Main info
Take a moment to stop.
So you can listen.
To your heart.
And to mine.
Hear. Me. Out.
Hear. Yourself. Out.
Heart.
Our society is mostly ratio-oriented. From early childhood, we are expected to make rational decisions. In school, we are being trained for a career path long before we are even able to see what we would like to do in our life. Activities like meditation, listening to one intuition, understanding our emotions, etc. are not part of a regular school curriculum.
If youth workers support youngsters in understanding themselves and creating a healthy approach towards regular emotional hygiene, we are raising a young generation that is living in less stress, more aligned with themselves, making more educated choices, following their path calmly and with a bigger persistence.
That’s what we will focus on in Hear(meou)t.
VISION: heart
GOAL: Equip youth workers with specific methods that will allow them to support youngsters in self-discovery journeys and listen to their hearts.
OBJECTIVES:
- To bring 24 youth workers to an activity.
- To educate youth workers in the usage of following methods: systemic work, nature, mindfulness, meditation.
- Record at least 5+ mediation we are going to use during the activity, and make them available online so they can be reused.
- Implement 8 local activities promoting personal self-discovery journey.
You will come home equipped with:
- 4 different methods you can apply with your youngsters: systemic work, nature, mindfulness, and meditation
- 5+ recorded mediation
- better connection with your intuition
- perception what is important in life not only through Material lenses, but also through Lens of Relationship, Mental state, and Spirit.
Systemic work can be used for management, coaching, as well as therapy. It is mostly working slowly, but effectively, and brings a real transition to life.

Learning Process & Programme
* This is a plan but it will most probably change according the current needs of the group. Thus, you have an idea what is coming, but nothing is written in stone.
- Program is fully vegetarian
- Program follows alcohol free policy
- You are expected to attend all sessions. If you don’t feel well, it is ok, but let organizers know timely you won’t join.
- You will be helping with keeping the venue clean for each other.
We will give up our phones and lock them in a box. And let them be. So we can truly be with ourselves and others. Don’t worry, if there will be great need to make a phone-call, it will still be possible. But we highly recommend you come with a mindset of cutting yourself off from work, emails, family, etc. Fully. For your own benefit.
Disclaimer:
DISCONNECTION is a method that is being developed by INspire in cooperation with Roes (Greece), and New Wellness (Italy). If people disconnect from ICT (information and communication technologies like phones, computers, internet, etc.), participants are losing one of the most accessible run-away strategies. Whenever facing unpleasant feelings, fear, boredom, etc., people tend to hide in their phones or computers to run away from anything that is threatening. By giving up on their ICTs, participants will have an unique opportunity – which might be unpleasant from the beginning but starts to be very pleasant and beneficial soon – to face anything that is happening inside of them. They will see it and be with it. As there will be no barrier of phones, also creating interpersonal relationships will become easier as talking with others and creating meaningful things together will be the main strategy for not to be bored.
SYSTEMIC WORK is a method that supports bringing the human subconscious into awareness, therefore giving face and shape to the unheard voice of intuition inside of people.
MEDITATION. Striped by its religious extras, it is scientifically proven that meditation techniques reduce stress and anxiety, support emotional health, enhance self-awareness, lengthen attention span, generate kindness and generosity, help to fight addiction, help to control pain, and help the body. It supports people with getting to know themselves and becoming more independent of outside influences including manipulation.
In NATURE, we are getting back to our biological core, stripped out of the influence of society which is the main source of pain between our participants. It is proven that being in nature brings us energy, strengthens our immune system, enhances creativity, restores focus, makes us feel better, and generally helps us to reconnect with ourselves.
MINDFULNESS is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us.

Trainer
I am a facilitator and guide on a journey called life, cultivating the embodiment of a Heart-Centered approach in every moment.
This approach involves creating a space for profound connections and authentic learning experiences. It extends beyond the simple passing on information and it involves the nurturing of individuals’ well-being throughout the learning journey.
The main methods I bring to my work include embodiment, systemic work, mindfulness, meditation, and nature-based activities.
In addition to my role as an non-formal educator, I serve as an Emotional Release Facilitator, offering 1:1 sessions with a healing-oriented approach. It’s profound method providing a safe space for individuals to explore and release emotions, contributing to their overall well-being and stepping into full potential of individual.

From studying French language and literature to Erasmus+ cooking. Long story short, I like cooking more 🙂
Despite being self-taught, I can share with you my experiences in the kitchen, including several years working in a restaurant. My method is simple – everyone can cook 🙂
I believe that a sustainable lifestyle is not a matter of being perfect in every sense but implementing small steps into your everyday life. During this project, you will have a chance to experience many of these little steps and see which one is working for you. I will be there to support you!
