Dear customers.
Trust.
This term will take center stage starting in October. We will devote special attention to it by asking questions, listening, and discerning.
Psychoanalyst and author Jeannette Fischer will speak with people from various disciplines and walks of life on five Sundays to reflect on the topic of trust .
The venue is the paradis collections boutique, hosted by Stefania Samadelli. Kicking things off on October 5 (10:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.) will be the fashion designer herself. In a conversation with Dana Sindermann, she will talk about " The Trust Network of paradis collections," shedding light on trust in her own way.
Jeannette Fischer is keen to approach the topic of trust from a variety of perspectives, not least to find out how this term, which is familiar to all of us, actually consists: Does trust mean confidence, conviction, trust in God, or simply reliability?
As a psychoanalyst, she assumes that the only thing that connects people is the recognition of difference, the recognition that the other is not their self. This raises the questions: Where can trust be located in this context? Is it still needed, or does it already exist?
