3,14: Personalized Coaching with Marco Bertagni

 

Are you ready to embark on a transformative journey towards personal growth, enhanced leadership skills, and a deeper understanding of your needs? Look no further than “3,14”, a unique one-to-one coaching delivered in one of these 4 languages: Italian, English, Spanish and French.

With 3,14, you have the opportunity to engage in a comprehensive coaching experience that lasts exactly 314 minutes, symbolizing endless opportunities and boundless potential just like Pi represents infinite digits with no repeating patterns. The journey begins with an insightful discovery phase, where the first 14 minutes are offered as a complimentary session. This initial consultation allows Marco to gain a deep understanding of your individual needs and aspirations.

Once the discovery phase is complete, the remaining 300 minutes of the coaching program are divided into four engaging and thought-provoking meetings, with each session lasting 75 minutes. These meticulously crafted meetings incorporate two workshops, namely “Pack your Luggage” and “Map out your Emotions,” which employ the innovative Geo-Emotional Mapping methodology.

“Pack your Luggage” workshop enables you to explore your strengths and fears, talents and aspirations while identifying the areas that require growth and development. This workshop provides valuable insights into selecting archetype and creating a geo-emotional CV.

The “Map out your Emotions” workshop takes you on an introspective journey, allowing you to explore and understand the complex landscape of your emotions. Through the cutting-edge Geo-Emotional Mapping methodology, you will gain clarity and self-awareness, enabling you to make better decisions and cultivate a harmonious work-life balance.

Beyond these core workshops, the remaining activities and sessions within the 3,14 coaching program are tailored to your unique needs and objectives. Marco Bertagni will work closely with you to define additional activities that align with your specific requirements. Whether you aim to foster effective communication, nurture teamwork, or address any other challenges, “3,14” will cater to your individual aspirations.

Invest in yourself with 3,14, and witness the remarkable transformation that awaits you.

“Mettre sur le papier les émotions ressenties au cours de ma vie personnelle et professionnelle m’a aidé à faire un bilan: ça m’a donné encore plus de clarité sur qui je suis et où je souhaite aller dans la vie.
Ça m’a aidé ainsi à faire la synthèse de mon expérience de six ans en France”. (Lucia P.)

4-7 Sept 2023 – Oral Presentation “THE INTRIGUING APPLICATIONS OF "THE RIVER OF LIFE" EMOTIONAL MAPPING METHODOLOGY”, Barcelone, Spain
16-17 Sept 2023 – Playing FOR Life Tournament “MEMORIALE GIUSEPPE MAGNIFICO“, L’Aquila, Italia

La genesi del progetto PLAYING FOR LIFE

Durante il mio viaggio nella geografia delle emozioni, raccontato nel libro THE RIVER OF LIFE, nelle vesti di bambino con la valigia, incontro, sulle sponde del Lago dei Sogni Rubati, Lorenzo Guarnieri, il bambino a cui rubarono la Palla.
Da questo incontro nasce in me un sogno, quello di ritrovare e restituire la Palla a Lorenzo e a chi come lui si è visto portar via per indifferenza e malvagità la Vita.
Lorenzo fu infatti ucciso nel 2010, a 17 anni sulle strade di Firenze, da un uomo che conduceva sotto effetto di droghe e alcol.
Quell’uomo giocava CON la vita.
Insieme ai Geografi delle Emozioni, un network internazionale creatosi sulla scia del progetto THE RIVER OF LIFE, il nostro desiderio è di giocare, e far giocare PER la vita, attraverso l’organizzazione di eventi sportivi con delle regole speciali, in cui, simbolicamente, una palla (sia essa da Calcio, da Volley
o da Basket) oltrepassi un confine, quello delle nuvole (rappresentate da una linea di porta, da un’area particolare o da un canestro) e venga così idealmente restituita alle persone a cui era stata rubata.
Nei vari giochi vengono premiate le performance acrobatiche (rovesciata/sforbiciata nel Calcio, punto di secondo tocco nel Volley e tap-in nel Basket) perché sono quei momenti in cui si fa lo sforzo di andare oltre l’ordinario, di usare la fantasia, di guardare il mondo da altre prospettive e quindi di cercare soluzioni nuove.
Si premiano inoltre le realizzazioni effettuate in corrispondenza del numero 10 (quello preferito da Lorenzo) sia quando si parla di tempi di gioco (Calcio e Basket) che di punteggio (Volley).
I Regolamenti sono concepiti sia per il gioco a squadra che per quello a coppie.
I giochi, infine, sono modulari sia in orizzontale (ovvero è ipotizzabile una sorta di Triathlon Playing FOR Life composto da Calcio, Volley e Basket), che in verticale (lo stesso sport può essere giocato a squadre e poi a coppie, collegando i punteggi).
Tutto questo il progetto Playing FOR Life:
Ad oggi, abbiamo giocato oltre 15 tornei a Playing FOR Life: dall’Italia al Messico, dall’Iran al Madagascar, dal Portogallo a Capo Verde.

