Which of these gifts you’d choose to own\, which ones would you rather let go of\, or alter? Or have something in your family histories bother you? How would you choose to come to terms with these?  We will explore these questions in a secure and supportive circle with the tools of guided meditation\, reflective-writing\, (optional) story-sharing\, and identify the symbols of the gifts from your ancestors you’d choose to carry with you. We will then make these symbols into jewelry-pieces you will take home.  Please note: This workshop is designed with the principles of psychological care and reflective writing in mind\, among other influencing concepts. However\, it should not be seen as a substitute for professional therapy\, nor does it equate to the personalized care provided by a licensed therapist. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n This event is part of the “Caring Histories: Asian Caregivers in Berlin (1950-present day)” project at Mental Health Arts Space.
