About the event

Meditation is the path to the Heart You are warmly invited to an 8-week meditation course, including the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR®) method by Jon Kabat-Zinn, as well as somatic bodywork based on Somatic Experiencing®. 🗓️ The course will start on September 11 and end on October 30. It will consist of 9 meetings: eight on Thursdays from 9:00 AM in Old Mokotów, Warsaw (and online for those unable to attend in person) & one Mindfulness Day from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM with a one-hour meal break, which will take place on October 11 at the Zen Center "Bodhidharma" in Falenica: https://www.facebook.com/events/624276267350824 About the course: Since 2010, when MBSR appeared in Poland, I have been leading these courses continuously – as a teacher, Zen Buddhist, and a person facing my own inner demons. Over time, I have enriched this structure with techniques supporting effective use of meditation practices. I create a space for sharing in a safe circle (in accordance with the SE approach). What can you expect? - Guided meditation and group discussion of experiences - Embodied experience of the power of unconditional love and acceptance, which is the heart of meditation - Meeting in the raw truth of the present moment, before the voice of the critic and in self-compassion - Building resilience and strength - Letting go of old beliefs and patterns (sometimes through grief and pain) - Grounding and self-regulating practices - Releasing difficult emotions held in the body - Conscious contact with needs and boundaries About meditation: Mindfulness is awareness – non-judgmental presence with what we feel in the moment. By practicing it, we stop feeding thoughts, which are often the main source of stress. The body – always present – constantly calls for our attention, reacting even to unconscious content. Meditation allows us to pause, notice what we are doing to ourselves, and take responsibility for it. ❗ Important: Meditation does not replace psychotherapy, but it can support it. Before starting the course, it is worth informing your therapist about it. Contraindications are: active depression, severe anxiety, psychosis, addictions, active PTSD. The course includes: - 8 group meetings (hybrid) - All-day Mindfulness Day (11.10) - Daily home practice (min. 30 minutes a day) with recordings: body scan, meditation, mindful yoga, and more 💰 Course cost: - Price: 1600 PLN (possibility to pay in installments) - Deposit: 800 PLN reserves a spot (limited number of places) - For returning participants: 1400 PLN - In case of resignation during the course, the full fee applies ✉️ Registration only by email: [email protected] 📞 Introductory conversation (mandatory): Before registering, I invite you to a short phone conversation: 607 494 787 🌐 https://www.magakorbel.com You are warmly invited!