La legge sull’Omicidio stradale e l’incontro con Persone Speciali

Attraverso il libro THE RIVER OF LIFE e le attività collegate, ho sempre cercato, nel mio piccolo, di sostenere l’azione dell’Associazione Lorenzo Guarnieri.
All’inizio, questo è avvenuto soprattutto durante l’iter di approvazione della legge sull’Omicidio stradale.
È stato in quegli anni che – in circostanze tragiche – ho conosciuto persone meravigliose che, pur fronteggiando il più grande dolore immaginabile, anzi, non immaginabile, quale la perdita di un figlio di una figlia (o di familiari) per mano di omicidi della strada, davano tutto per evitare che simili tragedie succedessero ancora.
Tra queste persone Erina, Antonio e Isabella, rispettivamente madre, padre e sorella di Giuseppe, ucciso sulla strada il 2 ottobre del 2005, quando aveva da due settimane compiuto 22 anni.

Quando Erina, vista la foto di Lorenzo da piccolo con una palla rossa in mano, mi ha mandato una foto del suo Giuseppe con un Supersantos l’emozione è stata fortissima.
Nel 2021, ero a L’Aquila per il varo di una scultura dedicata ai figli uccisi sulla strada, e insieme a Erina e soprattutto Antonio, abbiamo pensato di organizzare un memorial per Giuseppe a Playing FOR Life.
Antonio, con la sua squadra di fantastici amici, aveva già partecipato nel 2017 ad Anzio al primo triangolare di Playing FOR Life, insieme alla nostra squadra locale, THE RIVER OF LIFE, e all’ASSOCIAZIONE LORENZO GUARNIERI da Firenze.
Ecco quindi che nel weekend del 16 e 17 Settembre 2023, alla vigilia di quello che sarebbe stato il 40mo compleanno di Giuseppe, all’Aquila scenderanno in campo 12 squadre per onorare Giuseppe, Lorenzo e tutte le persone che vivono sulle sponde del Lago dei Sogni Rubati.
Tutti i calciatori impegnati faranno del loro meglio per lanciare idealmente il pallone tra le nuvole!

Le regole del memorial Giuseppe Magnifico a Playing FOR Life

Il torneo a squadre
Ogni squadra deve essere composta da 5 giocatori.
Una partita si disputa su unico tempo da 25 minuti.
Valgono le regole del Calcetto con tre eccezioni:
1. i gol segnati in rovesciata o semi-rovesciata/sforbiciata (= al momento dell’impatto del piede con il pallone il piede deve essere più in alto da terra rispetto al bacino) valgono doppio;
2. i gol segnati in corrispondenza del minuto 18 (l’arbitro deve segnalare inizio e fine del minuto 18) valgono doppio
3. i gol segnati in rovesciata o semi-rovesciata/sforbiciata in corrispondenza del minuto 18 valgono triplo

Il torneo a coppie + il Portiere

Il campo di gioco va diviso in tre zone: Area di Lancio, Area di Stoccata e Area di Difesa
Ogni squadra ha tre elementi: due giocatori di movimento più un portiere.
In fase di attacco i due giocatori di movimento possono alternarsi nei ruoli di Lanciatore e Stoccatore.
In fase difensiva gioca il Portiere.
Sono considerati gol solo quelli segnati in rovesciata o in semi-rovesciata/ sforbiciata.
In ogni partita possono essere effettuati al massimo 10 rovesciate avendo a disposizione 13 assist.

1 Oct 2023 – I COLORI DELL'ESISTENZA, Anzio, Italy

 

Desideri acquisire consapevolezza, riequilibrare gli aspetti emozionali e quelli razionali, alimentare la tua anima, acquisire tecniche innovative di mappatura e condividere il tuo colorato Fiume della Vita, fare un’esperienza in un ambiente sicuro ed empatico? La risposta è:

                                                     I Colori dell’Esistenza

I Geografi delle Emozioni Marco Bertagni e Bimba Landmann ti guideranno in un workshop di 8 ore alla (ri)scoperta di te stessa attraverso l’utilizzo e l’armonizzazione della metodologia cartografica THE RIVER OF LIFE ® creata da Marco e dell’innovativa e magica tecnica di acquarello di Bimba.
Si parte con Marco, che dopo averti consegnato le ruote delle emozioni e dei luoghi, ti inviterà a tracciare un itinerario lungo il tuo Fiume della Vita nel quale, usando prima la ragione e poi il cuore, farai emergere i tuoi paesaggi interiori e li disegnerai a matita a seconda di come ti sei sentita, ti senti e ti sentirai con riguardo a eventi del tuo passato, del tuo presente e del tuo futuro.
Avendo come bussola i luoghi scoperti e (ri)trovati durante la mappatura emozionale con Marco, comincerai, guidata da Bimba e dalla tua immaginazione, a tracciare luoghi ancora più profondi e personali.
Viaggerai infatti dentro le singole emozioni della tua mappa attraverso il colore: boschi, montagne, radure, mari, castelli e deserti prenderanno forme fantastiche.
Con grande gioia scoprirai come entrare nei luoghi della tua interiorità, esplorerai questi luoghi che d’incanto si andranno a ricreare come per magia sotto le tue mani.
La tecnica dell’acquerello ti permetterà di lasciarti trasportare dal caso, dall’ispirazione, e dalla magia dei colori, dalle emozioni.
Scoprirai che le porte dell’arte sono sempre accessibili e ci spalancano grandi doni.

23-26 May 2024 – Geo-emotional Journey “THE THIRD PARADISE ON THE RIVER”, Biella, Piedmont, Italy

THE THIRD PARADISE ON THE RIVER

 

Each Place has something that deserves to be told, emotions to elicit. Each of us can associate to the spirit of that Place his or her own perspective, story, search, journey.

This is what geo-maieutics is all about: putting together the physical journey with the personal one, overlapping real geographies with inner landscapes.

The innovative methodology The River of Life, created by Marco Bertagni, targets to improving personal development and the knowledge of places that, thanks to their geographical features, allow the emergence of deep emotions.

Marco Bertagni and EMME’s Geographers of Emotions create geo-maieutical paths in order to offer unique experiences to travellers and the opportunity to get closer to themselves, to others and to Earth.

In May 2024 we are realising this travel experience in the Biellese area. Biella, che “all’opra fumanti camini ostenta” according to Carducci’s definition, will certainly surprise the travellers who will get into a changement process and will realise that, as Eraclito said “No man ever steps in the same river twice”: so Travellers will be different than they were at the beginning of the journey. And also the River will….

A real River will be the star  of this experience: the Cervo River.

On May 23, after the introduction to The River of Life Project the travellers will play the first two River Games: Get  Ready  and Map  out  your  Emotions. They will get familiar with the rules of Overground, a geo-emotional photo hunting.

The following morning, May 24, the group – which for organizers’ choice won’t count more than 18 people – will walk to the wild Lago della Vecchia, at the source of the Cervo River to evoke the primordial feeling of the night of times: the beginning of EARTH.

The magic atmosphere of Sanctuary of Oropa will be the location of ROOTS, the second stage of this 6 geo-emotional stages experience that the Geographers of Emotions of EMME, Marco Bertagni, Ernesto Panza and Lucia Lamonarca are proposing and leading. It’s here that the River Game Geographer of Emotions will be played. Two teams will be created and will dive into the integrated knowledge, through the art and the beauty of sharing emotions and the magic of creating together a path to reach a dream of someone unknown but perceived like everyone’s dream.

On May 25, the EMOTIONS chapter will be filled with the first edition of a very innovative coaching experience and artistic atelier, based on the meeting of geography with the art of…table setting, aiming to evoke the spirit of being together, cultural sharing and conviviality by conceiving and realizing a mise en table, in the stunning gardens of Villa Malpenga.

The stage LIFE will be experienced among the plants of the Burcina: blossoming should not be the reason of our life?

The unique and hilly scenario of the Baraggia di Candelo will host travellers during the PHILOSOPHY stage of this emotional journey on May 26 and the Cervo River will still be there, flowing…

Similarly, the River Cervo and the music of its waters will be background of the magnificent Spazio Terzo Paradiso, in Biella, at Michelangelo Pistoletto’s Cittadellarte, where the travellers will have a talk about FREEDOM.

The journey will end up with a debate during which each traveller will have her/his own geo-emotional profile by harmonizing many elements – material and spiritual – that have been gathered during this experience.
