The Compassion & Honesty Process – Heidelberg – Japanese Arboretum – Free event
“A guided group procedure that takes us into a magical world where things can happen that don’t usually happen in waking consciousness. What is hidden is uncovered and what has been blocking us is integrated and gives us new strength, clarity and focus. New energy is released to walk our very own path and leave the beaten track, discover our true nature and have the courage to be ourselves.”
What we will do and what will happen
There is a phrase in the bible that says:
“The truth will set you free!”
Although it was probably meant differently I can’t agree more. The truth sets us free if we honestly and self-responsibly share the only truth we really have access to. The truth that is completely our own. Our feelings and emotions. They give us hints and direction and respond to a fulfilled need or a need that hasn’t been fulfilled. Through anger, sadness, joy, shame, guilt, fear and helplessness.
“The Compassion & Honesty Process” is about telling the truth regarding how we feel and about what comes up in relation with the other participants. Do we feel comfortable in the group? Does it feel threatening? Challenging? Do we have judgements and beliefs about the other participant’s attitude towards us? Do we feel inhibited? Blocked? Ashamed? Do we feel expectations weighing on us? Do we have the courage to speak up? Or do we want to hide and disappear?
We can express all that and also check our assumptions with the other ones and participate in a process that dissolves our projections. Projection means the movie in our mind that creates an overlay on reality and that assumes a lot about the other one’s attitude towards us. Which is mostly mistaken.
The way we keep our traumas alive is by constantly superposing or projecting our mostly mistaken perception of danger on top of reality thus keeping our nervous system in constant arousal.
And honesty and vulnerability is the way out because when light is shed on theses structures and are met with humility, curiosity and compassion they lose their power.
