• Welcoming our emotions

Duration: 45 minutes

Set the room in a cosy way: put carpets on the floor and create a peaceful atmosphere, with smooth light.

Distribute to the participants the Wheel of emotions of Plutchik and give them 5 minutes to read it carefully.

Invite then the participants to lay down on the floor and take 2 minutes of focusing with close eyes.

Start the music.
After each song (most probably an extract of it) give 30-40 seconds to the participants to acknowledge the emotion(s) they felt when it was playing and to make a cross on their Wheel of emotions.

To conclude the session, invite the participants to share shortly how they felt during the exercise.
