BIO-MIX-2022: The Orange Bike Workshop (OBM)

On 20 October, 2022, the group of doctoral students in Teva’s BIO-MIX 2022 program participated in a special workshop, held in collaboration with DigitalRosh.

The workshop is designed to improve personal abilities through the Orange Bike model (OBM – Orange Bike Mind workshop), a concentrated 4-hour workshop led by Prof. Yesha Sivan.

The OBM workshop gives participants options to improve cognitive abilities in three situations: managing day-to-day life, dealing with stress, and harnessing new opportunities. The Orange Bike Mind is a workshop where one learns riding a special type of bicycle – the bicycle of the brain. On a bicycle we “identify” three parts: the front wheel shows you where to go (= openness), the back wheel pushes you (= focus), the person sitting in the middle wins over both (= control). By practicing mindfulness you can train the brain and develop openness, focus and control abilities.

The workshop for 2022 Bio Mix program was held at Teva offices in Netanya.
