"It always feels a little strange. When 'I' appreciate 'you', it sounds as if something is going from me to you. What you describe is a flow from 'you' to 'me'. And I think that is a good description of what is…"

My dream:
I dream of being part of a world where all humans be appreciated and respected in their commonalities and their diversities, so that each can contribute to the best of his/her capacities.
My concern:
I am concerned about the useless globalization of issues that put communities in danger.
I'm proud of:
I am proud of being able to acknowledge and enjoy all the people around me who blossom at the discovery of their inner strengths, and who after finding some weaknesses still are able to use them as strengths. And also I am prou that I can include myself among those.
What I think of Community Life Competence:
I think that aids Competence, life competence, is something I was looking for most of my life without knowing it. When I saw it I could inmediately recognize it and I felt the desire to be part of it.
What do I want to do to spread Community Life Competence?
Launch a facilitation team, Share about AIDS Competence with potential partners; friends; colleagues, I want to apply SALT in my own life (S: Stimulate; Support; A: Appreciate; L: Listen; Learn; Link; T: Transfer; Team)
The small secretariat of the Constellation also needs help. Do you want to help? I want to:

The contentment of appreciation

Posted on March 19, 2012 at 6:25am 6 Comments

I am in Prague waiting my connection flight to Barcelona and I wanted to share with you the feeling of excitement that still bathes me. It still persists a sense of joy and contentment that usually starts with the openness that propitiates dialogue, and a stimulating sensation that starts when I prepare for listening and persists in time every time I review what actually happens there.

 

I know about the power of appreciation through my own experience. I have learnt much about…

(Перевод Марии. Большое спасибо)

 

Я в Праге, ожидаю пересадки на самолет до Барселоны, и я бы хотела поделиться чувством восторга, которое до сих пор меня переполняет.

Disclosure- a turning point in my life

Posted on August 20, 2009 at 6:30pm 6 Comments

One of the tools I have been using to work towards "normalization" of HIV is disclosure. I have come out with my HIV+ status to show those who considered HIV as pertaining to excluded populations that HIV can come into anyone's life.



I got the impression that people around could not see HIV as related with 'normal people'. So I decided to go public so that I could show others that it could happen to anybody, it was among us in our communities. I think that the use of that tool… Continue

More on storytelling

Posted on July 12, 2009 at 11:33am 4 Comments

On May 11th, the book and DVD 'Healing through our stories: women constructing HIV historic memory' has been presented to the public in Barcelona, Spain, and I am very happy to say that it has been very well received and it has started to live an independent life.



Before the public presentation, we had a 2 days meeting with the participants to have their feedback before anybody else's and to involve them in the presentation. That workshop was one of the most satisfactory events I… Continue
