Anxiety and how to live with it

Lump in your throat? Sweaty palms? Heart racing like crazy? 😰 And in 5 minutes you’re supposed to walk into an important meeting, interview or presentation? You manage to slip into the bathroom, splash your face with water, count to 10 and whisper some kind words to yourself. Somehow you pull yourself together again – but you’re tired of living like this, always firefighting. If you’re exhausted from feeling like ANXIETY is driving your life, the workshop “Anxiety as an everyday experience? How do I survive it?” is a chance to slow down, understand what’s happening and learn what you can actually do about it. You’ll get clear, down‑to‑earth education on what anxiety is, why it exists, when it’s normal and when it starts to interfere with daily life. ​ 📅 Dates: 18 or 25 March 2026 (you choose your slot when registering) 📍 Location: Trešnjevka, Zagreb ⏰ Time: 18:00 – 20:00 (90 minutes of guided work + time to connect over coffee/juice) 👥 Group size: up to 10 people – small, safe group for sharing and questions 🎟 Early bird: 50 € (until 8 March 2026) Spots are limited to keep the quality and individual support high – enough space for each person’s story and pace.
