We begin something; we weave our thread into a net of relations. What becomes of it, we never know. It is a gamble. And I would say that this venture is only possible on the basis of trust in people. What I mean is a hard to define precisely but fundamental trust in the humanness of all humans.

Hannah Arendt in an interview with Günter Gaus, 1964

Communicating between Human Beings

In Artistic Dialogue Seminars an experimental field is being offered where we learn the skills and capacities to become creative and open-minded dialogue partners and where we learn to create an atmosphere of respect and trust in differing situations. Being able to have good and creative dialogues and places of conversations where we can come to solutions and innovations together, is one of the most crucial skills that we will need for creating a future in which we want to live and thrive in.

In Seminar and Workshops there will be individual and group exercises where you have the opportunity to reflect deeply with yourself and others how you can develop your own dialogical attitudes – that will serve you to become a good dialogue partner – not only in group settings – but in the rest of your life. You will have the opportunity to learn how to embody simple ways of deep listening, open-minded awareness and ‘seeing yourself and others’ in a process of exploration.  -And you will learn how to tap into the creative and artistic force in us that loves to find solutions, that loves to build trust and that finds joy in new and do-able ideas. You will learn how to mould this creative force into clearer ways of communication and how to express your deepest values in life.

I offer these Artistic Dialogue Seminars to young people and adults who not only want to learn how to tap together into the unknown and into the explosive resource of creativity, freedom and innovation but who also just want to learn how to facilitate good dialogue and how to participate in life with in-depth conversation skills that bring us as human beings together.
