Activity description
PÖZ.E is a 10-minute micro musical and sensory experience offered directly at the workplace.
An artist from Baratanga plays the handpan, an instrument known for its soothing sounds, to offer participants a brief musical and mental break.
What does it impact ?
- Promoting wellbeing : The soothing handpan music helps participants relax, reduce stress, and regain focus — even during a busy day.
- Strengthening communication and sense of belonging : Experiencing this calm and shared moment creates a collective space that strengthens bonds among colleagues or within teams.
What should the organizer prepare ?
- Provide a quiet and suitable space, ideally for about 10 people per session.
- Inform participants in advance about the short musical break — a pressure-free and judgment-free moment of relaxation.
- Choose a suitable time slot: a calm moment in the day, with no noisy activities right before or after.
How to achieve our goals on the big day ?
- Start with a short introduction to explain the purpose of this break, its intention, and invite everyone to let go.
- Encourage participants to sit comfortably, close their eyes if they wish, and take a few deep breaths before the session starts.
- After the performance, allow 30–60 seconds of silence before resuming activities to fully absorb the calming effect.
- If appropriate, offer a short sharing moment afterward to strengthen the collective connection — impressions, feelings, sense of calm, etc.
- Optional: Combine PÖZ.E with guided breathing or a short meditation session for deeper relaxation.
When is the right context for this activity ?
- During high-stress days: exams, project deliveries, intense periods, etc.
- After a tense meeting or situation, to relax the atmosphere and restore positive energy.
- At the start of the day, to promote focus and a calm beginning.
- At the end of the day, to close the moment and leave with a clear mind.
Additional benefits
- No musical skills are required from participants — everyone can enjoy the experience.
- Can be easily integrated into an existing schedule, requiring only a 10-minute time slot.
- Creates a memorable and unique experience; a refreshing and out-of-the-ordinary break.
