To be honest, I expected training about leadership as you would probably expect when the name for this Erasmus training was Heartful Leader. Well, the training wasn’t about leadership in the way you usually imagine when we connect this word to politics or management. This training showed us how to be in touch with our emotions and bodies. It was extremely playful, interactive and mindful and the surrounding greenery and supportive group definitely helped us to relax and disconnect from special media (also there was slow wifi and weak signal). We explored structures for improvisation, which for me was quite a new concept. I felt like I could unwind my creativity and play just like I used to when I was a kid.

We were accommodated in a reconstructed barn on an organic farm in Frankolovo. During the whole training, we enjoyed delicious and healthy vegan and vegetarian food. I especially loved the fact we had fresh homemade bread every day!
