“My greatest gain in this CODAMO cycle has been to be able to identify how my body talks to me, acknowledge how I feel physically and emotionally, and I acquired tools to deal with different issues in my daily life.”
“In the CODAMO program for women I learned that taking time for myself is important, that it is not an option, but a right.”
This is what two of the women who finished the CODAMO (Counseling and Dance Movement Therapy) cycle of workshops say about their experience. Thanks to the donations we have received through the GlobalGiving platform, we were able to provide a series of virtual workshops for women during this semester. After working, learning, and seeing each other through the computer for several months, it was a moving experience to get to see each other in person during the last meeting.
Ranging in ages from mid thirties to the sixties, these courageous women learned how to listen to the messages that their bodies and their minds give them, and how they can improve their self-esteem, manage stressful situations in their lives, and improve their mental and physical health.
We are already planning the next CODAMO cycle for this coming semester and will be in touch with you to tell you all about it.
