This workshop offers a creative and experiential space to explore shame through the body, memory and objects. Through the NeuroPuppetry Method™, participants will work with practical exercises using animated forms (objects, materials and puppets), guided reflection, brief theoretical framing and group dynamics aimed at understanding the biology and the genesis of shame.
