The next Get Engaged Alumni Workshop will spotlight Sanskriti Shrestha, 2023 Get Engaged Alumna, who will lead a workshop titled: Breath, Body, and Beyond: A Psychosomatic Approach to Everyday Resilience.
This workshop explores the powerful connection between mind and body as a gateway to everyday well-being. It provides practical, ready-to-use tools, including the power of breath and other mindfulness techniques, that help regulate everyday stress and create a deeper connection to ourselves. This space is an invitation to reconnect with our inner core and to gain insight into how our physiological responses shape our emotional experiences. In a world where we are constantly flitting from point A to point B, this workshop offers a gentle pause to reflect, breathe, and realign with what truly matters.
Sanskriti Shrestha is a senior Arts and Humanities student at Bard College Berlin, originally from Nepal. Alongside working as a freelance yoga teacher and meditation therapist, she is an advocate for disability awareness and works around the topics of body awareness, meditation, and somatic healing. With a keen interest in culture and linguistic anthropology, she had participated in the Get Engaged conference 2023 representing her language project that aimed at teaching German to refugees in Berlin. She believes in spirituality as a way of building resilience, of fostering connection, and in a world where we need that more than ever, a way of cultivating the understanding of what it truly means to be human.
