Brissago Spring 2022

Ciao cari amici della scienza,  persona interessate e che vorrebbe esserlo!

During the week of 17 May, Dawn, Sabrina and I were in Ticino, in Brissago to be precise, for the next workshops at the Clinica Hildebrand together with Dr Daria Dinacci and Paolo Paolantonio. But before we start, I just have to show you the sunrise from our hotel.

Your envy is quite appropriate at this point 😉 I am really lucky to have such a stunning place to work.

Unlike the workshops in England, these workshops took place over four days and there was no lunch together. As we were in a clinical setting and the patients had a strict daily routine, other organisation was unfortunately not possible. Nevertheless, I had the impression that everyone felt comfortable and enjoyed the workshops despite the few opportunities for personal exchange. In fact, many would have liked more time and even more workshops. This circumstance is mainly due to Paolo and his great presentation and leadership of the workshops. He really succeeded in captivating everyone and making sure that everyone had fun. As Dawn always says, Paolo is a superstar! I am very happy that he is also a part of the project and that we will continue to work together in the future.

Daniele, the participating music therapist, was also great. The group musical exercises he led during the percussion workshop on Friday felt almost magical. Here is a small impression:

It felt indescribably beautiful to be a part of it and to feel the energy that flowed out from the participants.

I am really looking forward to the workshops in Lucerne to find out if and what differences there are between the three locations.

Grazie mille for reading this blog and feel very welcome to leave comments. I can’t wait to tell you about all the other exciting things and experiences.

Ciao and see you next time!
