Who do you want to become? Do you remember how many times in your life you have asked yourself this question?

I’ve always been drawn to the saying “Become what you are!”, uttered by Nietzsche, Watts and other thinkers, but what does it mean? Therefore, this workshop is an invitation to explore self-image and a call to courage, awareness, acceptance, assumption, compassion and love.

We will navigate the need for authentic human connection, perfectionism and excessive criticism as defensive strategies, while discovering how we develop a complex and balanced self-image through living an authentic interpersonal relationship. Through exercises in reflection and deep analysis we will try to make sense of the present, make peace with the past and find ways to build a better future. Attending the conference in advance can bring participants more value in the long-term application of the practices learned during the workshop.
