TRAINING: The Roots of Blended Families
3–4:30 pm
Language: Dutch
This training is specifically for adoptive, foster, and/or stepfamily members.
Children who grow up in blended families are often invited to move, with the result that they lose their place of origin out of sight. The effects of this transition become visible in all phases of life and influence us in our being.
During this workshop, you will experience the complex dynamics of blended families while also acknowledging what impact distance and adoption have on your identity, body, and existence. As we begin to recognize the presence and yearning of belonging, loyalty, forced displacement, confusion, inclusion, and exclusion as a neglected reality of blended families, Adoption coach, Bina de Boer gently encourages you to take your original place again.
