The participants

BENJAMIN
HERBRIK

Certified psychiatric health care worker and nurse practitioner

"ART means for me to deal with one's thoughts and feelings, to reflect on them and to get an idea for one's own needs and the needs of the other person. A.R.T. also gives me a reflection basis to recognize and understand my personal ways of acting and inner thought processes."

DOMINIK SEYER,
BSC,BA

Certified psychiatric health care worker and nurse practitioner

"I gain a whole new understanding and appreciation for the situations I encounter and the people I work with. A.R.T. is truly an art that opens up unexpected perspectives and approaches to my professional and personal life."

MARIAM DOMINGUEZ
RAMIREZ

Certified health care
and nurse

"In A.R.T's course, we are all valued as individual people. Everyone brings their own specific stories to the courses and so we learn with and from each other."

MARKUS
WALLNER

Certified health and
care nurse

"In a completely new way, we learn to think about very fundamental questions: Why do people act the way they do? Where do emotions come from and what is their purpose? As a result, I'm learning a different way of thinking, a philosophy of life that helps me understand myself and others better."

NADINE
WHITE

Certified health and
care nurse

"One of the things I like so much about the A.R.T. course is that the way it imparts knowledge and the way it teaches us deviates from classic, rigid methods and instead gives us a free and comfortable learning environment where there is plenty of room for co-creation and personal stories."

MIRIAM
ARP

Certified health and
care nurse

"A.R.T. is a very unique way of relating to each other. I find it so exciting because I've worked in the nursing field in acute psychiatry, and A.R.T. gives me completely new insights and information about people for this profession that I didn't know before."
