About the Workshop
The reference to the second spring in our lives is often negative, scary and threatening, but we are here to say that it is worthwhile and possible to get many tools that will help us conduct ourselves correctly during this period and even improve the quality of our lives.
Even in such a challenging time full of worries and anxiety – it is important to mark stable anchors and allow hope.
In the workshop in Greece we will touch on all the changes from pre-transition to post-transition – a span of about 20 years and we will refer to the complex period we are still in the midst of. We will learn accessible and simple tools of regulation and stabilization that will allow the body and mind to get through these days with relative stability and resilience, thereby reducing symptoms and improving the quality of life.
We will understand the story of one of the most significant periods in our lives, we will discover what the body and consciousness tell us, we will discover together what I want for myself now, When the children are older and I have more time on my hands, and what qualities I want to cultivate in myself.
With Lital Simon we can connect and understand closely the process that the body goes through. We will get to know the types in Indian medicine. We will understand what nutrition is right for us in order to benefit our body and mind, we will be precise in the workshop: learn to move safely in this time of many changes, turn drama into dharma and how to change our lifestyle and habits.
