In this 10-week group programme (once a week, approx. 1.5 hours each session), you will learn ways to strengthen your own resources and promote your health holistically.

Mind-body medicine focuses on the interplay between the body, thoughts, emotions and behaviour. 

The following topics are covered:

• Behavioural change – establishing healthy routines in everyday life for the long term
• Stress and tension management – strategies for better coping with stress
• Wholefood nutrition – the basics and practical application of a balanced diet
• Habits of judgement and perception – recognising and changing one’s own thought patterns
