Who It Is For

Our educational leave is intended for professionals in education and the social sector, particularly teachers, social workers and early childhood educators. These professional groups often face high levels of stress and need strategies to strengthen their mental and physical health.

Programme Structure

1. Systemic and Peer Counselling

This module gives participants the opportunity to reflect on themselves in their professional roles. Systemic questions and techniques bring individual challenges and potential into focus. The aim is to develop a better understanding of one’s own position within the professional field and identify possible changes that support self-care.

2. Mindful Physical Training

Physical training includes martial arts and fitness exercises designed to promote stability and physical well-being. Mindful movements and breathing techniques help participants come into the present moment and improve their body awareness. This training supports not only physical fitness but also mental strength and resilience.

Lasting Benefits for Working Life

Combining the two modules creates synergies. Physical activity supports reflection on personal challenges, giving participants a holistic approach to self-care. Bringing mental and physical work together encourages new perspectives and possibilities for action.
