The workshop is based on the works of Vera Molnár and focuses on attention and awareness. Daniel J. Siegel's Awareness Wheel practice, which is used to develop the skills of directing and focusing attention necessary for a healthy mind, is combined with artistic work. After a walk through the museum, awareness of the senses, body and mind and attention to the environment are expanded, while the discoveries are transferred to paper with art therapy tools.

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
