SUMMARY:Gemeinschaftsbildung mit Fasten und Meditation / Community Building with Fasting and Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Der Prozess der Gemeinschaftsbildung nach Scott Peck ermöglicht ein tiefes Eintauchen in die Begegnung mit dir selbst. Aus diesem tiefen Selbstkontakt entsteht mit Hilfe der Leitsätze der Gemeinschaftsbildung eine neue Form des Zuhörens\, die Begegnungen werden authentischer – dies ist die Grundlage\, mit den anderen Teilnehmenden Gemeinschaft zu bilden. Wir werden viel gemeinsame Zeit im Kreis haben\, um die 4 Phasen des Prozesses zu erfahren. Zeit\, um Masken und nicht mehr passende Gewohnheiten zu erkennen\, anzunehmen und sie Schritt für Schritt abzulegen. Damit wird der Raum für neue Lebenserfahrungen im Alltag geöffnet. Das Format wird ein Community Building Skills Training mit viel Kreiszeit sein. \nFasten und Meditation werden uns auf dieser gemeinsamen Reise unterstützen. Durch die Reduktion der Ernährung wird der Geist wach und der Körper gereinigt.\nWenn du möchtest\, kannst du diese Woche auch für einen digitalen Detox nutzen und deine elektronischen Geräte (Telefon\, Tablets\, Computer\, Smart-Watch…) eine Woche lang ausschalten. \nMeditation führt in die Stille\, in einen tiefen Kontakt mit dir selbst und dem Urgrund des Seins. Wichtige Lebensthemen können sich zeigen\, eine Standortbestimmung\, und vielleicht zeigt sich eine neue Ausrichtung für dein Wirken in dieser Welt. \n  \nThe process of community building according to Scott Peck allows for a deep immersion in the encounter with yourself. From this deep self-contact\, with the help of the guiding principles of community building\, a new form of listening emerges\, and encounters become more authentic—this is the foundation for building community with the other participants. We will spend a lot of time together in a circle to experience the 4 phases of the process. Time to recognize masks and habits that no longer serve us\, to accept them\, and to shed them step by step. This opens up space for new life experiences in everyday life. The format will be a Community Building Skills Training with plenty of circle time. \nFasting and meditation will support us on this journey. By reducing our food intake\, the mind becomes alert and the body is cleansed. If you wish\, you can also use this week for a digital detox and turn off your electronic devices (phone\, tablets\, computer\, smartwatch…) for a week. \nMeditation leads to stillness\, to a deep connection with yourself and the source of being. Important life themes may emerge\, an opportunity to assess where you stand\, and perhaps a new direction for you being creative in this world will reveal itself. \n(Translation with Deep)

SUMMARY:Workshop: Community Building Skills Training (CBST)
DESCRIPTION:“There can be no vulnerability without risk; there can be no community without vulnerability; there can be no peace\, and ultimately no life\, without community.” Scott Peck\, author of The Road Less Travelled and The Different Drum \nWhat is Community Building? Community Building is a group dynamics method developed by American psychiatrist M. Scott Peck\, and today disseminated by Edward Groody\, founder of Community Building International (CBI). According to CBI’s definition\, true community is an experience that is currently rare in everyday life. This experience involves deep communication\, connection\, honesty\, vulnerability\, and a sense of belonging. It also requires learning and practicing certain skills\, principles\, and ways of interacting with one another. Edward Groody defines true community as “an experience of authentic connection\, unusual safety\, and extraordinary respect.” \nGoals of the workshop \n\nCreate authentic community\nDevelop authentic and non-violent communication\nPractice mindfulness and emotional intelligence\nUnderstand human differences\nOpen space for silence\, sharing\, and genuine encounter\nDeepen spiritual experience\n\nHow does it work? \n“How strange that we should ordinarily feel compelled to hide our wounds when we are all wounded! Community requires the ability to expose our wounds and weaknesses to our fellow creatures. It also requires the ability to be affected by the wounds of others… But even more important is the love that arises among us when we share\, both ways\, our woundedness.” Scott Peck \nThe workshop Community Building Skills Training isn’t therapy or a discussion. Through shared circles and practical exercises\, participants develop communication skills and deepen their connection with themselves\, with others\, and with the spiritual dimension. \nThe group typically moves through four stages of community formation and development: \n\nPseudo-community\nChaos\nEmptiness\nCommunity\n\nThe experience can sometimes be emotionally intense\, so we ask more sensitive individuals or those currently in therapy to assess their participation or consult a healthcare professional. The facilitators provide structure and guidance and ensure group safety\, but do not evaluate or direct participants’ personal experiences. \nThe workshop lasts 2.5 days and requires full attendance. \nWho is it for? The workshop is designed for those interested in developing deeper and more authentic relationships\, fostering open communication in a safe and respectful environment\, while deepening their personal development and spiritual experience. It is also aimed at those who wish to support others in this process or who seek\, within their teams\, organisations\, and communities\, ways to deepen collaboration and coexistence. The workshop will be held in Portuguese\, with English translation. English-speaking participants are also welcome; translation will be provided both into English and Portuguese. \nVenue – Biovilla: The workshop will take place at Biovilla\, a Portuguese cooperative dedicated to sustainable development and ecological\, social\, and economic regeneration\, located in the Arrábida Natural Park\, close to Palmela city. \nAccommodation: The venue offers triple and quadruple rooms with private bathrooms. \nMeals: Meals (vegetarian for all participants) are fully included in the participation fee and cover breakfast\, lunch\, dinner\, and coffee breaks. \nPrice:  The price includes: \n\nall workshop costs\ntwo nights of accommodation at Biovilla (Friday 23 to Sunday 25 October)\nmeals (2 dinners\, 3 lunches\, and coffee breaks)\n\nEarly Bird – Registration until 30 June. Registration after 30 June: It is possible to pay in two installments of 50%\, the first at registration and the second by 30 September 2026. \nREGISTRATION: Click the red button below to complete the initial registration form.
