Lífeyriss

Lífeyriss is a term that combines the Icelandic words "líf" meaning life and "eyr" meaning ear. It refers to a unique cultural practice in Iceland where individuals share personal stories, experiences, and insights through a structured conversation format. This practice is often used in community settings, such as book clubs, support groups, or social gatherings, to foster a sense of connection and mutual understanding.

The Lífeyriss format typically involves a facilitator who guides the conversation, ensuring that each participant has an opportunity to speak. The facilitator may ask open-ended questions to encourage participants to share their thoughts and feelings openly. The goal of Lífeyriss is to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals can express themselves without fear of judgment.

By engaging in Lífeyriss, participants can gain a deeper understanding of themselves and others, leading to improved relationships and a greater sense of community.
