Description
Building bridges of belonging – Dealing with loneliness. Creating connections
with Jochen Kleres
Loneliness can have different faces. ome find it difficult to find any contacts. For others it may be difficult to make lasting connections, even and especially in a city like Berlin that offers so many opportunities to meet others. Some may have people around them but still feel the sting of loneliness, even so in intimate relationships. Still others yearn for intimate connections but have difficulties finding them.
This group offers a facilitated space to explore feelings of loneliness and how they affect us. Together we will support one another in searching for, and experimenting with, ways of dealing with loneliness and moving towards more fulfilling connections. We will use methods from creative therapies for this.
If you’re looking to understand and navigate your own feelings of loneliness, and eager to forge deeper connections with others, we invite you to join us in this workshop.
Everybody can feel lonely sometimes
As human beings we have a natural longing for social connection and support by others. Queer people have an even higher risk of suffering from chronic loneliness due to individual and structural forms of discrimination.
