How can we talk about death? (Workshop)
Presentation language: Russian
Workshop
for specialists working in the field of "man-man" (psychologists,
psychotherapists, social workers, teachers), as well as for everyone interested
in how to learn how to work with the experiences associated with death and
dying, to find ways to comprehend this phenomenon . This is a training from the
author's program "Death and Immortality in the Circle of Human Life, Being and
Existence", which was implemented for mediators at the 5th Industrial Biennale
of Contemporary Art in August 2019. An important task of this program was the
ability of the participants to "be" with the theme of death and talk
about death as ecologically as possible. Workshop developed in the format
conversational practice and exercises - in pairs, small groups and individually.
During the workshop, participants are given the opportunity to learn how to
work with emotions associated with death and dying, to consciously reflect the
reactions that have appeared, and also to talk about death with themselves, the
other, the world as a whole, and at the same time remain themselves.
