSHOP BEGINS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AS PART OF THE RIATTIVAMENTI PROJECT: TRADITIONAL TRADES AND YOUTH PARTICIPATION TO REVITALIZE THE MAIRA VALLEY

The meditation workshop, designed for young people, aims to offer a real space for decompression in a world that moves too fast. Between constant notifications, the pressure of study or work, and the constant feeling of having to “perform at one’s best,” finding a moment for oneself has become fundamental.

It is from this awareness that the Meditation Workshop was born, a space designed by and for young people, where meditation is not stillness, but a living, dynamic, and experiential experience.

Why dynamic meditation?

To find oneself, it is not only necessary to remain still. The body is our primary channel of expression and the most natural starting point for regaining balance.

In the workshop, awareness is cultivated through four fundamental pillars: Conscious movement, to release accumulated tension; Free and expressive dance as a tool for active meditation; Breathwork, a bridge between mind and body; and Presence (Mindfulness in action), with the goal of grounding oneself in the here and now, developing a firm yet light mental presence.

“Meditation is not about turning off thoughts, but learning to dance with them without being overwhelmed.”

Participating in the workshop means giving oneself a space for total decompression, free from competition or expectations.

The meditation workshop includes 5 meetings:

Saturday, August 1 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Marmora

Saturday, August 29 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Marmora
