Basic Forum Experience 1

with Ina Meyer-Stoll and Achim Ecker, founding members of ZEGG in Germany and long term international teachers of ZEGG Forum.

Forum means "I want to know who you really are" — and the decision to follow your heart. It is a communication process that fosters cooperation, empathy, and real contact.

One person at a time stands in the center and makes visible what is alive within them: emotions, experiences, insights — not just spoken, but felt and expressed through body and presence.
The group's attention and mindful facilitation create a space where deeper layers of humanity become tangible: our true motives, our feelings, our longing for connection. Through this, new perspectives emerge — for the individual and for the group as a whole.

Forum is more than a technique. It is a culture-building process rooted in human and ethical values.
