Through deep exploration of the Self this training course is going to address the development of the resources and competencies of people who work with other people, especially youth, in the fields of personal transformation by exploring and learning a wide variety of concepts and practices. We will attempt to tackle and look closer to the existential crises - the loss of meaning and purpose in life, the so called 'youth disconnection' due to the loss of genuine models.

💚 'The Art of Wholeness' is the reclamation and the cultivation of our innate gifts and capacities. Much of our human wholeness has been (and still is) suppressed in our culture, buried in the realm of the unconscious and it is our invitation and responsibility to claim it back by owning and embodying those gifts that are patiently waiting to be (re)discovered. Furthermore, it is our responsibility as youth workers to support youth to reclaim their own gifts.

In this program we will be exploring archetypal resources, based on the 'Nature based Map of the Human Psyche' developed by Bill Plotkin.

Participants will be guided on a journey to reconnect with their inner self, body, mind and emotions, to express openly and creatively, and by being invited to get out of their comfort zone to cultivate trust, openness and connection with themselves, others and nature as the foundation for becoming a source of heart-based positive transformation for the community.
