Always switched on but when do you turn off?

You mind never really stops. University, work, social media, messages, expectations... Even when you are doing nothing, you usually stay 'switched on'. But what would happen if you managed to disconnect from all these stimuli for a while?

This is what you will discover during the Mentale Wasstraat (mental spring clean). Not by talking about it but by really experiencing it. Together with fellow students you'll take on a variety of different challenges such as:

Breathing exercises
Ice baths or standing on a bed of nails
Physical challenges
Moments of peace and connection
