Focus on Girls

This two-day training focuses on the basic skills and concepts of the Rock & Water program related to the specific development tasks and qualities of girls and women. During this training, participants learn how to use the various Rock & Water skills together with other, new exercises to support girls (secondary education) and women to be able and dare to live life from their own strength.

Objectives of the training include:

  • Awareness of one’s own body, posture, emotions and reaction patterns;
  • Feeling strong in your own body, being allowed and daring to trust yourself and your own strength.
  • Feel your strength, experience it and give it direction.
  • Experience that you are strong and learn to convert this strength into actions.
  • The use of mental strength connected to inner strength.
  • Dealing with exciting situations without losing contact with yourself.
  • Feeling and experiencing your own personal space and being allowed, able and daring to occupy this space.
  • Learning to take action in ‘paralyzing’ situations

Besides theoretical foundations, we will mainly work practically with various working methods during the training.

The training is presented by Linda Geraeds, Rock & Water Master Trainer. Linda has extensive experience as a counselor and body worker, both in working with children, young people and in women’s care. This training is for teachers, care providers, trainers/coaches, therapists and also a very interesting further training for Rock and Water trainers who want to support girls and/or women to learn to live life from their own strength.
