Registrations for the published workshops are now possible by email.
Workshop I: "Out of the head, into the body"
Dates: 01 March and 12 April 2024 from 10:00 - 15:00 hrs each
Location: online via Zoom
Max. number of participants: 10
Speaker: Dr. Pamela Geldmacher
Seminar language: German
Brief description of contents:
Dr. Pamela Geldmacher's workshop invites all participants to embark together on the path towards more resilience and strengthening of resources instead of constantly running after the here and now. One focus within the workshop time will be on a sustainable pause culture within academic work phases. In a world that is becoming increasingly interconnected through digitalisation, 'taking a break' must be relearned in order to be effective in the long term. The fact is: one's own resources cannot be maintained in a balanced way in the long term without high-quality break phases. But how do we manage to take breaks in our demanding everyday university life that sustainably strengthen us?
Answers to these and subsequent questions will be provided in this online workshop, which will be followed by a follow-up in which the status quo will be reflected on and deepened. It is a practice-oriented format that implements tools from the areas of personal development, time and stress management and mental coaching as well as breathing, body and mindfulness exercises. The aim is to contour the current state of resources and make self-determined adjustments based on this in order to move forward in a more resilient, motivated and powerful way.
About the speaker:
Dr Pamela Geldmacher holds a doctorate in media and cultural studies, is a trained audio-visual media saleswoman, breathing and movement teacher, lecturer, mental coach and facilitator. After more than 13 years at university, she now accompanies people inside and outside institutions and companies in the areas of break culture, stress management, mental coaching and breath, body and resource work. Her work is based on the guiding principle: "Out of the head, into the body" - in order to be able to become more effective in our knowledge society.
