Bread has special therapeutic potential, it is a powerful universal symbol capable of uniting people of all ages, backgrounds and cultures.

Bread making is a unique creative activity in which metaphors of life, problem-solving and coping with difficulties can be successfully applied. It involves different stages in a certain sequence and teaches different social and cognitive skills, patience and cooperation.

Bread Therapy methods help people transform their communities and imagine solutions for broader social issues. It allows people of all ages and backgrounds to see bread not only as food, but also as an instrument for healing, education and to foster political dialogue.

This course offers you both a stable theoretical basis on bread therapy as well as powerful examples of bread therapy programs' application and the effects they have on participants.

"I am so impressed by all the positive change in this world through the Bread Houses Network started by one single woman. You have been instrumental in helping me shape a vision which had been incubating inside of me for years but I never was able to formulate until I came across BHN and one of your TEDTalks at a very low point in my life after a divorce 4 years ago. I truly feel called to spread the “gospel of bread” and bring people together and share a piece of their lives with each other in a kind and accepting way.” (Sibyl E. León, Founder of BREAD Encounters (USA))
