WiseMotion - Stress resilience and human flourishing through creative movement meditation

​Location: Ceremony Room

​This session explores how emotions are rooted in the body and how modern, fast‑paced, screen‑heavy lifestyles disconnect us from the sensory awareness needed to process them. Through creative and meditative movement, participants learn to reconnect with bodily signals, regulate emotions, and support mental wellbeing. Drawing on research in neuroscience and expressive therapies, the session highlights how practices such as dance, authentic movement, and movement meditation can prevent mood disorders, enhance stress resilience, and strengthen the brain–body connection. Insights from EEG studies reveal how experienced movers and observers engage distinct neural pathways, and how watching meditative movement can slow physiological rhythms and reduce stress. During the WiseMotion Experience at Davos, attendees engage in a 20‑minute movement meditation followed by a neuroscience‑based explanation of how such practices foster flourishing. Led by neuroscientist Dr. Hanna Poikonen, the workshop offers an accessible, evidence‑based approach suitable for all backgrounds.
