HEAR. SEE. SENSE. FEEL ALIVE. Documentary with Reini Hauser and Ekaterina Skvortsova
This is a film about the courage to keep talking when everything is against it. It is 2022. Many relationships have been broken off, dreams put on hold. But this can also be a special time for inner work at home.

We met the Swiss process-oriented psychologists Ekaterina and Reini in Zurich. Reini Hauser has worked with clients from Russia and Ukraine for decades. In these difficult times, he and his wife Ekaterina continue this work, keeping the dialogue alive. We thank Vlad Sakovich, a facilitator from Russia, for organizing and co-facilitating the (online) Open Forum. The dialogue continues — and that can rightly be considered a safeguard against autocracy.
*Watching this film may bring up difficult feelings. Please take care of yourself.
Dr. Reini Hauser is a psychotherapist and co-director of the Institute for Process Work (IPA) in Zurich.
Open Forums are public gatherings that aim to foster public dialogue, address polarizing issues, and build community by bringing together different people and points of view.
This space is created for listening, agreeing and disagreeing, and supporting direct, nonviolent interaction among participants. Open Forums highlight the need for relationships between people with opposing views, to deepen understanding of one another’s experience and to reduce hostility in society. The facilitation methodology for Open Forums was developed in detail by the American psychologist Arnold Mindell, PhD. At the center of the facilitator’s attention is the awareness that helping the world begins with knowing oneself, not with striving for change. Open Forums are among the most powerful forms of dialogue, with roots in ancient times. They are a free space between “true” and “false,” “right” and “wrong,” “bad” and “good,” “us” and “the enemy,” where everyone involved can share their thoughts and emotions and express their pain, aggression, depression, joy, anger and gratitude — everything that allows the group to bring out different voices and opinions, find hot spots, clarify polarities, go through conflicts, grow closer and move forward. Open Forums are inner work for groups. Facilitating an Open Forum requires special skill.
You can read about how to prepare and run Open Forums in Arnold Mindell’s book The Deep Democracy of Open Forums.
