Experiencing loss


Experiencing loss – speakers: Dominika Plisiecka and Małgorzata Cynker

In today world, dominated by progress and development, loss is an uncomfortable. At the same time, the number of clients who come for therapy having no resources to cope with the everyday losses associated with the process of life… loss of work, health, relationships is increasing. Simultaneously, the prevailing cult of self-development often overlooks closure, completion and the fertile vacuum as essential stages of the life cycle.

We lack rites of passage that support the end as part of the beginning. We lack the ability to be with inevitable suffering. Developing awareness changing and inheriting loss as a natural part of life is a burning issue nowadays. Recognising the everydayness of loss and the need to experience it fully is the core message of our speech.
