PsychoAnalytic Counseling for “moments of passage” in life

Who has never dreamed, as a child, of traveling on a magic carpet to discover new worlds?

Who has never imagined learning to fly?

Since the most ancient times the Flying Carpet is the protagonist of fairytales and stories, a magic tool for bringing to life the most inner dreams, if only we can learn to use it the right way.

Our project takes the Flying Carpet as a metaphor for an imaginary journey of self-discovery, to explore the world of imagination and fantasies that stands beyond reality.

for whom

The Flying Carpet Studio supports people who live transitional stages in life.

Life is made of many different phases: we grow up from childhood to adulthood to the old age; we fell in love, get married and separate, we go through births and deaths of beloved ones; we move, change jobs and countries, meet some new people and leave some others behind.

Unlike in the past, all these stages of life are today mostly experienced in solitude, often perceived as existential crisis bringing anxiety and uncertainty about the future, questioning ones identity, requiring a radical change of attitudes and behaviors.

We believe, however, that the “moments of passage” are precious occasions for a better understanding of the changes in and around us, that can lead to new surprising discoveries increasing the self-awareness of our inner potentialities.

INDIVIDUALS

Is your life taking an unexpected tournament?

Do you feel dissatisfied by your job and relations, deprived of drives, will and desires?

Do you feel stressed, anxious, moody, vulnerable? Uncertain about your potential, goals and motivations?

Do you question yourself, your gender and your identity?

GROUPS AND ORGANIZATIONS

Do you see yourself as a “nomad of the XXI Century”, a citizen of the world driven by discoveries, adventure, new frontiers? Do you feel, however, that the encounter with different cultures and habits challenge your usual schemes of thoughts and living?

Do you work in a company in a volatile environment, continous changes challenging your skills, feeling like a captain who is looking for stimuli, guidance and support in order to learn “how to sail in stormy waters”?

Are you a “reflective citizen”, driven by engagement in sharing a cause, willing to contribute to the common good, looking for new values and new perspectives?

HOW WE WORK

Combining the Analytical Psychology of C.G.Jung, the Psychodynamic Research and a Transcultural Anthropological perspective, we support the development of people’s creative potential.

Active Imagination

A way of consciously access the creative potential of the unconscious through the amplification of dreams, images, narratives, drawings, reveries.

Sandplay Theraphy

A non-verbal therapeutic intervention, Sandplay Therapy makes use of a sandbox, toy figures, and sometimes water, to create scenes of miniature worlds that reflect a person's inner thoughts, struggles, and concerns.

Social Dreaming

A sharing space where individual dreams become a source to foster free-thinking and co-create new meanings.

Listening Post

Group sessions discussing ongoing social changes, to capture hidden signals and to explore new solutions.
