PRÒSTIR (Ukrainian for “space”) of Transformation is a physical space in Kyiv where, through a special blend of light, sound, design, and art-therapeutic practices, people can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and experience emotional transformation through awe experience.
PRÒSTIR aims to become a network of spaces and programs that shape a culture of healing through neuroaesthetics.
PRÒSTIR of Transformation is an immersive space in Kyiv where, through a special blend of light, sound, design, and art-therapeutic practices, people can slow down, emotionally recharge and reconnect with themselves.
It is a project at the intersection of art, technology, and therapy. PRÒSTIR creates a holistic experience of emotional reset — accessible, clear, deep, and multidimensional.
Visits to PRÒSTIR are organized in 1-hour sessions for up to 10 people, offering an express transformative experience that can be extended through partner “transformation programs” — products and services from companies working in the field of mental health (such as psychotherapy platforms, yoga and mindfulness studios).
Different PRÒSTIRs will be created to address various mental health needs and audiences — including veterans, people who have experienced loss, and others.
PRÒSTIR aims to become a network of transformative spaces and programs that foster emotional healing and shape a new culture of mental self-care through the tools of neuroaesthetics. We are creating not just a space, but a movement — for emotional recovery, self-awareness, and the awakening of human potential to imagine and build a better future.
Philosophy of PRÒSTIR:
Our reality is shaped by people who act in alignment with their beliefs and values.
To create a better future, we need more conscious people who find meaning in life and live in harmony with it.
To achieve that, people must first reconnect with their inner selves — to listen to their needs and desires, release emotions, rediscover their purpose of life, and regain the energy to live in alignment with it.
Programs & Activities
The pilot PRÒSTIR is designed for people working in the creative industries — individuals who have achieved professional success and have rich life experience. Many of them experience anxiety, fatigue, and emotional overload caused by the constant pursuit of achievement. They want to pause, restore balance, and reconnect with themselves, but don’t know how. Another part of the audience already practices self-awareness and mindfulness and seeks a safe and inspiring environment to deepen their experience.
The transformational experience in PRÒSTIR will be reinforced through partnership programs with mental health businesses — such as monthly therapy sessions, mindfulness subscriptions, or guided self-development courses.
Following the pilot project, new spaces will be created to meet different needs and audiences:
- Thematic capsules such as “Reconnection”, “Finding a Meaning”, etc.;
- Programs for veterans, people affected by loss, children;
- Mobile pop-up spaces integrated into exhibitions, public events, etc.;
- Corporate wellbeing programs will be developed for teams and organizations (B2B direction).
Institutional and Research Work:
PRÒSTIR will promote neuroaesthetics and art therapy at the institutional level through:
- Developing recommendations for integrating art-therapeutic and neuroaesthetic practices into education, healthcare, and social policies;
- Partnering with Ukrainian and international researchers to study the impact of art and aesthetic experiences on mental health.
