A full and meaningful week, weekly recap below! ✨

❤️ Concluded Reconnect: Kathrin and I's first project together, and it was so interesting to see our vision to support the development of awareness and emotional resilience come alive with this programme. One pod, four participants, and such deep sharing.

🏔️ Getting Ready for Bansko: Spent time with the Coliving Hub team getting ready for Bansko Nomad Fest and the Coliving Gathering.

🎭 Wrapped up two applied theatre programmes: one for social emotional learning through drama with Ouch Theatre, and the other English through drama with Euromentor SL

One participant this week something that stayed with me (translated from Mandarin):

"Through drama, we can touch something more human, and from there, empathy and change can grow."

What a great way to end the week (and month) 🌿

Leaving you with this freeze frame of my participants this week, which encapsulates how I'm ending the week - Inspired! Enriched! Joyful! Fulfilled!
