A deep-healing solution for preventing burnout and strengthening resilience
Overview
At the time when first-half targets and accumulated fatigue push job stress to its peak, this advanced expressive arts program links neuroscience and positive psychology (the PERMA model) to support deep relaxation and recovery.

A relationship-restoring program that prevents conflicts between departments and strengthens communication as projects and collaboration get fully under way in the second half.
In pairs or small groups, participants appreciate and encourage one another’s ‘mind tables’ through the PuKaShi activity (express with food, capture it with a camera, keep it as a poem), building non-verbal bonds.
