Looking into Dragon's Eyes
 Exploring & Processing Change

 

Many legends depict beautiful and dangerous dragons – some say that by looking into its eyes, a person can gain knowledge and find the answers to their questions. However, many brave souls have failed to achieve this feat – regardless of how confident they were before, they find themselves mesmerised when faced with the dragon, completely at its mercy.

​

A similar situation can occur when change appears on the horizon of our lives – very often, fear paralyses us, we don't know what to do, so we remain stuck, and change slowly approaches, finally taking complete control of the situation. In the eyes of our Dragon – Change, we see only a hypnotising fear – of crossing that invisible boundary beyond which our familiar reality ends and the unknown begins.

​

This can manifest itself in many ways in our lives. We find ourselves stuck in relationships that have long ceased to be a good fit for us, but fear prevents us from either leaving or attempting to rebuild the relationship. We receive a new job offer – but fear forces us to decline because our current one isn't ‘that’ bad, and who knows whether we'll cope in a new place. Our partner suggests moving to another city – but how will we cope without family and old friends? Each of us can add at least a few other examples.

During this workshop, we will explore our fears, and try to understand what change means to us and why we fear it so much. We will stand face to face with the dragon and, in its eyes, find the knowledge and strength needed to take the first step beyond our current limitations.

​

Most of the exercises originate from Process-Oriented Psychology (Processwork).

This workshop provides a rare opportunity to refresh connection with oneself, gain new perspectives, re-charge batteries and acquire new insights into particular situations.
