Clarity in troubled times

The REGISTRATION FORM can be found at the bottom of the page

We are experiencing tough moments of uncertainty. We are challenged in unprecedented ways and our lives are changing at a supersonic speed. To keep our life in balance, we need „anchors” that can be acquired through exercise.

You may notice that you are frozen and unable to move forward. Maybe on the contrary, you are overwhelmed by the myriad of actions you do: work, movies, phones, news and you fail to catch your breath. Or maybe you are struggling with many thoughts, with the new reality that is emerging.

Mindfulness invites us to redirect the energy from flight /avoidance – denial, freeze / freeze or fight / struggle to observation with kindness and self-compassion. We learn to embrace what is. Thus, we can act from a place of Presence, from a place of unbiased tension and clarity, with more safety and strength. We can step into the unknown with curiosity instead of fear, maybe even with confidence in what we can build together with others in the future.

Our online sessions are LIVE because interaction and connection are of most importance for us.

What do we offer you?

We offer two types of events: virtual gathering /sharing circle (one and a half hours) and webinar (one hour).

Virtual gathering/sharing circle: Experience. Connection. Inspiration.

By embracing active listening and aware communication, the gathering provides a space for everyone to share experiences, listen and find ways to move forward in these uncommon times.

Webinar: Information. Practice. Connection.

We offer theoretical elements, practical exercises and the possibility to interact for sharing the impact of the exercises and ask questions.
