Sensing closely, doing less, taking time for oneself – Otium as a cultural and self-experiencing technique in current course offers of mindfulness and deceleration
By the ethnography of courses offered in a differentiated relaxation and mindfulness market, in which otium is taught in various formats (weekly, compact courses), using various techniques (mindfulness meditation, forest bathing, stay at a monastery), I regarded with an actor-centered perspective the phenomenon of 'otium courses' against the background of current social developments. In the context of the courses, otium is conceived as a cultural and self-experiencing technique, which should enable the reflection on and handling of experiences of time, work and health.
