We are a married couple (Marcin - addiction psychotherapy specialist, Marta - psychologist). We are committed to improving the quality of life of young people and adults. Mental health is hard to come by these days. The rush of life and the culture that promotes "More, faster, better" do not help in this. We want to create an innovative place in the Bieszczady Mountains that will support the recovery of mental health.

We plan to conduct cyclical workshops during which participants will have the opportunity to calm down, learn about their emotions and how to deal with them, learn to name their needs, and participate in Social Skills Training. A separate block of classes will be devoted to the impact of excessive stress on the functioning of the body and constructive ways of dealing with it. In addition to taking care of mental health and developing social skills, participants will take part in joint walks, running trainings and other sports activities. We want to show workshop participants how to take care of the whole - mental, physical and social health.

The location is also not accidental. We believe that silence and closeness to nature have a positive effect on the healing process, getting to know yourself and your emotions.

WHO WE ARE?

WHAT DO WE COLLECT FUNDS FOR?

We took out a mortgage for the purchase of two plots of land in Rybne (we plan to build houses on one, and we will build a building for workshops on the other), but we do not have the funds to finalize the investment.

Of course, we will repay the loan on our own. Funds are needed for:

- leveling the area of the smaller plot for a workshop room (on the larger plot we have already prepared "shelves" for houses);

- fence (as there are bears in the area);

- building 4 wooden houses;

- construction of a building for workshops;

- equipping the houses and the workshop building with basic equipment.
