Building bridges
A lab inspired by a mediation project facilitating encounters between old and new Berliners in neighbourhoods hosting refugee accommodations. We will explore a somatic approach to mediation for creating a safe space of encounter inviting diverse backgrounds and opinions. In what ways can fear find a way to be heard and transformed? How can bodily experiences support a ground for changing perspective? What supports a space for somatically guiding towards and experiencing empathy?
Friday

She explores a somatic approach to mediation working with conflicts ranging from interpersonal to international.
