LovefullMe

Self-Help Group on the Topic of “Human Dignity”

The only and most honest help is the help to self-help!

LovefullME is a nonprofit initiative and community dedicated to promoting dignity, mindfulness and social responsibility. Our association sees itself as a companion for people who want to discover their inner strength, unlock their potential and lead a self-determined life in connection with their community.

Why Self-Help?

We kindly ask for prior registration, as the venue may change depending on the date. We offer two sessions per month to accommodate everyone while keeping the group size manageable — therefore once per month per participant. Address: Hebborner Berg 51 or Paritätischer Odenthaler Str. 19, venue will be announced upon registration.

What Do the Participants Say?

Gerda

After a traumatic event, it was an incredible stroke of luck for me to find Conny and the LovefullME self-help group. For more than three years I have been attending the meetings. The group evenings offer every participant the opportunity to talk about a difficult life situation. In a safe and protected environment I was able to speak about myself and the emotional pain I experienced at the time, and I was met with openness, understanding, appreciation, respect and loving attentiveness.

I was able to let go and was caught, and in the end I was able to go home feeling relieved and strengthened. Just knowing that this group exists brings a sense of comfort — and here too it holds true: no one is alone, together we are strong.

Thank you Conny

Dani

I feel well supported in the group because I can talk about my thoughts and feelings in front of attentive and empathetic people. That feels good and helps me to better understand my worries and find a solution for them.

Stephie

I very much enjoy attending our Dignity Group, as the confidential setting and the warm-hearted people there make it easy for me to open up. No matter what topic is on my mind — everything is welcome. At the end of every meeting I feel encouraged and go home with a better feeling.
