“The brain operates optimally when it toggles between focus and unfocus, allowing us to develop resilience, enhance creativity, and make better decisions.” – Srini Pillay, neuro-psychiater en onderzoeker.

Our working life consists of full agendas, deadlines, targets and new points on the horizon aimed at improvement and growth. It’s all about how we can be even more productive. But the rising figures of absenteeism and burn-outs show that the balance between rest and productivity is still a long way off.

What if the power of radical rest is just as effective as the power of action and effort? How do you apply that in a society where rest is only linked to vacation and not work? What if there was a smarter way to use rest in your daily life to be more effective and achieve more lasting results?

This workshop is an experience in which Jurko uniquely combines an informative TED talk, a concert, a nap and a relaxing yoga class.

You’ll experience for yourself what it means when you make the switch from the overactive fight-or-flight system to the often under-used rest mode. From there, you’ll learn to strengthen your creativity and your ability to solve problems. All this in a workshop in which you are resting 75% of the time.
