WORKSHOPS
Eleven years ago, I began to design and implement workshops for vulnerable populations, specially geared towards migrants, refugees, shelter volunteers, and the family members of missing persons.
Four years ago, due to the different needs we as a society go through, I decided to broaden my work with the purpose of reaching various populations. Some of the workshops I host are done in collaboration with different artists in order to enrich the work. Through group work I hope that each participant has a sensory experience, that they live the process through their senses.
I am convinced that it is not only about finding other people with similar difficulties; what really helps is the emotional experience of sharing one’s inner world, being heard, and being accepted as one is. This is the importance of having good group experiences, many of which can rectify previous unsatisfactory experiences. Group interaction spaces help us to strengthen, grow, and allow us to mend our self-image.
