Restoring Basic Goodness

Exploring Relational Being & Restoring Basic Goodness
We like to invite you to explore the nature of relationships, not just as interactions between individuals, but as living entities or 'social bodies' with their own unique quality. Drawing on principles similar to Social Presencing Theater (SPT**) and ancient wisdom , the focus is on shifting attention from the personal 'I' to the collective 'We'.
The overall process is about cultivating our natural ability to create balance, starting from the self and extending to small social bodies like the partnership, family, working teams and potentially larger ones. It's basically about restoring basic goodness, a often overshadowed quality that is at our core.
The workshop delivery and instructions will be in English, though group work may occur in German. Preparation and a slower pace might be involved, especially for participants new to this kind of work.
*The Diamond Logos teachings (DLT) originated by Faisal Muqaddam, is a systematic process of reclaiming our true self and finding our position in life. We live in a very precious, rich reality, and we are very beautiful magical beings but we lost knowing who we are and the kingdom we live in. We are living through concepts and belief systems that do not allow us to perceive who we really are. This work is about removing these veils and barriers and transforming our consciousness so we can recover and integrate our true essence.

** Social Presencing Theater (SPT) is a methodology, developed under the leadership of Arawana Hayashi, for understanding current reality and exploring emerging future possibilities. SPT can be practiced at the individual, group, organization, and larger social systems level. It is not "theater" in the conventional sense, but uses simple body postures and movements to dissolve limiting concepts, to communicate directly, to access intuition, and to make visible leverage points for creating profound change.

Key Focus Areas:
Key Focus Areas:
Stillness: Slowing down mental, cognitive activities is an essential step to deepen sense perception and connect to embodied sources of wisdom.
Embodying Qualities: Use our bodies to experience specific qualities (such as courage, authenticity, or creativity).
Joint Exploration: The workshop is not about being taught definitions, but about setting an intention or focus on a specific area (like the quality of a relationship) and jointly sensing and exploring what emerges.
Sensing Feeling Qualities: Emphasis is placed on sensing and feeling qualities. This involves drawing on feelings, experiences, and sentiments.
Relational Awareness: The aim is to deepen understanding of relationships, explore their essence, and foster relational awareness, recognizing that everything is relational. This includes sensing into the unique energy and qualities that emerge in the social field.
