NEGBA, Israel

Keynote: J Cancer Sci Ther

Abstract :

In this workshop I would like to go through the process of â�?�?awakeningâ�? using the imaginary thought by our doctors that we have very few months to live. We will use this short time to experience threw art and drama the curing ability that is enfold in this process. We will also borrow parts of the existential approach to intense the understanding of why it actually worked for Sara. I will use the term â�?�?wake-up callâ�? and investigate the meaning. We will dive into an essential question introduced by Irvin Yalom in his book about existential therapy â�?�?are we living our lives?â�? Or as Nietzsche presents it to us in his question â�?�?If you live your life over again how would you do it?â�?
