Program Description

Making a home is a delicate and continuous process we all engage in throughout our lives. Our desire to feel safe, to belong, to find comfort, and yet to remain free and authentic individuals creates a constant tension and imbalance. Going far beyond our usual perception of home, this unique 4-week program inquires deeply into our human nature and the connections we form with our environment. It provides a transformative space where individuals can deeply explore and redefine their understanding of “home” in a rapidly changing world. Designed by urbanist and artist Yoav Goldwein, this program delves into the philosophy of home as portrayed by the great philosophers of modern history while exploring our own narratives of home with methods from Narrative Therapy and Process Work. This particular combination, together with embodiment practices by guest facilitators, offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the personal and collective stories that shape our identities.
