The group is an important phenomenon in our lives and has many forms, natural, such as family and friends, or artificial, such as the school class or work group. Its basic elements are the mutual interpersonal relationships and the interdependence of its members, who usually meet in a place for a certain time. The members constitute a dynamic whole, which determines the satisfaction of their goals.

Encounter Groups are a social invention of the humanist psychologist Carl Rogers against the feeling of alienation and loneliness in general, and satisfy the psychological need of every integrated person for all kinds of close, meaningful relationships and genuine communication with spontaneous expression of emotions. Encounter Groups are based on the non-interventional Person-Centered Approach of Carl Rogers and have as necessary and sufficient conditions the development of a therapeutic relationship with the patients and the offer of unconditional acceptance, authenticity and empathetic understanding by the therapist.

The goal is for the therapist or co-therapists to understand the clients from their own frame of reference and to facilitate them in finding their own solutions to their personal issues, in which they themselves are considered experts. The therapist or co-therapists fully trust the tendency of the group members to reach the fullness of themselves. During the process of the meeting group, each member of the group can become a helping factor for himself and his co-therapists.

The series of experiential meetings “Effective Parenting – Communication, Connection, Respect” is based on the principles of Thomas Gordon and offers parents a space where they can explore their relationship with their children, but also with themselves. Gordon’s approach, which is based on active listening, authentic communication and collaborative conflict resolution, helps parents cultivate a relationship of trust, security and mutual respect. In the meetings we analyze the communication patterns that often make everyday life difficult, we learn how to recognize the real needs behind children’s behaviors and how to express our own boundaries without punishment, guilt or authoritarianism. Gordon’s philosophy functions as a practical and at the same time deeply human guide to parenting, which is based on connection and not control.

The sessions are highly experiential and combine psychoeducation, role-playing exercises, creative expression, reflection and sharing circles. Parents practice skills such as active listening, empathy, conflict management without winners and the formulation of “I messages” so that they can respond with more calmness and clarity to the challenges of everyday life. At the same time, they explore their own childhood experiences and the patterns that they unconsciously transfer to their relationship with their children, opening up space for change, awareness and personal growth. At the end of the cycle, each parent holds a practical and emotional “map”, which strengthens self-confidence, understanding and joy in the parenting journey.

In this group, members are invited to get in touch with the inner child within them, to talk to it, to acquire pleasant feelings about it and to become one with it. The inner child is essentially their most core and true self.

Members return to their childhood years, to resolve conflicts or to appreciate situations in order to feel gratitude for who they are, to accept and empathize with their true self, and to forgive them.

This group also helps parents to better understand their children and to communicate more effectively with them.

The series of experiential psychotherapy sessions “Kintsugi – The Art of Reconstructing Your Life” is inspired by the philosophy of the Japanese art, which transforms cracks into golden lines of strength. Participants are invited to see their personal cracks not as weaknesses, but as signs of transformation and rebirth. In each session, we explore psychotherapeutic stages that correspond to the kintsugi process: the recognition of the trauma, the care of the fragments, the selection of the “golden” elements that give new meaning, and the recomposition of the self with more wisdom, resilience and tenderness. The philosophy of kintsugi functions as a mirror of self-compassion, acceptance and inner freedom, inviting us to see that beauty is not found in perfection, but in the truth of our experience.

The sessions combine psychotherapeutic exploration and experiential practice through creative expression, symbolic rituals, mindfulness exercises, sharing circles and a personal reflection journal. Participants will have the opportunity to process their personal “cracks”, recognize the strengths born from them and build a new life narrative, more coherent, bright and true. The circle functions as a safe, warm framework, where vulnerability becomes a source of connection and the recomposition of the self becomes an act of creation. At the end, each person holds their own “golden map” of personal transformation, a practical and symbolic path towards resilience, self-love and inner peace.

This series of psychoeducational and experiential meetings utilizes the wisdom of Saint-Exupéry’s iconic hero to invite us to a more authentic, slow and meaningful relationship with ourselves and the world. Through the childlike gaze —curiosity, imagination, innocence and the ability to see the essence— participants will explore ways of being that are often lost in adulthood. The book and the symbols of The Little Prince, such as the Rose, travel and observation, are transformed into practical life attitudes: cultivating relationships, caring, presence, slowing down, creativity and kindness. At the same time, the need to free ourselves from the judgment of others and social expectations, which distance us from our inner truth, is highlighted, opening space for an everyday life, where simplicity, authenticity and freedom become the foundations of mental well-being.

In this context, the meetings combine a psychotherapeutic approach and experiential learning through observation and mindfulness exercises, creative expression (painting, writing ...), sharing circles and a personal reflection diary. Participants will have the opportunity to cultivate inner peace, a deeper connection with themselves and others, as well as a more tender and coherent relationship with their everyday lives. The circle functions as a mirror of returning to the essence, offering a personal “life guide” inspired by the Little Prince and reminding that “the essence is invisible to the eyes” — but always available to anyone who chooses to see with the heart.

In modern times, the anxiety and pressure from daily obligations and worries in various areas of their lives require new ways of management, so that each person can experience pleasant emotions, develop and be creative.

The term Mindfulness means remaining focused on the present, in the "here and now", observing what is happening around us and within us without a critical attitude, but with acceptance.

It is a skill that each person can cultivate through simple exercises.

• Physical exercises, with which we become aware of our body and its relationship with the environment

• Mental exercises for concentration and attention

• Exercises for identifying and accepting emotions and internal sensations

• Exercises for observing the environment and our relationships with people

• Both in the smooth flow of everyday life and in critical moments of life, with these exercises we gradually create an attitude of life, which has direct benefits for the quality of life as a whole:

• Cultivating a constant sense of peace

• Improving memory and concentration

• Better time management

• Clarity of mind

• Seeing things as they really are and accepting the present, which leads to a strengthening of the feeling of gratitude

• Stability of emotional state and association with other people with feelings of empathy, acceptance, honesty, compassion and true interest.

• Psychosomatic balance
