The question is to know where we are headed; we have all experienced moments when we feel lost, moments when suffering consumes us, and we find no explanation for such adversity. Many of the women we work with live their lives in this state of emotional destabilization, and this condition worsens once they are incarcerated.

For this reason, within our mental health program, we have developed the "Meaning of Life" workshop, because we are convinced that it is essential for them to understand their objectives and existence in general, from a philosophical perspective.

Logotherapy is important for their development because it works with the body-mind-spirit-world axes, thus developing their own "Philosophy of Life" and "Attitude towards Life" by addressing topics such as freedom of choice, responsibility, will, meaning, self-realization, and self-transcendence.

With these types of tools and approaches, we enable them to discover, through their experience, their history, and motivations: Who decides? Why do they decide? And what do they choose? It is a valuable tool to shed light on painful situations. We seek that through logotherapy, they learn that any suffering that has meaning is not only less painful but also contributes to growth, always based on the value of the human being as a unique and unrepeatable individual.

The women we work with are serving sentences ranging from 3 to 70 years in prison. Therefore, we seek for them to find meaning in life through the techniques we teach, regardless of what fate may bring. To achieve this, we work on the person's existential motivation and focus on enabling them, through their human capacity, to recognize, adopt, and live their own existential values, accompanying them through crisis and in the process of regaining the stability they have lost, and subsequently helping them discover their specific capacities even within prison.

FIRST EDITION 2019 - This workshop consists of 12 sessions of 100 minutes each, has been held at the Nezahualcóyotl Sur prison and has benefited 15 women.
