Earthquake update: two events for the mothers affected by the earthquake

We had already mentioned that our team of volunteers, at the request of some mothers of Ekinci students, had planned two events for them: first a discussion about the stress everyone is experiencing and how to deal with it, also with the aid of meditation, and then a yoga class.

They were a real success! About twenty mothers took part and there was a wonderful moment of sharing, in which the main elements of the condition of stress emerged, such as uncertainty about the future but also the trauma of the earthquake, which continues to be the invisible promoter of psychophysical and emotional instability. After sharing the various perceptions on the one hand, and the useful approaches for overcoming this condition on the other, seeking out and clarifying the context of unpredictability of human life, the possibility of transforming challenges into opportunities and of growing in the process, the team meditated together with them. It was supposed to be a meditation of just ten minutes, but it actually lasted twenty. After the meditation there was a class of yoga asanas in which, besides teaching the various yogic postures and techniques, the participants shared their health problems, and thus learned the remedies offered by a more sentient lifestyle.

Work is also continuing in Tavla on the construction of the showers. In the coming days there will also be inspections of some houses, to verify their actual structural condition.
