Burnout prevention and recovery can feel lighter when we’re surrounded by people who understand, listen, and remind us that we’re not alone.
To open a new chapter for our community as [Restory — Beyond burnout, together](https://joinrestory.com/?utm_source=luma), we’ll come together for an afternoon of arts, crafts, and connection, guided by Virag Barabas, our founder, and Monika Monko, visual artist and facilitator. This is an invitation to slow down, get creative, and bring out our inner child to play.
🎨 What to expect:
• Simple arts, crafts, and creative activities • Space to experiment and create at your own pace • A relaxed setting to share stories, chat, and get to know others naturally • All materials are provided, and no creative experience is needed – just come as you are • We’ll have some snacks to share; drinks are available at the bar at your own expense
💡 Good to know:
• We meet outside OT301, in front of the gate • Our events start on time; joining late isn’t possible • Be fully present and keep phones away during the event • Be kind and respectful of each other • Can’t make it anymore?
