The topics of individual workshops are: - Meeting 1: DREAM MAP 📅 Date: October 9, 11:00 am – 1:00 pm Participants will create their own collages – symbolic maps of their needs, longings, and goals. We will also work with authentic movement, breathing techniques, and visualization to gain deeper self-insight, resulting in the recognition of unmet needs, creating an action plan, and motivation to fulfill dreams. - Meeting 2: SPIRAL OF LIFE – past, future, and present 📅 Date: October 23, 11:00 am – 1:00 pm Through tension-release techniques, authentic movement, and drawing, participants enter into dialogue with the past, future, and present. The goal is to integrate life experiences, find meaning in what was and what is coming, and deepen contact with the present moment. The result of the workshop is inner order, increased acceptance of one's own history, a sense of continuity, inner peace, and a sense of meaning. - Meeting 3: MY TREE 📅 Date: November 13, 11:00 am – 1:00 pm The workshop combines bodywork, music, and drawing inspired by the symbolism of the tree as a metaphor for ancestors, life, strength, and rootedness. Through gentle movement, mindfulness, sounds, and drawing, participants discover their "roots," resources, and space for growth and flow. The effect is a deepened relationship with the body, strengthened sense of value and inner support, as well as the experience of community and creative self-expression. - Meeting 4: GARDEN OF VALUES 📅 Date: November 20, 11:00 am – 1:00 pm Through movement, visualization, music, and drawing, participants discover and name what is truly important to them. Working with the body and image helps to realize that some values change. Their discovery motivates action so that life has greater meaning and is lived in harmony with oneself. - Meeting 5: MANDALA 📅 Date: November 27, 11:00 am – 1:00 pm A workshop combining bodywork, music, and creative drawing. Inspired by the form of the mandala as a symbol of wholeness and order, participants express and discover their inner world, feelings, and needs through movement and image. The effect of the workshop is the experience of peace, concentration, and harmony, as well as strengthening the sense of meaning and beauty in everyday life and group integration. SIGN UP TODAY!
