Second meeting – Air Element

Central theme:

Individuality (within a social group) and communication

Everyone is unique! Just as we humans are different from each other, our dogs are also individuals with different sizes, colors, personalities, natures, preferences and temperaments.

We will appreciate the diversity and authenticity of animals and understand that each being, both animals and us, is special and unique and deserves love and respect. Let us discover together how we can be unique and how this relates to the group in a healthy way.

Example of an activity:

We join together in the circle. Each participant chooses a dog, which they would like to talk about later: “What makes it unique?”

Evelyn Veronica asks each participant to walk through the space and intuitively pick up a natural object with which she or he feels a connection. It’s not a mental decision, but intuitive, spontaneous – you only have 2 minutes to find “your” natural object.

Everyone asks this object: “What makes you unique?” Listen to the answer that come from the heart of the object – without judging! – and return to the circle.

In the circle, each one shows the object, one by one, and speaks about how the object “spoke to me”.

Then we reflect together on what it is to be unique, and the value of each quality.
