Conducted via Zoom or live-stream.

How has the prevalence and reliance on social media changed the behaviour of our young people and what are the consequences on their mental health. How do we live with meaning in an age of digitization.

Join Maria de Leon Castillejo to look at:
The danger of not being coherent with your true self.
How to build an authentic and impactful personal ‘brand’.
The difference between an influencer and a referencer.

And discover the importance of the practice of meditation in a path that leads to being connected with the centre of your being and to live a life of authenticity.
