Today was the last seminar of 23/24 season of PLAMIENOK n.o. This time we discussed the importance of sense of humour seeing the opposites which at times coexist such as pain and love, sadness and joy …

At the end of the season, we remember many topics tackled around the year and notice the new knowledge acquired from articles, exercises for personal growth and supervision.

We also realised how we’ve changed from September until now; listening, being in the presence, widening our compassion and gratitude… 🙏💓

MAGIC MOUNTAIN🗻🧚‍♀️
A morning stoll to gain perspective reflecting on lived winter adventures.

Today I realised the importance of resting and recharging energy in nature to connect with joy.

Can you find a beautiful place near you?

Celebrating from mind, body and soul woman day 🌷
By sharing to a new learning experience.
I would like to share the poem from which we have been working to gain inner freedom and emotional maturity to help children snd families through difficult times.

Caged bird by Maya Angelou (1983)

A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.

But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage can seldom see through his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom.

The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees and the fat worms
waiting on a dawn bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams his shadow shouts on a nightmare
scream his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom.

Art is a transitional space where the inner joins with the outer 🎨

Donald W Winnicott

Art is present during therapy and experiential workshops. It helps to make contact with our inner world, to understand how we relate with others. Invites the discovery of new ways to dwell along the threads of life.

Making contact ✨
We worked on how to make contact with oneself and with children who are facing losses. Along last weekend I received much love from the group. We share deep moments of silence, openness, connection and gratitude. I look forward to meeting all in March 🙏💓🌱🫶

SIX MONTH BEREAVEMENT TRAINING COURSE 🌱

Last weekend we have started a new training for doctors, nurses, psychologist, pedagogist, students and managers who want to expand their capacity to help grieving children by processing their unresolved losses and learning a professional approach.

During the first workshop we spent time knowing each other while finding ways to share our own losses. ✨💓

I was touched by the openness and generosity of participants who were able to clearly express in words their feelings connected with their losses. 🙏

Gaining awareness on oneself is essential for learning how to communicate with children and families who are going through a difficult time.

This training course is organised by Plamienok n.o. Thank you for their trust and effort. 🙏

FIRST SUPERVISION IN THE NEW YEAR ✨

Today in the educational meeting at Plamienok n.o. Hospice for Children, we paid attention to supervision.

Supervision is one way to learn from each other. Together we were looking for a way to help children and families better.

We talk not only about children and families, but also about ourselves, what we go through, what is difficult for us.

I am grateful for the enriching meeting.🙏🌸
