Workshop

Dahlia Bali

Bilingual

This experiential workshop invites us to recognize the value of play as a coping mechanism and of stories as a classic tool available to everyone to create connection, compassion, and presence, even if only for brief moments. Through play, emotional regulation, the development of abstract thinking, and the ability to face uncertainty more comfortably are promoted. Stories, in turn, teach us to be human, to accept others, and to care for both our own well-being and that of those around us. This experience allows us, even if only momentarily, to put aside worries and tasks to marvel and reconnect with our essence.
