“A Woman's Body Remembers” — author meeting with Dorota Dusik

Attention! Entry to the event is free. Before you head out, check whether the event will take place as planned — if anything changes, you will find that information on our website and on social media.

We invite you to an author meeting with Dorota Dusik, author of the book “A Woman's Body Remembers – a healing journey through sexuality, the womb and the heart”.

The meeting will be a space to talk about what often happens quietly: about the memory of the body, about shame and desire, about closeness that cannot be forced, and about love that does not hurt.

This is an invitation to look at these issues more broadly — not as a “task to be completed” or something that needs to be perfected, but as an area where heart, body, history and the need to be seen meet. During the meeting, as in the book, an important thought will return: the body remembers not only pain or freezing, but also the way back — when you begin to listen to it, trust it and respect its pace.

If you want:

• for your body to stop “carrying” tension and to become your home again
• to build a mature relationship
• to experience a love that includes tenderness, safety and calm, while leaving room for truth, boundaries and pleasure

During the event you will hear excerpts from the book and a story about the path that leads:

• from tension and disconnection to feeling and presence
• from shame and fear to gentleness and acceptance of oneself
• from relationships “for survival” to relationships that allow truth, boundaries and tenderness
• from “I must” to “I can”

There will also be space for questions and conversation — in an atmosphere of respect, delicacy and non-judgment. This meeting can be important for both women and men — for anyone who wants to build a mature relationship and a deeper contact with their own body and heart.

At the meeting we will:

• read selected excerpts from the book
• talk about body memory, relationships, closeness and the process of returning to oneself
• ask and answer questions

There is also a possibility of having the book signed by the author.

The meeting will be led by Katarzyna Auli Barszczewska.
