Symbiotic imprint
Kachtíková, Michaela ; Tkáčová, Lucia (referee) ; Houser, Milan (advisor)
The thesis entitled "Symbiotic Imprint" explores the symbiotic relationship between the physicality and the mind through a meditative practice that materializes in a site-specific installation inside the catacombs. The thesis reflects the artist's personal research into the inner mental space that is transformed into physical form. The author presents a space that, while familiar to her, is at the same time alien, and which is constantly transforming and evolving as a result of long-term care. This process leads to the creation of a unique dialogue between external and internal environments, where physical interaction and presence of body become key components for deeper understanding and self-knowledge. The site-specific installation attempts to connect the outer and inner worlds, the visible and the hidden, inside and outside.

Mental health care as a specific tourism product
BÍLKOVÁ, Hana
The goal of this bachelor's thesis is an in-depth analysis in the field of wellness, the identification of main trends and customer preferences, the second goal is to propose the possibility of developing "active" care for mental balance as a new tourism product. Several research methods are used in the thesis. It is an analysis of the offer of travel agencies and accommodation facilities, field research in wellness facilities in Barcelona, Prague and Frymburk near the Lipno dam, two semi-structured interviews, namely with the owner of the Wellness Hotel Frymburk and with a philosopher, lecturer of personal development seminars and organizer of trips to Asia. Structured interviews were also held with participants of wellness facilities in Barcelona, Prague and Frymburk, and moreover I took part in seminars on the researched issue in Basel, Switzerland and in Prague, led by world-renowned experts in the field of mental care. It was found that not all components of a person's wellness are taken care of in wellness facilities, but care is largely focused on the physical aspect, while the mental, spiritual and social components are neglected. The research also showed that the investigated facilities mostly do not offer products influenced by the latest trends in the field of wellness, which are precisely the shift of attention from the care of the body perceived as a "mechanical machine" to the subtler system of the body and its internal thought and emotional processes. The research was conducted on randomly selected respondents in wellness facilities, while analyzing the offer, a wide range of Czech and other European wellness businesses were examined. In the final part, the modification of specified existing wellness facilities by adding spaces for mental care, the economic impact of the proposal including a simplified cost budget and marketing support were proposed.

Vrazne - Extension of the Zen Centre Kwan Um
Gross, Kamil ; Zdvomka, Ondřej (referee) ; Marek, Jiří (advisor)
The diploma project will deal with the extension of the Zen centre located in the small village of Vrážné. In general, in this landscape around the town of Jevíčko, the number of residents in these small villages and settlements is declining and the picturesque, but over time decaying farms with residential and farm buildings remain. One of the hopes of bringing life back to this gradually declining village structure is in this particular case the Zen school of Kwan Um, which bought one of these properties and began to repair it slowly. Zen meditation itself comes from East Asia, namely from the South Korea. How to transform this tradition into a rural environment, how to support the community of this school and find harmony with the whole village and local traditions? These are the questions which the diploma project will address.
