Experimenteel: Music therapy, Art therapy, Mindfulness Meditation
Participants will sequentially receive three interventions: music therapy, art therapy, and mindfulness meditation. The interventions will be implemented in a low-threshold drop-in center for people experiencing homelessness in Switzerland. Feasibility and acceptability of implementing these interventions in a real-life setting will be evaluated. |
The music therapy sessions will offer sensory workshops of immersive musical listening, digital and acoustic music creation and shared improvised music. Art therapy sessions will include activities combining painting, modeling, and movement based on an initial theme. Mindfulness meditation sessions will involve foundational practices designed to enhance participants' ability to focus attention on a chosen object, such as the breath, while observing when the mind wanders and gently bringing attention back to the object of focus. |
