The news that I had breast cancer and the treatments that followed were a real shock on every level of my life; an earthquake that shook every aspect of my existence. A battle against illness that I lived through in great solitude. Withdrawal, loss of confidence and suffering that I couldn’t express to anyone.<\/p>
The opening of the OTIUM Center in June 2018 was a lifesaver for me! A wonderful place that offered me treatment and an alternative approach to coping with my illness; a chance to reconnect with a social and spiritual life. This is the starting point for the “RESILIENCE” discussion group with Boaz Feldman. I was immediately struck by the incredible benevolence and wonderful humanity that reigned during these sessions. Right from the start, there’s a real synergy between people, creative cooperation and a deep sense of solidarity, providing the ideal breeding ground for real group therapy. I feel totally confident and I can finally express myself without fear of judgement and with the certainty of being understood and supported.<\/p>
I no longer feel like a poor fragmented victim but a total being! The group’s attentiveness, tolerance and humanity lift me up, enriching me with a new energy that enables me to transform traumas into life experience and resume the course of my personal evolution. The word “resilience” becomes a living reality. I can take note of my wounds and emotions to overcome them and move towards greater happiness. Together.<\/p>
Rebuilding. Together.
Boaz gives us, with all his heart, a space of calm, well-being and above all freedom, with respect and a contagious joy that emanates from his person and inspires, encourages and uplifts me. Strengthens me.<\/p>
I’m immensely grateful to him, to this wonderful group and to the OTIUM Center for making these meetings possible.<\/p>
