Event Wise

Aims & objectives

The Event Wise Training is a personal and social development training. We make use of methods that follow the natural human behavior, which work in the same way like learning to walk, taste and feel. We call it learning by experience.
Communication with yourself and others is essential to get out the maximum of this training. In this training we learn how to benefit from experiences in our life in an enjoyable and dynamic way.

Target group & international/intercultural composition of the group & team

41 participants from 16 countries: Bulgaria, Germany, the Netherlands, Greece, England, Italy, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Croatia, Romania, Palestine and Jordan

Training methods used & main activities

The theory of the training is based on the observation that when we are able to creatively choose our response to what is happening, we see life in a different way compared with our state of mind when we are stressed, driven or struggling to get things under control. This way of being is more common than you might think: EEG measurements of brain patterns (a test that measures and records the electrical activity of your brain) show that we are typically in a driven state for most of our waking day. The main skill taught in the training is the ability to shift your state whenever you choose and encounter the vision of life that gives you energy.

Outcomes of the activity

The training offers you a series of process skills with specific applications and each one gives you an opportunity to experience a shift of perspective on everyday life whenever it is used. They include the following:
> Strengthening the will - an exercise of personal discipline in which you give your word to do (or not do) a variety of things during the training. Allow you to see the pattern of your unconscious thinking, and step through it to create what you really want.
> Expanding your personal authority - a process that allows you to take a stand on your true yes or your true no at key moments in your life, without disconnecting from yourself or others.
> Truth-telling - the process of verifying your interpretations of events and clarifying the truth of what is happening, as it happens.
> Choosing - the practice of taking your stand on the way you personally want to be in your life whatever the circumstances around you.
> Challenging old beliefs - a biodynamic physical exercise that enables you to break free of limiting beliefs you may have been holding about yourself, others and life.
> Practicing forgiveness - demonstrates why resentment affects us more than those we resent and teaches you an effective way to let go of it.
> Forgiving ourselves - a way to access accusations and demands you may be holding against yourself and experience the freedom of letting them go.
