Psycho-educational workshops

This workshop is happening at the end of the week. By this point, guests already have a broader understanding about the topic of the week, therefore it is possible to dive deeper into the week’s topic and promote an embodiment of the tools, mindsets and practices presented during the week.

For that reason, this workshop’s intention is to promote more than an intellectual understanding, it aims to promote possible ways of integrating the concepts and practices in the guests daily lives and cultivate awareness about their thoughts, behaviours, choices and emotions.

In this interactive and dynamic workshop, we’ll explore happiness from a fresh perspective. We will guide you in tapping into the inherent natural resources within your brain and body.

These resources hold the key to unlocking your potential for experiencing positive emotions, which, in turn, can fortify your immune system, foster emotional balance, and enhance your resilience to life’s stressors.

Throughout the workshop, we’ll unveil daily tools enabling you to construct personalised self-boosting and self-soothing strategies. Join us on this journey to discover new pathways to joy and well-being.

This workshop is about creating a deeper understanding of this quite popular construct called Mindfulness which refers to focus, awareness, insight, attitude, and presence.

Nevertheless, it’s also essential to understand how mindfulness is used within the health context to support balance and well-being and how the practice can support and sustain your transformation process after your journey at New Life Portugal.

Transitions are an undeniable part of life. Life is full of unpredictable events and changes that occur without us being able to control them. Accepting transitions is not always an easy process, it requires understanding of the transition process and its effect on the individual.

This workshop brings new insights and perspectives every week, it is a great foundation for a deeper understanding of our own resistance to change or difficult finding directions when life forces transitions upon us (for instance change of career, divorce, etc).

Lastly, it also reinforces tools, practices and coping strategies to better adapt to change and maintain resilience

These workshops will help to integrate the qualities of the formal practices into everyday life and navigate daily challenges with wisdom. Depending on the theme of the week, the focus is directed on different aspects of our life.

It is the first workshop that presents the topic of the week. Therefore, it is an opportunity to deconstruct the meaning of our themes and enhance curiosity and reflection. This workshop is evidence-based, which means that there are theoretic models from Psychology that support the content of the workshop.
