A series of regular meetings in a permanent group is already underway, so we are organizing a 3-hour workshop for those who would like to immerse themselves in practice for one Sunday evening 🙂
*** I invite you to the Movement of Feeling workshop, during which: ***
– we will find a sense of security in the body
-we calm and regenerate the nervous system
– we will regain the strength and trust that flow from meeting another person – taking care of our limits, creating a space for both receiving and giving support to the other person – in deep, invigorating awareness, joy, seriousness and flow!
-we release traffic that often carries more than a thousand words
-we will unlock access to the power that comes from reviving and defrosting the tensions that we have gathered recently.
HOW?
The road leads through:
-practice of being present in the body (somatic practices, elements of mindfulness, somatic education)
-free, intuitive dance that allows you to go beyond the known patterns (you don’t have to ‘know’ anything – I’ll lead you with my voice so that you won’t even notice when you start swimming and dancing 🙂
– (cooperation) with the body – through an attentive, soothing touch, supporting in “recovering” the body and feeling and in establishing authentic contact.
*** MORE ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS ***
We will guide our attention through the layers and structures of our body, using working with experimental anatomy as a way – to awaken movement in harmony with the nature of the body.
We will open ourselves to the pleasure that comes from such a movement, to the exploration of a new perspective of perceiving the body, processes taking place in it, including injuries and problems.
Through self-massage and gentle touch, we will learn how to trust our hands, how to give and receive such attentive touch, taking care of our limits. We allow ourselves to take advantage of the support that can be given to us by another person.
In silence, in music, in a dance that will be a natural development of conscious movement, we will open ourselves to the joy of contact, to the power of experiencing together as a group. The pleasure that comes from free movement, from moving frozen areas of the body, and discovering new forms of movement.
By remaining aware of what is happening inside us, we will meet the other person. We will create flow and freedom in this meeting by deepening attention, but also by using a variety of methods and techniques that allow us to notice, leave or fully use the pattern we usually fall into when dancing together.
We will learn about tools that will help us open up new ways of establishing contact in dance, but above all, we will broaden our awareness of what happens to us during a meeting in motion.
By observing the relationship that develops between us, we will examine what presence in contact means for us, capturing the moments when we really meet and those when something blocks us from meeting here and now. Together we will look for alignment and flow.
We move in silence and with music. At each meeting, there will be space to share what we have experienced in the circle.
***IN OTHER WORDS…***
With mindfulness, gentleness, respect for the body and its hidden needs, we will plunge into conscious, free movement – one that:
– it will help to release the tension accumulated in the body
-Open you to feel pleasure
– deeply relaxes, reduces the effects of everyday stress
-discovers a new perspective for your body perception – its needs, injuries, problems
-can both indicate a problem and be a tool for solving it.
***FOR WHOM?***
Classes are for you if you feel that:
– you want to get used to dancing, but you don’t want to repeat and remember steps
– you would like to enrich your dance workshop with a new one
the perspective of experiencing the body in motion
– Your body gives you signals that it needs attention (tension in the body,
fatigue, a sense of numbness, chronic and mysterious pain)
– you want to get to know yourself better, take a gentle look at your relationship with your body, how you establish relationships with others 🙂
– you want to spend time with other people in an atmosphere of acceptance, freedom and awareness
– you have no experience with dancing and body work, but you get something
pulls in this direction …
I believe that conscious movement is a good from which we can all benefit – regardless of fitness, experience with movement or blockages in the head and other parts of us 🙂 Come if you feel this ‘call’ while reading this description!
Important – you do not need to be a dancer or have experience in consciously working with the body. I am happy to invite people to my classes who “have never done such things”;)
If you have them and you are immersed in this world not until today – also invite you.
Each encounter with the body and feeling is another step to deepen this relationship, and each group process carries its own unique power.

***REVIEWS***
… or a few words of feedback from participants of previous workshops:
“I felt cared for and safe, and at the same time completely free in movement and stillness in silence and in music. The space that Asia creates is magical,
and at the same time very embedding in the body …
Tensions are released and the volume of the body expands and it turns out that we have endless possibilities in the body as soon as we feel flow and relaxation ”
Monika
“I have been to your classes only once and I remember them most beautifully! It was exactly what I needed then … and what I think I still need.
I felt at home – and in myself, in my body, and among the others present in the room, which was perhaps even more surprising. It was a completely beautiful journey of discovering the movement of my body on the wings of tenderness and acceptance, to which I still return with my thoughts with warmth and emotion. ”
Veronica
“I was afraid of the classes on the excess of form over content, because several times in my life I came across, in my opinion, of course, artificially spiritual or developmental classes, and here it was really cool. Honestly, warmly, truly and in the way everyone wanted and needed, and pulled out what his ”
Ania
,, Asia it was great. I felt that I was with myself, experiencing myself in movement and in the body. Thoughts were gradually being replaced by mindfulness and experience. I really liked how you were with us. With great openness, power and gentleness. You made us move, you guided us, and you inspired us. A beautiful experience. Thank you very much for them. As a therapist, I know that it is not so easy to lead and give the opportunity to find my own way of moving, dancing … A wonderful experience, I want more. ”

Joanna Książkiewicz
I love to listen to the wisdom of the body, to move, dance, connect. I draw strength from singing, dancing and contact with nature. It amazes me how the paths of our movement reveal and help to transform what is playing in our mind and soul. I love traditional songs, discovering the secrets of the human body, myths and the other side of a fairy tale.
