Thema dieser Mittwochspraxis: A Contemplative Writing Practice: Accessing the Inner Teacher 

Über das Thema / About the topic

Sometimes it feels like we are the only ones with difficult emotions, unhelpful thoughts, and unfixable problems. However, the truth is, we all experience difficulties. In this Mittwochspraxis, participants will be guided through a contemplative writing process to explore this aspect of being human. Contemplative writing is a practice that can develop inner knowledge and a practical tool that can be used in many different contexts. We learn more about ourselves and access a deeper space of knowing that can impact our way of being in the world in relation to ourselves and others. Consider this session an invitation to practice caring for yourself and supporting colleagues as they do the same. 

Hinweis: Diese Mittwochspraxis findet komplett auf Englisch statt. Grundkenntnisse sind erforderlich.
