About event
We invite you to a day of meditation, as we believe that silence shared together can be refreshing and supportive.
-Why participate and what to imagine?-
We will spend time together in the beautiful surroundings of the monastery, mostly meditating (see below). Most of the time the meditations will be guided and interspersed with breaks and walking. The style of meditation will be based on a mindfulness/contemplative tradition that aims to develop awareness of our inner and outer world, without the pressure to control/change and escape. The point is not to not think or suppress, but to let the moments flow as they happen and be with them. As a result, we have a greater capacity for the world and many other effects see: https://www.apa.org/news/podcasts/speaking-of-psychology/meditation (Developing awareness, acceptance and detachment from our experiences has been shown in research to be a huge support factor for mental resilience and flexibility.)
Important info: The half day will be held in the monastery premises, but the program will be secular, i.e. independent of faith/religion. And it is not dependent on previous meditation/mindfulness experience. It is therefore also for complete beginners. And it is open to all students, parents, workers and without the need to belong to Charles University. So don't hesitate to invite/bring along a friend, mother/father or partner and spend half a day together in a different regime than normal.
-Why do we organize something like this within the Network of Young Psychiatrists?-
Because we believe that caring for the health of others begins with ourselves, so that what we pass on, we ourselves live and use.
