About the Workshop: 
During these three days, we want to connect with those inner sources through which we as individuals can become creative. The Goddess of Wisdom, Sophia, will stand by our side. We ask who she is and how we can connect with her essence and her impulses. In doing so, we want to focus primarily on her presence in and significance for our time.  The focus is on your own personal questions and your path towards the mysteries of existence.

Sophia surprises us. She often reveals herself in ways that shake up familiar ideas, opinions and beliefs. One can get the impression that a new way of listening is needed to understand her language and messages. Her closeness to human individuality is unmistakable.

The seminar includes introductions to Sophianic beings, but is primarily aimed at encouraging and supporting independent practice. All of this takes place at a leisurely pace. Meditation, nature walks, exchanges and discussions are elements of the joint work.
