[Mind Bath Classroom 順流教室 ] Shine Carving 光雕
Sculpting offers us a beautiful outlet to tap into our creativity, providing a unique chance to find peace and tranquility in our busy lives. Light sculptures, in particular, possess a magical quality; when crafted with care and positioned just right in sunlight, they create intricate patterns reminiscent of stunning stained glass. These works of art can bring a sense of calm and joy to our spirits, allowing us to appreciate the beauty around us.
透過雕刻的過程，可好好專注於藝術中，好好讓自己安靜片刻。光雕有不同類型的圖案，雕刻完在陽光下，就像玻璃彩繪一樣，晶凝通透，安撫心靈。

[Mind Bath Classroom 順流教室 ] Gong Bath 銅鑼浴
The Gong Bath primarily achieves a relaxation effect through the sound waves produced by gongs. During the process, participants can lie down and naturally focus to listen to the gong sound. Through sound vibrations, tension is released on a physical level, resulting in deep relaxation, a calm mind, and the release of stress.

Students often forget to empty their minds and live in the moment amid everyday pressures. Widely used in music therapy, music instruments such as handpans and crystal singing bowls can produce soft watery tones that help relieve stress, reduce anxiety and depression, and improve our physical and mental well-being. Various music therapy instruments will be placed next to the “Lift-you-up Cart”. Just play at will to clear your mind and enjoy a healing meditation session.

Mental Health First Aid Standard Course
This 12-hour course is designed to equip participants with knowledge and skills to help someone with an emergency mental health problem. The philosophy behind the course is that the risk of mental health crises, such as suicidal and self-harming actions, may be reduced with early intervention. If crises do arise, then mental health first aid action can be taken to reduce the harms. The MHFA course has been found to be effective at improving the course participants’ knowledge of mental disorders, reducing stigma and increasing confidence in offering help. Participants of the 12-hour MHFA course will receive a course manual and also a certificate issued by the Mental Health Association of Hong Kong at the completion of the course.
