How does embodied self-awareness support the healing process? Which role does it play in intrapersonal relationships?

This workshop series offers a practical exploration of how movement, breath, and somatic awareness influence our mood, inner dialogue, and perception of ourselves and others. Through a blend of embodied exercises and reflective discussions, we will engage in various self-care practices, while also exploring the role of embodied presence in therapeutic contexts.

Content: 

  • Building a support system via body-listening
