Wholeness

This training course invites human wholeness, a mature and resourceful way of being in the world. We invite authenticity and respect, depth and lightness, grief and laughter, wildness and responsibility.

Soul-based work

During the training we wanted to create profound experiences. Knowledge, information and facts are very important and were provided within the training, but what moved us, what drove us to create a long-lasting impact in our field of activity was the joined elements of both intellectual understanding and deep experience processes that unlocked the personal wisdom and deep knowing.

Art-based and ritual-based work

We explored the landscape of the psyche through a variety of art practices, including creative expression, self-designed ceremony, solo exercises while wandering on the land, group work, embodiment, movement, voice dialogue, journaling, singing and deep imagery work.
