在把愛分享給他人的同時，我們也重新感受到愛回流的力量。這次工作坊之所以特別，是因為我們不僅結合了藝術療癒與身體律動，更迎來一位「嚮光青年」以老師的身份回到嚮光的創意教育工作坊。來自台東的小虎，2015 年第一次參加嚮光工作坊，而在 2025 年，他以老師的身分再次加入我們，這份跨越十年的回流，正是嚮光 15 年深耕所孕育出的良善循環。

從線上會議到多次在辦公室討論流程，我們一步步打造出一個能讓苗栗的夥伴們自在表達、同時認識在地文化與臺灣特有動物的學習場景。本次以瀕臨絕種的黑面琵鷺、臺灣石虎與櫻花鉤吻鮭三種動物及其棲地現況為主軸，期望透過理解牠們所面臨的威脅，引導大家培養更深層的同理與關懷。
在認識物種背景後，我們透過藝術、身體律動與舞蹈，創造與動物之間的情感連結。對來自幼安教養院的夥伴們而言，這樣的多感官刺激不但增進了心理與肢體的活力，更讓他們在參與中綻放光彩。小虎老師分享，他看到大家從暖身到戶外呈現的全程專注與投入，深受感動，這個秋天少有的晴空也成為這段學習旅程的完美背景。
這次也迎來新的大朋友加入，他們對於工作坊所需投入的能量與互動深度感到驚訝。與其說是志工服務，不如說是一場真誠的交流：陪伴、鼓勵、自信建立與內在賦能，都在過程中真實發生。願意理解彼此、調整我們的溝通方式，是關係建立的關鍵，也是嚮光讓學習變得有趣又具啟發性的核心理念。
這一天午餐則帶來臺灣經典的純植料理——花生粉與香菜點綴的「素米血糕」，搭配滷味拼盤與在地特色小點，瞬間勾起大家對台灣街頭美食的回憶。
我們從不只是提供物資、課本上的知識或一份餐點而已；我們在意的是與彼此共享當下、一起創造生命中的美好時刻——這才是活著真正的價值。
我們深深感謝您理解並支持這份信念，與我們一起推動一個更有同理、更溫暖的世界！

In sharing love to others, we also gain love in turn. This workshop was a special one not only featuring therapeutic art and dance, but also featured one of our Bright Side youths. Having our teacher Hugh Hu, one of our youth from Taitung who first attended Bright Side workshops in 2015 come full circle in 2025 in becoming a teacher in a workshop, was a step in the right direction that Bright Side Projects has been on for 15 years.
From coming phone calls and numerous meetings in the office to go over the rundown, we were able to create something that our friends in MiaoLi could express themselves with while learning about the local culture and animals of Taiwan. Through leading the workshop on the three various animals in their original habitat and what threatens them; the Black-faced spoonbill (黑面琵鷺), Taiwanese leopard cat (臺灣石虎) and the Formosan landlocked salmon (櫻花鉤吻鮭) , we hope that a little of understanding can lead a long way in compassion.
From learning about their backgrounds we tried to connect everyone with the animals also through art, movement and dance. This was a bonus for our friends at Yuan Boarding Shelter who blossom under more opportunities to be have mental and physical sparks of engagement. Teacher Hugh said that he felt especially reinvigorated in energy when he saw how attentive and in tune they were during the entire workshop from warm up to a fantastic performance outside under the blue skies and rare sunlight this fall season.
We had new Big Friends with us this time, who were surprised at the intensity and level of interaction that our workshops required from previous “volunteer” work. Actual interaction, encouragement, and building of self esteem and empowerment takes place during the engagements. Understanding of others and adapting our communication methods are key to building friendships and also, Bright Side workshop curriculum that makes learning fun and exciting.
Lunch was a special vegan rice “blood” cake that’s famous in Taiwan, sprinkled with peanut powder and cilantro, along with the local fixture of braised mixtures of veggies and Asian snacks, harkening back to Taiwan street food delicacies.
None of us are here simply to provide a material item, textbook education, just a meal – we are here to share and experience these moments with each other. That’s what truly living life is about. We appreciate that you know the value of this and what we are doing to try to make the world a more compassionate and loving place for everyone.
