*Un workshop gratuito con il metodo LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® per riflettere insieme e confrontarci su come gestire il mio tempo privato e lavorativo: Abitudini, rischi, prospettive* Il laboratorio sarà dedicato a esplorare il modo in cui ciascuno di noi gestisce il rapporto tra vita privata e lavoro. Attraverso costruzione e condivisione i partecipanti saranno accompagnati a riconoscere abitudini, bisogni e priorità personali, mettendo in luce rischi e opportunità delle diverse modalità organizzative. **Sul metodo LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®** È una metodologia che favorisce la riflessione, la comunicazione, il problem-solving e il decision-making; attraverso l’utilizzo dei mattoncini LEGO®, è in grado di coinvolgere i partecipanti nella costruzione di cose/modelli che rappresentano metaforicamente i loro pensieri, le loro conoscenze, le loro capacità. Un approccio capace di affrontare e risolvere problemi complessi e a sbloccare le menti, spingendo i partecipanti ad abbandonare la propria zona di comfort, introdurre elementi di discontinuità, a confrontarsi in modo aperto e costruttivo con gli altri. Facilita il workshop Cristina Polidori **Cristina Polidori** Porto in azienda strategie formative didattiche e a scuola tecniche formative aziendali. Mi occupo di crescita e consapevolezza, perché credo che la formazione sia lo strumento più potente per vivere autenticamente, a qualsiasi età. Progetto percorsi di sviluppo personale e professionale, perché desidero contribuire a creare persone libere di scegliere, capaci di comprendere sé stesse e gli altri, pronte a immaginare e costruire il futuro. Sperimento dinamiche formative che allenino assertività, gratitudine e visione, perché chi si forma diventa esempio e genera benessere nei team, nelle famiglie, nelle organizzazioni. Credo nel cambiamento consapevole, perché quando una persona modifica il proprio approccio, non trasforma solo la propria vita: trasforma anche quella di chi le sta accanto.

L' evento è rivolto a chi sta cercando compagni di viaggio, o semplicemente vuole condividere esperienze di viaggi fatti in passato e magari trarne qualche vantaggio. Non ha scopo di lucro, né di vendita pacchetti vacanze. Per giustificare l' occupazione del tavolo al locale basterà una minima consumazione ( caffè, cappuccino, etc.).

Sarà possibile sperimentare *rilassamento fisico*, *distensione mentale,* *esperienze energetiche e spirituali* di riconciliazione, ispirazione e pace che ci permettano di incontrare in profondità noi stessi e gli altri. Il contesto è del tutto **non-confessionale** e aperto a ogni forma di ateismo, spiritualità e provenienza religiosa. Ci ispiriamo al *Messaggio di Silo*.

Do you want more motivation and confidence to build Lasting Relationships? This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Are you burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival, while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This class is held at the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center.
