A Compassionate Workshop for World Alzheimer's Day in Freiburg
On World Alzheimer's Day, this short workshop invites a quiet, mindful look at dementia, loss, and farewell. The focus is on how individuals can face grief, change, and uncertainty with dignity, attentiveness, and spiritual openness.
Understanding Dementia, Accompanying Farewells
Dementia often means a continuous letting go for those affected and their relatives: memories fade, relationships change, certainties diminish. The lecture by Dr. Aniela Knoblich opens a safe space for professional input, pastoral sensitivity, and the exchange of loving ways to deal with these experiences.
A Space for Grief, Courage, and Community
The workshop connects knowledge and human closeness. Participants experience an atmosphere where grief is not suppressed but taken seriously. For relatives, this form of encounter can be relieving as it provides orientation, language, and support in dealing with dementia.
Accessible, Free of Charge, and Intentionally Limited
The event takes place at the St. Johann residential home in Freiburg, is barrier-free, and free of charge. The number of participants is limited, so early registration is recommended. The format is aimed at individuals interested in dementia support, family support work, palliative care, and a culture of dignified conversation.
Conclusion: A Quiet Impulse with Great Impact
This short workshop offers a valuable opportunity to understand dementia not only as a medical but also as a human and spiritual challenge. Those who wish to engage with farewell, hope, and connection will experience a touching afternoon full of resonance and community in Freiburg. Register now and be part of it live.
