URI MENA and fours Cooperation Circles, Masar CC, Desert Bloom CC, Mercy CC, as well as Orphans and Widows Care CC planned and implemented this week-long space of encounter and discussion.
Objective of this training course is, to enable the ten participants to deal with strong emotions and stress in a satisfying way, to use non-violent-communication to express their needs and feelings, and to identify symptoms of trauma within their community.
Clara, also working for Desert Bloom CC, facilitated the second day about „Stress“. Topic of the third day was „Trauma“, led by URI facilitator Imad.
The training course finished with an excursion to Alia Eco Village. We were hosted by Khaled and learned about how we connect with nature deeply, how we protect our environment, and how we can recharge and balance our emotions more with the help of grounding exercises (for example deep breathing).
