The Scale of Happiness: An Evening for More Joy in Life
When everyday life consists only of functioning, this workshop sets a conscious counterpoint. On October 15, 2026, The Scale of Happiness – From Surviving to Living invites you at FZZ Freizeitzentrum Stieghorst to discover your own resources and develop new perspectives on meaning, satisfaction, and self-determination.
Between Exhaustion and Inner Vitality
Many people face significant demands daily and still feel empty, exhausted, or stuck. The event takes this experience seriously and opens a safe space for self-reflection. The focus is on the question of what makes a life not only bearable but also vibrant and fulfilling again.
Positive Psychology Meets Personal Experience
The starting point is the so-called Scale of Happiness from Positive Psychology. Participants consider where they currently stand, what gives them strength, and what small steps can lead to more joy in life. Short professional impulses are combined with practical exercises that direct attention to already existing skills and possibilities.
Appreciative Atmosphere and Open Exchange
The workshop is led by Nicole Ruschmeier, a social worker and empowerment and resilience coach for people with mental burdens and addiction experiences. Her work is appreciative, resource-oriented, and practice-oriented. Personal experiences with severe depression and a significant alcohol problem shape an approach that combines professional expertise with personal credibility.
After the exercises, there is an open discussion round. Affected individuals, relatives, and professionals from the psychosocial field have the opportunity to share experiences and jointly think through central questions. The theatrical atmosphere of a classical performance gives way to a focused, human encounter: Listening, perceiving, and exploring new action spaces are at the center.
Conclusion: A Stage Experience of One's Own Life
The Scale of Happiness – From Surviving to Living understands happiness not as permanent self-optimization but as conscious perception of one's own life. The workshop during Mental Health Week promises impulses, practical exercises, and open exchange. Those seeking more meaning, inner stability, and joy in life will find an inspiring place for the next personal step.
