Writing as a Tool for Discovering Values and Meaning 7/2027

Many of us constantly ponder what to do — change jobs or stay, say yes or no, continue or start something new. Often, it's not about the ability to make decisions, but about not knowing well enough what is truly important to us. Values act as a compass: they don't give one right answer, but help guide towards a meaningful life. Societal, social media, and environmental expectations easily obscure what we truly value — which can lead us to pursue things that outwardly appear successful but lack an inner sense of meaning. In this course, we explore our own values through writing, discussion, physical exercises, and bibliotherapeutic methods — learning to listen more closely to our own experience. The course is suitable for anyone interested in the topic, as well as professionals in social work, healthcare, and education. This course is not therapy. Instructor: pedagogical coach, resource-oriented emotional therapist, psychophysical body/breathing instructor, AmO, broad-based wellness teacher, NLP Practitioner, therapeutic yoga instructor Elena Vuori. The language of instruction is Finnish.
