The FFPE – Federation of the European Public Service invites you to a conference.
Organised in partnership with Gudrun Mahlberg on October 15, 2026

Dear Colleagues,

The Federation had the great pleasure to invite you to the conference on the "Brown Out" which took place on 15th of October 2026.
This Conference was given by the guest Speaker Gudrun MAHLBERG founder of the SHANDORA - Dance You Life, and Creator of Dance Hypnosis (TM)

After a 30 years career at the European Commission, she changed direction at 52 to build a practice around movement, hypnotherapy and somatic coaching.

The thematic concerns when : You meet your deadlines. You do your job well. From the outside, everything seems fine. Yet something has quietly changed: your motivation is fading, your energy feels flat, and you find yourself wondering what it is all for.

This experience is sometimes called brownout. In this talk, Gudrun Mahlberg will explore how a loss of meaning can develop while someone continues to function at work. Participants will learn to recognise the signs, reflect on what may be draining their energy, and identify practical first steps towards reconnecting with what matters to them.

Gudrun helps people reconnect with their bodies, energy, and sense of direction. Her 40 years of dance teaching and her training in hypnotherapy and trauma informed somatic coaching are real assets. Her work on brownout focuses on a question she knows personally: what happens when you can still fulfil your responsibilities, but no longer feel connected to the life behind them?

We thank the great number of colleagues and attendees for the participation!
