Walking towards recovery: metaphor walk

Description? In our ‘Walk to recovery: theme metaphors’ we use nature as a mirror to stand still at your own recovery process. Nature images such as a withered branch or a butterfly can help to explore and name experiences, feelings, and thoughts in a different way. The guidance is based on recovery-oriented and reflective methodologies, in which experiential learning and symbolic thinking are central. This approach supports the development of insight into yourself and into themes that play a role within your recovery process. The recovery-oriented goal of this walk is to gain more insight into yourself and your recovery through metaphors and nature experience. We explicitly make the translation to daily life, so that you can discover what these insights can mean in your own recovery trajectory. The exercises are non-binding: you choose which metaphors are meaningful to you and what you do or do not want to share with the group. There is space for personal reflection and your own pace. What is the goal of the course? The goal is to promote insight, reflection, and connection with your own recovery process through nature metaphors and movement, with attention to rest, contact, and meaning-making.
