Beyond words: a silent communication experience

Workshop (W11)

There are situations in which presence, active listening and empathic understanding between two or more people may be expressed in a non-verbal form. Our body will speak for us, in silence, allowing us to discover our innate ability to communicate. I invite you to an experience based on play and interaction with the Other, pillars of my work for more than ten years with people without verbal language. The results of my work and my own personal experience have taught me the infinite richness of our full presence with the other person and have made me more aware of communication beyond words, with the certainty that in silence nothing is 'missing', on the contrary, it is precisely there, in this absence of words, that we are able to establish the deepest bonds. 

Experiential workshop.
