Dr Pamela Geldmacher's workshop invites all participants to set out together on the path to greater resilience and resource strengthening,
instead of chasing after the here and now. One focus of the workshop time together will be on a sustainable culture of breaks within academic work phases. In a world that is becoming increasingly interconnected due to digitalisation, 'taking a break' must be relearned in order to be effective in the long term. The fact is: without high-quality break phases, it is not possible to maintain balanced resources in the long term. But how do we manage to take breaks in our demanding everyday university life that strengthen us in the long term?
Answers to these and subsequent questions will be provided in this online workshop, which will be followed by a follow-up session in which the status quo will be reflected upon and explored in greater depth. It is a practice-orientated format that implements tools from the fields of personal development, time and stress management and mental coaching, as well as breathing, body and mindfulness exercises. The aim is to outline the current level of resources and to make self-determined adjustments in order to move forward in a more resilient, motivated and powerful way.

About the speaker:

Dr Pamela Geldmacher holds a doctorate in media and cultural studies, is a trained audio-visual media specialist, breathing and movement teacher, lecturer, mental coach and facilitator. After more than 13 years at university, she now accompanies people inside and outside institutions and companies in the fields of break culture, stress management, mental coaching and breath, body and resource work.
