This morning I stepped out onto my balcony. I often do that—to water my plants or simply enjoy the first rays of the rising sun. And, just like every morning, I heard a very young child crying. A desperate cry. Every single morning.

It made me think that, for this little person, mornings are experienced as a time of despair.
Day after day, repetition after repetition, they are learning what mornings feel like and how to respond to them.
Their perceptions are being shaped.
Their response to fear is being formed.
They are drawing conclusions about the people around them, about whether it is safe to ask for help, or whether it is better not to.
Conclusions.

I thought to myself: this person's "morning persona" is being created right now—and they may spend many years dealing with it.

This is why we work with the persona. This is the true essence of this concept and why it is so central to our work.

From the feedback I receive from both students and certified practitioners, I see that the persona often becomes an abstract idea.
People become focused on trying to find the "right" name on the first attempt. It turns into a puzzle, and they lose sight of what really matters—for the work and for the client.

Instead of being a resource, it becomes a guessing game.

Students and practitioners often ask me for support, and when we explore a case together, they tend to repeat the same questions—which are useful, of course: Who does the client become? What kind of person are you in that situation?

But then the connection with reality gets lost. The bigger picture disappears. The persona no longer resonates with the client's lived experience, and there are still all the questions on the form waiting to be answered.

In this masterclass, you will rediscover how to work with the persona in a way that truly starts from the body and from real experience. We will use all the tools—plus one more— Stopping movements included, to help the persona become a source of clarity rather than confusion. So that the stress of trying to guess the "right answer" can give way to the excitement of thinking in a truly three-dimensional way.

This masterclass is open to Year C students of the Grinberg Method and certified practitioners.The masterclass will be held in English.
It will take place in Turin, at my studio located at Via Curtatone 5.
The schedule is from 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The fee is €250, and you will receive an invoice that can be used for tax deduction, where applicable.

I look forward to seeing you!
