The Feelings Lab

À propos de cet événement

A practice space for feeling what you feel and learning what to do with it.

Most of us were never taught how to feel.
We learned to calm down, cheer up, stop crying, control our anger, overcome our fear. So we improvise: we repress, explode, overthink, distract ourselves, or sometimes get completely overwhelmed.

But what if our feelings aren't the problem?

What if anger, sadness, fear and joy each have something useful to tell us?

What happens when I stop trying to get rid of what I feel?

Can I feel anger without hurting someone?
Can sadness help me let go?
Can fear make me more attentive?
Can I allow joy without immediately containing it?

And can I learn to recognise what I'm actually feeling in the first place?
Feelings Lab is a practice space to explore your emotional world through experience.

We'll work with four core feelings — anger, sadness, fear and joy — learning to recognise them in the body, express them consciously and explore the information and energy they can offer us.

Depending on the session, we might focus more deeply on one feeling, explore the difference between feelings and emotional reactions, or practice using emotional energy in everyday situations.

The aim isn't to control your feelings, get rid of them or become less emotional. It's to build your capacity to feel without automatically being run by what you feel.
Very little theory: we learn by doing.

✨️ Where does this approach come from?
Feelings Lab draws from Possibility Management.
One of the ideas I take from Possibility Management is simple but quite radical: there are no inherently “positive” or “negative” feelings. Anger, sadness, fear and joy can each have a purpose — and we can learn to relate to them differently.

You don't need previous experience.

This is an experiential space: we won't only talk about feelings; we'll practice noticing and feeling them in the body.
