True Essence aimed to open up a safe space for the authenticity, vulnerability and integrity of young people. A place to heal their roots and touch upon the best version of themselves. Encourage them to live their innermost essence, their true call, to discover and share their gifts. For the world needs such people: awakened, conscious and empathic individuals, able and willing to contribute to building a strong, connected, healthy, respectful and sustainable human community. It introduced a holistic, body-based and soul-oriented approach to youth work, thus strengthening the psychophysical health and well-being of young people, and encouraging them to find a meaningful role in creating our common reality. Within the project we have implemented an international learning mobility, which promoted the personal growth and professional development of participating youth workers who have: • acquired experience and key skills on how to create a safe and inclusive space; • embarked on a stunning journey of discovering the body's own resources and wisdom, and have been encouraged to explore our body's emotional intelligence and use of somatic practices when working with youth; • been inspired to express themselves through art and to use different artistic materials and their psycho-dynamic properties; • been invited towards in-depth self-exploration, to meet and integrate their shadows and to better understand the mechanisms of the shadow; • increased their level of empathy and resilience; • been called towards greater sustainability both at interpersonal relations and in relation to nature; • gained skills on how to support young people in an effective and holistic way.
