Experiential Group
Theme:
-
Working with our thoughts, feelings and emotions to encounter ourselves => The purpose of this experiential group is to get us in contact with our thoughts, emotions and feelings - through music, meditation and Joanna de Ângelis' technique of therapeutic visualisation - to encounter our true selves. We will then experience the sharing of this journey to activate the forces of our souls.
12:15 - 13:45
LUNCH
13:45 - 15:15
Interactive Conference 1 - Psychological conflicts and the search for the soul: love as a solution => Life presents us with challenges and possibilities, emotional conflicts and suffering, psychological traumas and existential uncertainty that echo how we relate to guilt, shame and forgiveness. The aim of the proposal is to help us understand that the search for the soul reclaims the therapy of love, as a pathway for self-care and as a liberating solution.
Anne Sinclair, Silvia Gibbons and Tiago Rizzotto
15:15 - 15:45
COFFEE BREAK
15:45 - 16:00
Meditation
16:00 - 17:30
Interactive Conference 2 - A network of meaningful relationships and emotions => Emotions, experiences, and personal growth are constantly shaping and reshaping our inner world, creating a unique and dynamic landscape that is ever-changing and deeply influenced by both internal and external factors. The sacred and transcendent experiences, which can catalyze lasting transformation, intertwine with our emotional landscape, allowing us to encounter the divine and mysterious, evoking powerful emotional responses that lead to personal change. Additionally, understanding how our emotions may be influenced by external sources, such as other minds or disembodied spirits, is crucial. Recognizing emotional shifts and exploring the role of mediumship in discerning these influences helps us navigate and understand the complexities of our emotional journey.
