Wisdom of Life - Level 1 & 2 - GROUP ONLY - May 2025

Level 1: Unpacking the Emotional Backpack

Everyone carries an emotional backpack filled with suppressed feelings from past experiences fear, anger, sadness, shame, and pain. This accumulated emotional baggage influences our thoughts, behaviors, and relationships, often leading to disproportionate emotional reactions.

This workshop, based on Vivian Dittmar’s book The Emotional Backpack, provides participants with the tools to recognize, process, and release unresolved emotions, so they
no longer weigh them down.

Level 2: Mastering the Art of Conflict

Conflict is not a problem—it is an invitation. Most of us have been taught to avoid or dominate in conflicts, but few of us have learned to use them as a gateway to deeper awareness and transformation.

In this workshop, we will:

– See Conflict as a Path to Growth: Learn to embrace conflict as an opportunity rather than a struggle.

– Enter the “Space in Between”: Explore the gap between our needs and those of others as a creative space where unexpected solutions arise.

– Let Go of Power Struggles: Move beyond control and manipulation into true listening and understanding.

– Work with Person Conflict: Bring real-life challenges into the workshop and explore them using new relational tools.

This workshop moves beyond conventional conflict resolution into a space of deep
connection and expanded awareness, helping participants see disagreements not as obstacles, but as transformative opportunities.
