“Bloom where you are planted”
In this workshop, we will explore what it means to make a home, to get into “agreement” with life circumstances. We will have space to process some of the unique frustrations – and joys – that come with living in a culture that is not your own. From everyday mini “traumas” to undercurrents in relationships, cultural differences can be unsettling to the spirit. This kind of stress can cause us to spin out internally.
Using art therapy and experiential techniques, Bellies Abroad provider Claudia Palmira, A.T., E.S., guides you to create your own definition of being at home – in yourself. Self-parenting and self-care are essential to this, and together we will clear a path to your own inner door.
The workshop lasts 3 hours with one break.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN THIS WORKSHOP:
• guided meditation
• interactive, playful activities
• guided creative activities – materials provided
• time for journaling, self-reflection
• In English – some Italian if needed
ABOUT THE MODALITIES USED IN THIS WORKSHOP

Experiential therapy involves guided movement and interaction among group members to improve spontaneity and release stuck energy in the body. No experience or skillset in either is necessary to participate. All are welcome.

• a pen and pencil
