The Art to initiate Peace

Common values - our inherent potential

This seminar offers participants a psychological perspective to become aware of their own motivation. In order to work in crisis situations and areas of tension to empower ethnic groups, honouring the Self is a basic attitude, one that manifests as appreciation and respect for cultures not one's own. This underlying attitude generates inner strength and allows practitioners to remain centered in post trauma, prevention of violence and crisis situations. It leads to making sensitive choices in such situations for self and for others and creates the opportunity for innovative solutions to emerge. The personal process catalysed during this work will be honored as well.
