Not rest understood as "sitting still," but deep rest, the kind that truly allows the body and mind to regenerate. Do you know that feeling of constant alertness, as if the brain could never shut off? Or that profound tiredness that doesn't go away even after eight hours of sleep, or after a weekend break? Here's the question we'll start with: How is it possible to be tired even when we stop? Why doesn't rest work anymore? What happens to our nervous system, our brain, and accumulated stress? If this topic resonates with you—if you experience stress, mental fatigue, or difficulty switching off— or simply want to meditate together, this meeting is for you.

Are you there or the image that others expect? What do you do to please, to feel accepted? Compromises are necessary, of course. But not all of life can become a pursuit of other people's dreams. This series of meetings is a simple and essential invitation: to reconnect, through small moments of slowness, simplicity, listening, care, and daily meditation. A space to be inspired, to exchange ideas, and to start (or end) the day with greater presence. Because meeting is not a luxury, but an act of care: it reduces stress, brings clarity, improves the quality of life, and brings you back to a playful dimension. And it only takes a few minutes a day. LEARN MORE 📖 The book "He who stops finds himself.
