Mindfulness and Gestalt with Vera Mysak

Ukrainian/Russian/German

Thursdays from 11.00 – 13.00

Vera comes from sunny Odessa in the Ukraine. She is a psychologist, Gestalt therapist and mindfulness teacher. She has lived in Berlin since the beginning of the war in Ukraine and is in the process of rebuilding her life here. Sometimes this is difficult for her, sometimes she is full of joy, sometimes she doesn’t know what to do. But what she feels very clearly is that she loves her life and accepts everything that happens in it. She has learned to find stability, to enjoy happy moments and she wants to pass on what she has acquired to others.

Through mindfulness exercises, we learn to slow down, become more aware of the present moment and appreciate it as what is available to each of us.
The courses offer a supportive framework to
meditate together and understand what meditation is and what it is not
learn to deal better with difficult experiences
stop the flow of negative thoughts and learn how and why it is important to stay in the “here and now”
learn to make conscious decisions instead of living on “autopilot”
find a way to be kinder to others and to yourself.

 

Dates: weekly from 4 participants

Cost: €20 per appointment (discount possible for refugees)

Location: InKontakt Gestalt Institute Berlin, Gleimstraße 37, 10437 Berlin

 

With the further training course “Flight and Identity”, we offer Arabic-speaking employees of social organisations/institutions with their own flight/migration experience a structured framework for a targeted examination of the question of how flight affects the identity of refugees. The participants contribute their own experiences, which are jointly reflected upon on the basis of the Gestalt approach and made usable for counselling work in various social fields. The focus is on dialogue-based work and creative methods.

 

This group supports women who, after losing their familiar life in Syria, are looking for a way into a self-determined life here in Berlin. The goal is to cope with the demands of the new situation, to process multiple losses and painful experiences and to develop a perspective in their lives.

Women find a safe place here where they can

find peace and understanding conversation partners
get support for coping with everyday problems
Experience strength and encouragement in exchange with other women
Learn coping strategies for dealing with the consequences of trauma.
Support for own goals and plans.
Body work, yoga, etc. contribute to mental stabilization.
The group sessions are supplemented by individual discussions as needed.

Time: Monday from 18:00 – 20:30.

Individual preliminary talks and, if necessary, further individual talks are offered.

Costs: The offer is free of charge for the women! (The offer is currently supported by a grant from the Senate for 5 months).

Direction: Rawaa Alsamman, counselor, Gestalt therapist i.t.

Location: InKontakt Gestaltinstitut Berlin, Gleimstraße 37, 10437 Berlin

Gestalt therapy is a unique therapeutic concept: helping people in psychological distress and supporting them in regaining their zest for life while combining helpful, non-self-destructive rebellion with necessary adaptation that is just barely acceptable for the organism is no easy task.

In his lecture, the emergence of Gestalt therapy will be illuminated as a lively confrontation between the founding parents and the biographical, historical and cultural circumstances affecting them.
