The end of Lotus Paris Workshop

The Lotus Project Workshop in Paris has come to an end. The team was really lucky to be able to spend these 3 weeks in the House of Refugees, a newly opened space dedicated to fostering community and support. In partnership with Singa Paris and Emmaüs Solidarté, they have set up a safe place for those seeking refuge (migrants, asylum seekers, people with legal status), for residents and committed citizens seeking solidarity, and for associations and institutions specialising in or dealing with the issue of migration.

During the workshop Fotini Dimitrou(Yoga Family Violet Alignment ) worked together with La Transpanisphere on the wellbeing of refugees and
immigrants through yoga and poetry.

Each seance began with a yoga session, followed gently by a poetry session. A carefully chosen poem set the tone for the discussions, allowing
participants to explore and express their feelings, sensations and personal experiences through writing their own poems. This gave us a chance to hear new ideas from our group, open up new topics and just enjoy the company of people, willing to connect and discover new things for themselves.
