Learning is living

By Maria Gregoriou

The Home for Cooperation in Nicosia will be putting on two very different seminars/ workshops on Saturday. Well, what may seem very different to some could be one and the same for others.

The first is a seminar on breastfeeding. It will start at 10am and last for two hours. The Cyprus Breastfeeding Association – which is one of the organisers – calls breastfeeding the gift of life, but that does not mean that the gift doesn’t come with its own stress.

The seminar (which will also be repeated on Tuesday) is suitable for parents and health professionals.

Returning to the theme of stress, stick around at the Home because at 4.30pm we will be shown how we can get rid of stress – or de-stress – during a stress management workshop.

The workshop will be run by experienced career and life coach Christina Demetriades.

Demetriades will teach us about the methods we can use to detox from stress, showing us some techniques for stress management and harmonious living during a three-hour session. You will also receive individual coaching and on-the-spot advice.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
