With 李文淑 Wen-Shwu Lee  and 傑米森 Jamison Schulz-Franco

Open Dates
通常我們會以我們所做的工作,我們的交友圈,或是我們的專業成就來定義自己。我們常被告知,年輕正是成長和改變的關鍵時期!我們也被期待著,在兼顧無數其他任務的『同時,』我們不要錯失了這關鍵的年輕時刻!現在加上當今政治和社會的動盪,抗爭衝突,以及全球疫情蔓延,年輕族群的生活真的變成了壓力,而不再是樂趣!無論清晰與否,我們對生活總有願景,我們規劃著如何向世界、向家人,或是向我們的伴侶證明自己。然而,面對這種種喘不過氣的壓力,學校與社會教育給年輕人的,似乎只是讓我們精進在個人的專業科目上,並沒有真正引導我們如何向內看,與自己的情感連結,面對失敗挫折,或者如何建立親密關係。在不了解自己的前提下,我們又怎麼知道自己想要什麼?~ So often we define ourselves by our jobs, our friend groups, our occupations and our accomplishments. As young people we are told that we are in a crucial period of growth and change, yet the expectation is that we do that while managing a thousand other tasks, all at once. When you pile on political and social upheaval, war and conflict, and a worldwide pandemic, life can become more of a stress than a pleasure. Whether we know it or not, we have a vision for our lives, mapping out how we want to prove ourselves to the world, to our families and to our partners. In school we are told about all of the careers that we may follow to fulfill us, but we are not taught how to check-in with our emotional center, how to face our failures or frustrations, or how to be intimate with others. How are we supposed to know what we want in our lives, without truly knowing ourselves first?

Resilience is not merely the ability to endure difficulty: Rather, it is the conscious use of our resources as well as the desire to get back up and dust ourselves off after a set-back or a loss. It is nurturing the faith in ourselves to locate and utilize our innate skills to move beyond just surviving and into thriving and wholeness. In this workshop we will explore how to re-connect with our innate resilience via the ‘felt-sense’ approach, combining a diverse range of modalities.

Over the last twenty years, David and Linda have gathered and supported a wonderful team of facilitators and youth assistants who have helped make the program what it is today.

This program offers participants opportunities to both express and witness the safe and boundaried expression of anger. This is helpful for people who have previously expressed their anger violently and no longer want to do this. It is also crucial for people who say they never get angry or, perhaps because of early experiences of violence, avoid any hint of anger today. For both these groups of people, emotional, physical and relationship dysfunction may have resulted. This program will open up exciting new possibilities for you, whatever experiences of anger and/or violence you have had until now.
