Mindboom is an art festival that actively connects the healing energy of art with the rising global interest in meditation. It offers modern individuals an opportunity to observe and ease their own inner conflicts and tensions. In response to the prolonged pandemic and its impact on human connections, Mind Boom 2022 is dedicated to restoring lost bonds and strengthening social solidarity. This year’s theme—“Connection, Empathy, Solidarity”—emphasizes the power of empathy, the ability to see the world through another’s eyes, as a means to bridge divisions in society. The festival brings together 15 artists, researchers, meditation practitioners, and counselors from various fields, creating a space where individuals from diverse walks of life can connect, empathize, and build solidarity.
