Implementation Day 5

Day 5 – Monday, February 23

Written by the training team 🇪🇺

Halfway through the project, and with that, a day that takes place outside of the activity room. Participants made their way to the Danube River, as the element of the activities was of "water" and therefore the idea of "flow".

After arriving at the U-bahn station "Donauinsel" and making their way down to the grassy areas next to the river, the first activity involved flow-based exercises by participant Mariam from Georgia.

With mini movements with arms, jumping, legs and more, this allowed us to get to the main activity, which was a Meditative flow walk, specifically to take place alone by each participant.

Participants were encouraged to move slowly, observe the sound of water, including reflections, atmosphere and the water. The guiding questions were as follows –

•⁠ What emotions feel present in me right now?

•⁠ ⁠Where in my life do I feel flow?

•⁠ ⁠Where do I feel resistance or stuckness?

•⁠ ⁠What does the water remind me about change, letting go, or softness?

With a reflection session taking place right after, participants, for the rest of the day, were free to explore Vienna, but also had a task to take a photo of something that represents them.
