The complex time we are going through has brought us as individuals and as a collective into contact with our fragility, and has opened up in us a profound question about the meaning of our existence.   A question that needs to be taken seriously in the space of care.
In this workshop we will explore together how the spiritual aspiration of self-transcendence finds integration in a “three-dimensional” vision of human being that several TA authors propose (James, 1981; Kandathil and Kandathil, 1997; Chandran, 2007; Mellor, 2008). In particular, Viktor Frankl’s idea of the will to meaning will be connected to some TA concepts that relate to a broad idea of well-being and care: human hungers, aspirations, and Physis.
With participants, we will explore how to apply in practice a broad idea of care and wellness promotion that fosters not only freedom from the script but also includes education for responsibility and nurturing hope. An idea of health that moves from the individual to the collective dimension, and that considers connections between humans and with the living planet as indispensable.
The workshop will alternate theoretical reflection with audience activations, and an experience of connecting to one’s deep Self (“inner core”) through a yoga meditation experience on the heart according to the Heartfulness method of which I am a certified trainer.
