Sign up for the workshop«Every time I finish one of these sessions, I don’t feel like the same person who started it.»
We’re in touch with everyone, at all hours, and we feel lonelier. Arguments flare up fast: at home, at work, in group chats. Being tired does the rest.
You can learn to be good with people. Nobody taught us at school, that’s all.
That’s what this day is for.
You notice what you feel while it’s happening, not three hours later. And you react less on autopilot.
When a conversation heats up you stay in it, without attacking and without disappearing.
The conversation you’ve been putting off for months scares you less. You have the words to start it.
You spend a day with people who really listen. And you can see them again.
A one-day interactive workshop in a small group, led by Michele and Nora. There’s very little theory. Mostly you try things out: games, exercises in pairs, guided conversations and time in a circle. You learn by doing, and go home with simple things you can use on Monday.
Non serve esperienza e non è terapia: è un allenamento guidato da Nora e Michele, in un gruppo che si prende cura dello spazio comune. Ogni proposta è un invito, puoi sempre dire di no. E puoi venire anche senza conoscere nessuno.

From people who came to our evenings and online sessions, translated from Italian.
«It’s like a small safe harbour. You know you can talk with people who communicate with the same care that those of us who want authentic relationships would like to find in the world.»
«I’m taking home the way the others listened. I’ll try to “perform” less in my relationships, and pay more attention to the other person and the present moment than to my own thoughts and my fear of being judged.»
«I was sceptical at first, but in the end I liked it a lot. I liked the open discussions: you rarely get the chance to have them in a constructive way.»
«I’ll definitely come back: this session gave me back hope and enthusiasm.»
«This authentic, judgement-free space made me braver about opening up to other people.»
These are the basic relational skills. Everything else builds on them.
Really being there, with your body and your attention, before you say a word. Noticing what happens inside you while you’re with the other person.
What changes. You notice what you feel while it’s happening, not three hours later. You react less on autopilot, and the person in front of you feels seen.
Listening without planning your reply, without fixing, without judging. Saying back what you heard and checking you got it right.
What changes. People tell you more, because you don’t rush to fix things. Fewer misunderstandings and more trust, at home and at work.
Saying what you feel and think as “I”, with courage and without blaming. Talking about your own experience instead of other people’s.
What changes. You say what you think without blaming and without disappearing. The things you haven’t said stop piling up.

Yes, most people do. You work in pairs and small groups that change through the day: by lunchtime you’ll know someone.
It happens, and it’s fine. Every exercise is an invitation: you can say no, watch, or do it your own way. You don’t have to speak in front of the group if you don’t want to.
No, and it doesn’t replace therapy. It’s hands-on practice in relational skills. If you’re going through a hard time, please see a psychologist or psychotherapist.
Yes. We ask for the details when you sign up. A company can pay too.
Come and practise for better relationships.
