Overview
Building Inner Strength: 16 Guidelines for Life workshops are based on a set of values which aim to encourage positive qualities in our life. They help us to change how we think, how we act, how we relate to others and how we find meaning.
It provides practical tools for a more meaningful, fulfilled life. The idea is simple: to change the way we experience the world, we transform the way we think, act, and relate to others to find meaning.
The Building Inner Strength: 16 Guidelines Level 2 expands the experience of the 16 Guidelines’ potential through guided discussions, meditations, experiential activities, and reflection practices.
Led by two experienced 16G facilitators: Kitty D’Costa and Claudia van Zuiden, this workshop offers:
- A deeper understanding of the philosophical foundations of the 16 Guidelines.
- An exploration of mindfulness—both in theory and in practice.
- Insight into the methodologies that underpin the 16G reflections, experiential tools, and creative activities.
- An honest look at the “shadow side” of the Guidelines and how to work with it skillfully.
- Opportunities to connect with other 16G practitioners, exchange ideas, and share experiences at greater depth.
- A secular, universal framework that focuses on human values rather than religious doctrine.
- Practical inspiration to move beyond theory and take meaningful action for your community and the environment.
