Workshop: “The future written in golden letters” -
Project for transformation and healing on 9th November 2008, on the seventieth anniversary of the Reichsprogromnacht
On 9 November 2008 space for the reconciliation and healing of Germany will be created in a public intercultural and interfaith ritual and event in Berlin. In the workshop the participants will hear a report by the project’s chairman, Bernd Lenfers: German karma – and that which is hidden within it: German charisma for peace and reconciliation in the world – is represented in his biography as it is in those of many Jewish and Christian Germans up to the present day.
Bernd Lenfers Gruenenfelder shows how our “Yes” to accepting responsibility in both our personal as well as our collective histories opens a spiritual area for inspiration and the shaping of the future.
The participants will be involved actively in discussing the central questions of the project:
What would happen…
…if we consciously feel the wounds of history?
…if we recognize our own consternation?
…if we forgive?
…if we contribute to the healing and experience healing ourselves?
Methods: Report on one’s experiences, work with light, resonance from the participants.
The gestalt of collective transformation and healing will be discussed and practiced with the participants.
