Workshop Registration:
In this workshop we are using a new registration system through Eventbrite.
Eventbrite is free as long as our events are free of charge. It
uses the term "Ticket" for reserving a space for participants (we would
have preferred a different term to replace the word ticket).
Thank you for your patience and support as we try out this new registration system!
Welcome to the Workshop!

mutually dignifying dialogue on the crucial topics of our time.

“The
time has come for a redefining of the conduct of our relations — of our
relations with one another ... and all of our relations on our planet,
Earth.”

De l’humiliation à la dignité : pour un avenir de solidarité mondiale
Founding President Evelin Lindner
|
En
s’appuyant sur plusieurs décennies de recherches, sur son expérience de
psychologue clinicienne et sur les leçons de l’histoire, Evelin Lindner
illustrera les différences entre humiliation d’honneur et humiliation
de dignité. Elle montrera pourquoi la dignité est un concept spécifique
qui ne peut se résumer ni à l’autonomie, ni au respect, ni à la fierté.

We are grateful to all who sustain HumanDHS with action gifts and economic support!
HumanDHS
does not have a paid staff, administrative assistance, or IT services.
We are an "extreme, lean, green, but not mean" community, essentially a
"do-it-together-with-dignity" community. We do not charge registration
fees for events, yet we appreciate thoughtful contributions (according
to one's ability).
If you would like to contribute, we warmly welcome your kind support:
