Join Marja's LONDON 2024
Thursday 16th – Sunday 19th May
London is always amazing. Especially as Marja's guest, there are plenty of surprises that delight your body and mind.
See yourself and your life in a new light.
In the rapid changes of the world, the body and mind easily get stuck – then it's time to do something completely new! London refreshes and nurtures the mind by pampering us with colour and diversity. The city moves and ripples. Come to renew and unleash your creativity.
It's interesting how stress affects us. London is a city where a world of contrast, traditional and conservative customs coexists with a rapidly renewing, pulsating world of fashion and music, side by side. This contrast symbolizes the life of many, where work life and one's own personal life conflicts being different worlds.
We pass through two different Londons. During our trip, we will experience how old royal London supports everything new. You get to experience and sense how the need to create something new can be seen everywhere, even on the streets. One cannot help but admire the beauty of street dance and art.
The Method Putkisto program provides tools and ideas for stress relief. We will explore the levels of the new MP Fire Up programme as we move through London. We study the basics of movement and refine our own way of moving. Over the weekend, it will become apparent what power thoughts have and what the core message of the Fire Up program means in practice: Empower yourself from stress!
