Question 1

What is the Roiya Mental Gym?

Accepted Answer

The Mental Gym is Roiya’s experiential learning space for personal growth and emotional fitness. It includes Roiya Lab (weekly themed workshops), Roiya Circle (community gatherings), and Roiya Intensive (deep-dive weekend programs). Each uses role-based practice to build real-life skills and flexibility.

Question 2

What sets the Mental Gym apart from counseling?

Accepted Answer

Counseling involves clinical care with licensed therapists focused on healing and diagnosis-related goals. The Mental Gym, on the other hand, is educational and practice-oriented, short-term, skill-building, and open to anyone ready to learn new ways of relating and responding. It’s not medical or diagnostic and is designed to complement, not replace, counseling.

Question 3

Is the Mental Gym the right level of care for me?

Accepted Answer

Choose the Mental Gym if you’re functioning day to day and want growth, skills, and resilience—not clinical treatment.

If you’re in acute distress or need therapy for trauma, anxiety, or depression, Roiya Counseling may be a better fit.

If you’re already in therapy, the Mental Gym can be a complement; we can coordinate with your clinician with your written consent.

Question 4

Who can join Mental Gym programs?

Accepted Answer

Anyone interested in personal development, communication, creativity, or emotional wellness, no prior therapy or “acting” experience required. Programs welcome individuals, couples, professionals, and community members alike.

Question 5

Do I need therapy experience to participate?

Accepted Answer

No. Many participants are new to experiential work. Facilitators guide you through warm-ups, gentle exercises, and clear takeaways, no acting skills or prior therapy required.

Question 6

Are Roiya Lab and Roiya Circle covered by insurance?

Accepted Answer

No. The Mental Gym is an educational and wellness space, not a medical service, and is not billable to insurance. Pricing for Labs, Circles, and Intensives is listed on the Our Fees (https://www.roiyacenter.com/fees)page.

Question 7

What should I expect in a Roiya Lab session?

Accepted Answer

Each Lab has a theme (e.g., boundaries, communication, intimate relationships). You’ll do guided role exercises, reflective sharing, and short “real-life reps” to apply new skills between sessions. Labs are 90 minutes in person with a small group format.

Question 8

What happens at a Roiya Circle?

Accepted Answer

Roiya Circle is the community room of the Mental Gym—an open space for storytelling, reflection, and connection through experiential formats like Playback Theatre and community dialogues. It’s not therapy, but a place to practice presence, empathy, and role flexibility with others.

Question 9

What is a Roiya Intensive?

Accepted Answer

Intensives are daylong immersive workshops for deeper personal growth or professional training. They combine experiential methods with structured reflection to help you make significant shifts in a focused timeframe.

Question 10

Do I have to share personal stories during Mental Gym sessions?

Accepted Answer

You can share as much or as little as you like. Every exercise has different levels of participation, from quiet observation to active role play, so you always have choice and consent.

Question 11

How do I choose between Lab, Circle, or Intensive?

Accepted Answer

Think of it as levels of depth:
 • Lab → weekly skill-building practice
 • Circle → community connection and creative reflection
 • Intensive → immersive, transformative workshop
Each serves a different phase of growth, and you can move between them freely.

Question 12

Can I attend with a friend or partner?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many people join with a friend, partner, or colleague. Each participant registers separately, but shared attendance can enhance learning and accountability.

Question 13
