The Sun in the Age project’s partnership has already developed in English, the 1st result which is a methodology and a comprehensive guide to mindfulness practices across several European countries. The document is divided into several sections, including theoretical background and scientific basis, good practices, case studies, and a syllabus. Soon the document will be available online in English and also in partners’ national languages.
The section on good practices discusses specific mindfulness techniques that have been implemented in each country, including Lithuania, Spain, Italy, Germany, Greece, the Republic of North Macedonia, and Poland. Each country has its own unique approach to mindfulness, with practices ranging from “Journey into Mindfulness” in Lithuania to “UNBOX HAPPINESS – Mindful Eating” in Greece.
When it comes to Greece, various practices related to holistic well-being have gained recognition and popularity. Mindfulness, in particular, has become more prevalent in schools, businesses, and private organizations. Some of the most popular mindfulness practices in Greece include Mindfulness 360 for stress reduction, UNBOX HAPPINESS for mindful eating, and Mindfulness Institute Lab for a 12-day meditation program.
The case studies section provides in-depth examples of real-world applications of mindfulness practices in each country. These case studies offer insight into how mindfulness has been implemented across different cultures and how it has had a positive impact on individuals and communities. For Greece, there are two case studies that offer a glimpse into the ways in which mindfulness is employed. The first case study features an interview with Vassiliki Kougia, who provides insight into how mindfulness practices have been used in her work. The second case study is an interview with Stelios Zografidis and examines the role of mindfulness working specifically with elders in vulnerable situations.
In short, the document serves as a comprehensive guide to mindfulness practices across several European countries. It offers insight into the differences and similarities between mindfulness practices in various cultures and provides concrete examples of how these practices have been implemented in real-world scenarios. Whether you are looking to incorporate mindfulness into your school, business, or personal life, this document provides a wealth of valuable information and resources.
