The workshop is based on the works of Vera Molnár and focuses on attention and awareness. Daniel J. Siegel's Awareness Wheel practice, which is used to develop the skills of directing and focusing attention necessary for a healthy mind, is combined with artistic work. After a walk through the museum, awareness of the senses, body and mind and attention to the environment are expanded, while the discoveries are transferred to paper with art therapy tools.
