Facilitator: Dimitra Didangelou, Psychologist, MSc, Specialist in Therapeutic Writing

A monthly Lapidus group for the first time in Athens.
The meetings will be guided by psychologist Dimitra Didangelou and are open all year round for new members.

Dimitra’s approach through therapeutic and expressive writing techniques encourages life reflection and self-exploration.

The group is suitable for those seeking to gain insight into their inner lives, increase self-awareness, listen to their inner voice and connect with their full creative potential.

The writing focuses entirely on tapping into our inner selves, without any concern for narrative structure or grammar rules. The group will discuss in Greek language.

The first meeting will open with the following poem, which is going to be the basis for the rest of the writing:

 

Reinvent your Life

Charles Bukowski

 

Invent yourself and then reinvent yourself,

don't swim in the same slough.

invent yourself and then reinvent yourself and

stay out of the clutches of mediocrity.

 

invent yourself and then reinvent yourself,

change your tone and shape so often

that they can never categorize you.

 

reinvigorate yourself and accept what is

but only on the terms that you have invented

and reinvented.

 

be self-taught.

 

and reinvent your life because you must;

it is your life and its history and the present

belong only to you.
