The potential of different mind-body interventions to reduce aggressive behaviors, alleviate mood disorders, and even improve academic achievements is well documented. Accordingly, more and more universities and schools provide their students and staff with such programs, supporting their physical and mental well-being.

What's in it?

With a focus on embodied learning, Mind-Set students' well-being programs integrate mindfulness, martial arts, and neuroscientific theory through a model developed specifically for this purpose. This model was presented in academic conferences and used in different academic programs, including the Erasmus University College (Engaged Citizenship Program, Personal Development Track, and more), the Erasmus University's student well-being program, the Bildung climate school, Amsterdam VU PMT skill course, and others.​​​​​​

How does it work?

The program uniquely integrates neuroscientific theory, mindfulness, embodied practices, and applied methodologies (including martial-arts-derived principles) to create durable behavioral change. 

​​The program includes 6 sessions:

• Theoretical framework and introduction.

• Four sessions that are based on the model behind this program, which analyzes our mental well-being according to four main domains. 

• A summary and personal assessment.​

Using martial arts elements, you will learn practical tools to regulate your emotional state, support your social interactions, and improve your cognitive skills. You will think, sweat, breathe, and importantly, be aware.
