The Orchestra of Emotions, a set of 43 emotional intelligence cards. Who’s the conductor?

Balanced research and practice

The Orchestra of Emotions is a systemic approach to emotion regulation that has been developed from psychology (e.g. Fredrickson), pedagogy (e.g. Korthagen) and philosophy (e.g. Wilber). This broad approach appeals to gifted people because cognition and emotion are activated in cooperation, this meets the need to look at themes from a cohesive point of view. During the workshop, each participant investigates the use, operation and application of the Orchestra of Emotions, which consists of 43 emotion cards in different categories. In-depth and theoretical information is shared on the basis of each participant's experience, enabling them to look for applications in their own practice.The Orchestra of Emotions is an aid in relation to intensiveness and sensitivity of highly gifted children and adults. By using the Orchestra, insight is gained into the difference between the essence of a feeling or emotion and behaviour, which promotes emotion regulation; are you the conductor?
