25/04/2026 – Workshop 1: Breaking Stigmas.

In 2025, we were 1 of 220 Warmest Week charities and we are doing something really great with that now!

With the project“Flame Power Of Invisible Heroes,” we bring people together around invisible diseases.
During four workshops, we will work on different themes to share experiences, gain insights and discover ways to better deal with various issues.

Workshop 1: Breaking Stigmas – Experience and Visibility

This first workshop focuses on stigmas: how they arise, how they feel and how we can break them.

We will start with a fun, approachable yoga session and then engage in conversation with experts by experience, professionals and allies.
There is room for stories, insights and dialogue. We work around the theme to form capstans that will move us forward sustainably.
After the session, there will be a communal lunch.

This workshop is for persons with invisible illness, allies and anyone who wants to learn about different situations and experiences.
