SELF-DEVELOPMENT COURSE:
Narration of my life and the meaning
1o.-12.03., 7.-9.04., 5.-7.05.2023 Tallinn

9 days (50 academic hours)
In our first workshop “The art of relationship and communication” we discussed the main human forces – connectedness and isolation. In this second workshop we will go even deeper, on a journey that is not only within us but also outside us. It is a tour de force that encompasses every aspect of our lives. It is about the meaning of our life. German psychologist and Auschwitz survivor Viktor Frankl was presenting the idea, that our purpose is not given by life, but life demands from us: “What is the meaning of your life?”
In the first weekend we begin the journey with the question: “What is the narrative of my life?” How did you create your story with different chapters, pages, and words. It is mainly about becoming who we are – not what we should be. Questions are highlighted: what are my roots, who were my ancestors, what are my abilities, hidden pains, strong beliefs, etc. We create the ground from which to start the journey. Cleaning and getting rid of the old patterns sometimes is needed.
In the second weekend, we work on mission, passion and calling, creating the uniqueness of oneself, which will transform to own purpose. We are exceptional, unique and outstanding – based on our history, our biography and our experiences. We are like a precious paintings by the old Italian masters – made up by thousands of small brushstrokes. You meet yourself in creation and challenge, being in the void where new wholeness can flourish.
Finally, on the third weekend, you head back “home”, creating your own life project based on your true self and acceptance of the past, filled with individual purpose and creativity, trusting the process of life. Whatever your individual project looks like, it’s part of you. You get to know yourself better, your fellowship and the meaning of your life.
The journey begins.
COURSE INTRODUCTION
Working method in the workshop
The workshop is not a purely cognitive treatment of the topic! To understand something is important, but it is not enough for change processes.
Therefore, in the workshop we will create:
- Space for personal encounter and exchange
The workshop is a “safe place” for you to talk openly about your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Personal experiences of success and doubts have their place here.
- Space for support
The workshop offers you the opportunity to be heard by other participants, to listen and to share your experiences with others.
- Space for recognition
The workshop is not about evaluation, not about right or wrong: it is about your personal experience. About your strengths and weaknesses as a person with dreams and supposed failures.
- Space to learn
In the workshop you will have the opportunity to ask questions, develop answers together, look at beliefs and illuminate new paths.
Work techniques
The workshop will be designed together with you as a cooperative project. We will not only talk (rationalize), but also feel, use our creativity and feel our whole body (embodiment).
Principle
In the group we work in an appreciative, accepting, benevolent and critical-supportive way.
We respect ourselves and the other participants in their strengths and weaknesses, give feedback and respect each other’s limits.
