Building Trust

“As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man” –  Proverbs Chapter 27, 19

Let’s examine this in an experiential way! Trust is the glue that connects us. Family, friends, colleagues, businesses, communities.  We can all feel what trust is, but often it is difficult to define it or know how to actively create it.

What makes us trust each other?

How Do I make somebody trust me?

Building Trust workshops and lectures examine these questions while actively building trust between participants leaving them with a fresh perspective, new knowledge, and a set of tools for creating trusting relationships and connections in all aspects of life.

There is no better way to learn and change than the experiential way. These workshops and active lectures utilize simple yet powerful Acro games (also called “Acro-Yoga” or “Acro-Balance”), that are tailored to the ability and needs of any group. No previous experience required! These games are both fun and 

challenging, while enabling us to really feel what we are talking about – trust.

  • Learn about trust through psychology and cognitive science, physiology, and eastern traditions
  • Experience “Acro” – human pyramids in pairs and groups
  • Learn and practice “Therapeutic Flying” – the soft side of Acro
  • Recognize key points for building trust in relationships
  • Establish roots for creating trusting connections with members of the group

Join in for a heartwarming, connecting experience that will elevate your connection with others!

  • Hanna Alkalai - Director of Physical Services in the Jerusalem District
    The workshop was perfect for our needs. Attentive, fresh, rhythmic and smart. Oded is simply excellent!
  • Sharon Gerber - Human Resources Manager - Observe IT
    "I am happy to recommend Zohar EXP's workshops. Oded took us through an experiential workshop with soft acrobatics in two sessions, we looked for an experiential workshop to support the organizational change in our development teams, and we were surprised how much we managed to achieve in 8 hours. Oded had managed to affect people from a personal and collective place and even conveyed organizational messages. He adapted himself to the group, managed to motivate people to open up in group dynamics and managed to move people out from their comfort zone. It was beneficiary to the company and employees alike and a great success."
