The present situation in our world leaves us entrapped in our bubbles, lonely and craving for connection.

With this workshop we will explore different ways of listening – playfully, deeply, compassionately – to ourselves, in relationship with others and nature. Listening we do in the ‘here and now’, with our whole being. It creates the condition for ‘resonant connection’, a meaningful reciprocity with our inner and outer world.

We often suffer from a feeling of disconnect, where we kind of close off from the stream of life like living in a bubble with predictable habits and thought patterns. This protection mechanism makes us at times quite lonely. We forget to open the window and allow a new breath of fresh air to come in. This workshop gives you practical tools to reconnect and to find your own way to open that window for a new delight.

The term resonance is developed by German sociologist Hartmut Rosa. She argues that meaning does not arise from utility, power, control, or success, but from our relational connection with the world—when the world responds, when something resonates.

According to Rosa, resonance is a relational experience in which we feel touched by something outside ourselves—a person, a landscape, a work of art, a response to a letter. Resonance is a two-way street: we speak and the world responds. This is different from harmony, happiness, or recognition; it is an experience of meaningful reciprocity.

The workshop is for everyone who is curious to listen into the new or unknown and learn skills how to do this.
