“Three Treasures,” rooted in the holistic Taoist philosophy of nurturing body, mind, and soul, is an innovative training course designed for youth workers experiencing the early signs of burnout. It also supports the development of their European Training System (ETS) competencies and expands their ability to work creatively with young people, especially those facing mental health challenges.
Taking place at the unique Three Treasures Valley youth and martial arts center in rural Hungary – a community-led space known for its sustainability, volunteer-based operation, and deep commitment to embodied leadership – this training invites participants to immerse themselves in the daily practices and theory behind the center’s work, while developing their own resilience tools.
Core Practices:
At the heart of the program are the Bang Stick and Chi Kung (Qigong) techniques – powerful, accessible body-based practices that support grounding, energy flow, self-regulation, and emotional balance. These methods help participants become more aware of their inner state, connect to their physical and emotional bodies, and find presence even in the most challenging moments of youth work.
Participants will also be introduced to the Five Elements System, a several-thousand-year-old Taoist framework that guides individuals to create harmony both within themselves and with the world around them. In this view, personal well-being is not just an individual matter – it’s the result of balanced interaction between the internal world and external forces.
Through these methods, participants will explore how to translate deep awareness into practical approaches for youth engagement, focusing on Gen Z’s needs in areas like mental health, identity, and digital presence.

About the Five Elements System:
The Five Elements – Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water – represent qualities of energy, emotion, and interaction that exist in all aspects of life. Participants will explore:
The individual level: understanding one's own motivations, talents, challenges, and potential for self-harmony
The interpersonal level: applying awareness to relationships, daily life, and youth work situations
The effectiveness of the system lies in its cyclical understanding of change, showing how to nurture, regulate, or guide a situation using elemental interactions. When embodied through movement, breath, and simple visualization, the Five Elements become living tools for self-care and connection.

ABOUT
Origó Műhely - Origo Workshop was established in 2021 by freelancer trainers coming from various areas - social work, youth work, business - and rich expertize done in the field of community and personal development. The ars poetica of the workshop is to support individuals and teams in finding joy and centerdness even in times of turmoils.
The need of the establishment came from the covid pandemic and its impacts on helping professionals - youth workers, social workers, psychologists and on their target groups: young people with fewer opportunities. The prolonged emergency situation caused an increased level of exhaustion, anxiety and in loss of professional and personal motivation.
The founders of OM aimed to create projects which support helping professionals and their young target groups to increase their well-being.
Our thematic approach is to provide a space for resilience professionals at European level, delivering a transfer of knowledge and collaboration through training and research.
