Caught in a Storm: Eight secrets of intense emotions and how to cope

4 weekly sessions, starting 29th of April

Have you ever felt swept away by someone else’s strong emotions, or by your own?

Intense feelings can feel like an instant shift of weather: unpredictable, overwhelming, and hard to navigate. Yet, seen from the eye of the hurricane, emotions carry vital messages, and when you decode them, a path opens to a field of connection.

Would you love to:

  • Understand what happens in the brain and body during emotional storms?

  • Respond with relevance and compassion when others express strong feelings?

  • Recognize and regulate your own emotional reactions?

  • Build resilience and deepen relationships, even in challenging moments?

Come join us to get equipped with tools that will help you respond to all kinds of emotional storms - at work, at home, or in your own head.

Through short theoretical input, exercises, practical tools, and close guidance, you’ll leave this day with increased confidence and calm when emotions run high.

Who is this for?

Facilitators, parents, teachers, spouses, or anyone who wants to ride the waves of emotional intensity toward meaningful connection and to contribute to peace when a relationship feels more like a battlefield. 

What to Expect

  • Engaging presentations with practical insights

  • Interactive exercises to apply what you learn

  • Gentle, supportive atmosphere for exploration and growth

  • Tools you can use immediately in your personal and professional life

Bonus: Expect your personal window of welcome for emotions to expand during this day, so that you can meet your stormy self more balanced and with growing choice of how to react.

Why Join Us?

Because emotions are never the enemy, they’re our compass. Learn how to read them, respond to them, and rather than seeking shelter, stay grounded when the storm hits.
