Pillars
Welcome with Love
The person who is suffering or with emotional disorder is often criticized and not understood by society, family, by friends, not even by themselves. . In the NGO, we warmly welcome our participants, with no judgement, accepting them as they are. This loving embrace heals and starts our therapeutic process, nurturing the person who is in distress.
Gratitude
When the participant feels welcomed and commits regularly with our practices, they manage to find an inner harmony, that allows them to see beyond suffering. At that moment, the feeling of gratitude is worked, This feeling is good for health, making people more resilient, sociable and healthy, so that they can recognize the opportunities and experiences of their life as a form of learning.
Integration
Most people who are in pain get disconnect, isolate themselves for not being understood, walk away to protect themselves and to not be criticized or judged. By promoting the integration, our activities allow the participant to create a sense of belonging. finding a welcoming environment with generous listening, being able to identify themselvers with the others's speech and with their own emotions, it's a transformation!. The exercise of speaking, listening and understanding, validate their pain, so they feel part of a whole.
Purpose
Our practices/therapies work on love, gratitude and integration. With the exercise of these pillars, the participant will be able to reconnect and discover their existential purpose. Our goal is to show them the way to find something that makes sense in their life., that feeds their spirituality and joy of living. We believe that the purpose of each one is linked to the action of doing good to others., to the animals, in nature, showing them the importance they have of being in this planet at the present moment, to transform it into a better world.
Encouraging SOLIDARITY is the main point worked with the participants, who are motivated to engage in entities, associations and foundations, all non-profit. They can also volunteer in our Espaço SER and, that way, they complete the final healing process established by their therapists and/or psychiatrists. Nothing is more rewarding than helping others.! We will thus be on the true path of the AGE OF LIGHT!
