Workshop

This workshop, titled "At Life’s Meridian – Finding New Sources," is a 90-minute experiential journey designed for helpline volunteers facing the challenges of midlife and burnout. Using the method of floor pictures, we move from verbal counseling to the "language of the heart" through the creation of a collective floor picture. Participants will use natural elements like summer flowers, stones, and colorful textiles to visualize their life paths and identify the "fruits" of their professional and personal experiences. The methodology focuses on contemplative stillness, rhythmic rituals, and symbolic storytelling, allowing helpers to lay down their burdens and reconnect with their inner resources. This holistic approach integrates body, soul, and spirit, fostering a "sacred space" for renewal. By the end of the session, participants will have transformed their internal landscape into a tangible, shared piece of art that symbolizes resilience and hope for the "second half" of life.
