Prior to the workshop led by clinical psychologist and expressive art therapist Suzi Amado, participants tour the On the Spot: Panoramic Gaze on Istanbul, a History with a guide. In the workshop, participants learn an approach to "panoramically look within themselves" and explore their inner worlds as if they are wandering in a city that arouses their curiosity or excitement. After discussing features related to mindfulness, participants then learn mindfulness and meditation practices that they can use in their daily lives.

The shrines that created the glory of Constantinople through their lavish beauty were also repositories of precious relics and thus sources of healing.
Beliefs surrounding illness and healing in Byzantium stem from the myths, astrology, and magic practiced around the Mediterranean by Jews, Egyptians, Mesopotamians, and Greeks.
The Greek god Apollo and his son Asklepios presided over the realm of medicine and healing. Apollo was also the god of light and sun, whose solar symbolism and association with medicine would become linked to Christ the Physician, and the resurrected.
