From November 16-21, 2025, as part of this year’s EnergaCAMERIMAGE Festival in Toruń, a special accompanying event will take place - Mindfulness Workshops led by Magda Mola, featuring a guest performance by Mantra Chillout.
The sessions will be held at 9:00 AM in the CKK Jordanki Conference Room.
This initiative is open to all festival participants - filmmakers, students, artists, and visitors - who wish to pause for a moment amid the festival’s creative bustle and find a space for inner peace.
The workshops aim to restore balance between the intensity of the cinematic world and the need to rejuvenate body and mind. Participants will experience simple breathing techniques, mindfulness practices with sound, and short meditation sessions.
Magda Mola - A yoga and meditation instructor from Toruń, author of the book Meditation. Easier Than You Think, and founder of the Mantra Time Meditation Studio. - will lead the sessions in the spirit of a holistic approach to wellbeing, combining relaxation with creative self-discovery. Each participant will be welcomed with an energizing ginger-herbal shot.
A unique musical atmosphere will be provided by Mantra Chillout, a group specializing in ethereal, ambient sounds inspired by Eastern culture. Their presence will add a meditative dimension to the workshops, creating a space conducive to calm and reflection.
The sessions will focus mainly on breathing, sound, and relaxation techniques rather than physical activity, so no sportswear is required. Mats will be provided for participants’ comfort.
