Workshops and shared experiences that aim at inner peace

      Violence, fear, insecurity, stress...These emotions become more and more common in people's lives nowadays. This means stern, exasperated or sad faces. Psychologist Maria Clara Leme organized a workshop "Awakening Tenderness in People" aiming at recovering the warm smile, the compassionate look, the solicitous gesture, in short, the rescue of the lost humanity of mankind. It will take place at the First World Spiritual Forum on December 6 th, from 1:00 to 2:30pm.

      "Awakening Tenderness in People" is the most recent of the 27 workshops put together by Maria Clara Leme and it has benefited more than 250 persons up to now. The psychologist explains that it is based on the perception that the world lives today a moment of intense disbelief. "People are afraid of people", she says. This workshop intends to help people find within themselves, due to the fear resulting from experiencing an engendered situation of violence, the means to transform this fear into a positive emotion.

      When asked whether she will be focusing pardoning the psychologist replied that the workshop seeks to transform situations of impoliteness, of discourteousness into situations of politeness, of courtesy. "Perhaps the word is forgiveness, in the case of a Christian, but it may be another word or expression, such as looking at a situation from a different point of view. I want to bring out new healing possibilities, without religiosity", she adds.

      Maria Clara Leme is a psychologist specialized in psychodrama, social gerontology and sex therapy, and she has originated and directs 27 different workshops.

      On the same day there will take place two other workshops: "Giving Body to Consciousness", a dynamic energizing of the psyque, conducted by body therapist Nilce Gomes da Silva, and "Activated Art Meditation", an integrated body, mind and soul experience coordinated by the holistic therapist Suzel Saraceni.

      Activated Art – According to Suzel Saraceni the "Activated Art Meditation" workshop will be based on the Holo-Praxis therapy modality that integrates breathing, physical exercise, spontaneous dancing, Tibetan rites, meditation and circles of energy, promoting the awakening of sensorial and extra-sensorial perception accessing consciousness and encouraging self-knowledge in all the different aspects of the Being.

      Seraceni explains that our life energy obtained through food, oxygen, prana and so on can only flow satisfactorily when the various bodies from the denser to the more subtle are interacting harmoniously so that the various channels, meridians, energetic centers and electromagnetic fields (aura) may absorb and distribute this energy in a balanced manner.

      "This pratice methodology and approach were developed by putting together several established universal techniques" she states. Suzel Saraceni is master in Reiki and Karuna Reiki Master, a chromotherapist, an expert in radiosensitivity and a meditation instructor.

      About seventeen workshops will take place in the intervals between the different presentations and panels which are available for your perusal at The First World Spiritual Forum site: www.forumespiritualmundial.org.br. Participation in the workshops is absolutely FREE. One may sign up at the time and place of the activity. Note that there are limited numbers of vacancies per room.
