WORKSHOP with psychologist, journalist and author Dimitra Didangelou
“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”
Albert Einstein
A workshop that combines the love of writing, nature and personal growth.
The basic idea is to learn how to write freely, without the fear of criticism and find your authentic voice asking for help from nature.
During the workshop, we are going to do some walking, extensive listening to our inner voice and copious expressive writing.
What is expressive writing – How it works
In expressive writing, specific techniques are used in order to express feelings and thoughts. By allowing emotions and life experiences to flow upon paper we bring balance back into our life and promote mental wellbeing.
There is no need for previous writing experience.

Testimonials
Outstanding experience, which helps you to discover a new part of yourself.
R.N., Switzerland
Through expressive writing I gained breath and power. I learned to see situations and myself from a whole different perspective, more intrinsically and hopefully.
N.K., Luxembourg
Freedom, revelation, catharsis. I felt like I got the pen down to my soul and then I imprinted it onto paper. And then, I faced the truth that finally was inside me. I saw, on the paper, me, in my most authentic form.

It touches the soul and liberates emotions…
