5 days

Breaking out of the duality between men/women & humans/nature

Towards a better balance between men and women, humans and nature, for me, in my institution, in a territory… At the service of complementarity and dynamic interdependence.

Aims:

  • Clarify the focus and raison d’être of our actions
  • Respect oneself while committing to the group
  • Find a source of nourishment and spare oneself in the short and long term
  • Decode/decipher situations
  • Find inspiration, experience mutual support
  • Cooperate in and with all socio-cultural environments
  • Develop dynamic interdependencies with the natural environment
  • Understand the mechanisms of power and use them for the common good
  • Develop equity and complementarity within organisations and territories
  • Listen, express oneself, prevent and solve conflicts within groups
  • Collectively create new narratives to serve all
  • Choose the right tools and postures for different contexts and territories

Teaching approach:

Teaching through experience and awareness: hands-on exercises to experiment with new concepts followed by individual and/or group debriefing, and the addition of complementary input. The experimental phase is based on examples shared by the participants, using individual, pair or group exercises: practical physical and/or verbal exercises, role-playing, image theatre, forum theatre-NVC…

My project… our project from A to Z

Throughout the different courses of the program, participants are invited to keep a logbook and at each module they revisit the progress of their project through exercises.
The project may be a new one or simply a change of posture that they wish to live in an existing activity.

Individual support

Three interviews are offered to students who commit to the entire programme: at the start, in the middle and at the end.

Testimonials

Very inspired by the method of conveying highly intellectual notions through a body-based practice.

Florent

A fine, humorous approach to serious subjects. Good balance between theory and practice, with lots of rich content. The experimental approach is not overly confrontational: a non-violent learning experience.

Aude

This approach links the systemic view and NVC through experimentation. It allowed me to gain an awareness grounded in experience, and gave me the tools to take action in a way that is both more peaceful and more powerful.

Héloisa

Thank you, I feel inspired by your posture: grounded, dynamic, firm and caring.

Anaïs

A rich, human and interesting course, where the instructor adapted to both collective and individual needs. Practical, dynamic content that kept me on my toes. A course that has an impact on the professional, the individual and the human in us all. Thank you so much!

Audrey

High-quality training and a highly competent instructor. It feels so good to take this kind of training, which should be a prerequisite for all managers. It needs to be infused into all our institutions. Many thanks for this breath of fresh air!
