Our week in Cercedilla, Spain, can be summed up in one word: balance. It was a unique opportunity to learn about the crucial connection between our minds and bodies while connecting with incredible people from all over Europe. This program was a powerful reminder that well-being is a holistic practice.
Throughout the week, we explored vital topics like habit management, nutrition, and mindful eating. The workshops gave us the tools to understand how our bodies work and how media influences our body image. What made the experience so special was putting this knowledge into action. From reflective hikes on scenic mountain trails to calming breathing and meditation sessions, we learned by doing.
Beyond the workshops, the friendships we built was the heart of the experience. During our free time, we bonded over games on the football pitch and table tennis, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Sharing traditional Spanish food and learning about each other’s cultures strengthened our sense of a shared European identity. We left not only with a better understanding of ourselves but also as part of a new international family, inspired to live healthier, more mindful lives.
