The loneliness of suffering, how to comfort?  

Maria LEEFLANG

We must talk about suffering to understand something of the loneliness of people. Usually we talk about problems, it’s a way of looking from the outside and therefore we don’t come any closer. Knowing about the suffering teaches us something about loneliness itself, of how it is felt. On the other hand we need to understand how we ourselves create a line of distance to the one who is suffering. We want to solve, we want to clean the suffering, we want to diminish it. By doing this we keep staying on the outside. What we need is a perspective from the inside, so this workshopis about what people really ask from us, because help that really helps, comforts us all. We try to come to a closer view by sharing, looking at short movies and explore our intentions. Welcome!
