From March to the end of June we are running the Island of Calm workshops as part of a program implemented by the Giganci Foundation.The classes are aimed at young people on the autism spectrum and their parents and caregivers, creating a space for joint rest, calming and building well-being.
The workshops are based on elements of Qigong practice – the Chinese art of working with the body, breath and mindfulness. Through gentle movement, breathing exercises and relaxation techniques, participants develop skills that support daily functioning and emotional regulation.
