“Passion is the bridge that takes you from pain to change” Frida Kahlo

One year into the pandemic, our perception love, time, loss and uncertainty became more pregnant, more visible, more touchable...It is time to grow... We have not been able to see, touch, and hug our loved ones. Some of us have lost friends, family members or colleagues to the virus. Others lost their jobs, their business or their purpose. Stuck indoors, facing our inner world more than ever before, we sometimes felt that time was passing by slower or faster.  We all felt, to some degree, that we lost our freedom.  

So, how do we deal with all of this? How do we bring love back into our lives? How do we use our time in a balanced way? How can we deal with loss and recover from it? How do we grow from this all, together? 

We learn best when we connect with others, by asking questions, sharing our stories, exchanging views and self-reflecting.  

I invite you to take 2 hours of your time to explore the last theme of this series GROWTH together with other people in three interactive workshops. 

You can attend this workshop even if you did not for the previos two.  

PART III GROWTH

"One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again." - Abraham Maslow

Life is not just rainbows and butterflies. It is also related to suffering, trauma, disease and other uncomfortable situations. ‘I will survive’, goes an old song – but is surviving living?

What makes us overcome setbacks and have a life worth living? How do we maintain a healthy mind in a healthy body? Resilience, optimism and determination are what help us grow stronger, wiser and bolder. 
 

During this workshop we will explore:
- How to deal with loss, suffering and uncertainty in a healthy manner
- Healthy coping mechanisms and resilience;
- Become aware of resources and strengths that you already possess;
- Experience new ways of coping with difficult situations.
