Marten Bos – a series of workshops for Russian-speaking migrants

Why exactly did we invite Marten Bos to our series of offline meetings in a “therapy for therapists” format for people forced to migrate:

  • Marten Bos impresses with his openness to diversity and new experiences. His curiosity about life is inspiring and energizing, adding pleasure and vigor.
  • Marten Bos has a clear position. He is definitely not the “generally for peace, for love” type. He knows something more about the meaning and value of humanistic concepts, which today float generously in many declarations of politicians, psychologists, just people….
  • Marten Bos values life and freedom, he does not overwhelm you with his experience and competence, but gives you the freedom to look for something important in contact only for you.
  • Marten Bos is a traveler, vagabond and inventor. He travels a lot around the world, teaching, observing, researching. He comes up with his own tools as a result of observing people and groups – for example, Marten uses “diversity maps” in his practice and works through a participant’s life story and self-presentation.
  • According to participants in meetings with Marten, the space around him is transformed into a special context full of inspiration and creativity.

Applications for the series of workshops for Russian-speaking migrants are accepted through a form available on the event website.
