Description

Moving to Berlin for your studies doesn't mean putting life on hold. This workshop shows how peer-support groups become the foundation for building something meaningful, not just surviving until you leave. You'll learn why waiting to "figure things out" keeps you stuck and discover how offering your presence, even without all the answers, creates the guiding direction you seek. Through practical exercises, you'll identify what truly matters and design peer connections that support building your meaningful life. You'll leave with a clear framework for creating the holistic Berlin experience your heart dreams of. The event will be held in English in Kooperation with SEKIS (https://www.sekis-berlin.de/).

About the trainer: Taylor supports people in practicing personal leadership and creating peer support groups for healthier, more connected lives. With 14+ years in Berlin navigating unconventional educational and career paths alongside mental health challenges, Taylor teaches a lived methodology combining somatic awareness, energetic intelligence, and strategic structure-recognition. Her work is grounded in the belief that you don't need everything figured out to contribute meaningfully...your presence and truth are inherently valuable, and belonging emerges when you offer yourself in service to your values and community.
