ergosum
Mental health. It seems to be more than necessary as the COVID pandemic shed light on the extent to which mental health issues may be impacting us. According to Mind.org, 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem of some kind each year in England. However, a major obstacle lies in the accessibility of mental health. Waiting lines for psychologists can last several months in many countries in Europe. With prices ranging from 65€ to 200€ in some European countries for an hour long therapy, mental health can be considered as a luxury service. With ergosum, we are wishing to create a safe space where one can take time to reflect on themselves, at an affordable price and in safe company. what is ergosum? ergo sum Latin. Therefore I am an experience combining occidental and oriental approaches and alternative medicine (through art, experiences in nature, body movement...) to offer: a pause to breathe, to relax with yoga, mindfulness exercices and excursions in Swiss landscapes an ephemeral place to connect with yourself to listen to your emotions, meet your deep desire and reflect on your future potential through our artistic activities and personal development workshops a place to talk with our volunteer certified professionals and share thoughts, experiences, feelings with the group https://ergosumexperience.wixsite.com/ergosum We are launching this crowdfunding campaign for the pilot version of the ergosum project, designed in collaboration with our volunteering certified partners and Reiki master. It will take place in Swiss nature, on the last weekend of August. who are we?
