Rest and Resilience Station: Cultivating Inner Growth
for Outer Change
In the rush of modern work culture, rest is often overlooked, and resilience is reduced to survival. But what if true strength lies in stillness?
Join us for a unique 5-hour workshop in Helsinki, where we will explore how resting deeply and reconnecting with the wisdom of our bodies can foster inner growth that sparks lasting outer change.
Drawing on the Inner Development Goals (IDGs), this immersive session will introduce practices that calm the nervous system, build resilience, and open new ways of knowing through the body. Led by Zeynep Falay von Flittner, a pioneering Transition Design expert, and Anni Rissanen, an experienced somatic practitioner, the workshop offers a powerful blend of regenerative leadership, eco-somatic practices, and embodied wisdom.
Curious to know how rest can become the foundation of resilience? Ready to unlock deeper, more intuitive ways of understanding the world? Come join us at the Rest and Resilience Station – a journey that begins within and radiates outwards.
