Cycle IX-XI: Regular Lowen Practice Sessions

About the event

Hello, On October 2nd, we invite you to the next group session as part of the ongoing Cycle IX–XII, dedicated to working with the body and emotions using the Bioenergetic Analysis method (Lowen's method)! You can still join the entire Cycle or take advantage of the one-time meeting option. 🔗 Registration link: https://www.przyblizenia.pl/wydarzenia WHAT IS LOWEN PRACTICE? During the sessions, through the combination of movement, breath, and body awareness, we will explore how we experience our emotions and interact with others. Gradually, we will expand the range of expressing feelings and ways of communication to better understand ourselves and our reactions in relationships. Each meeting will begin and end with a short exchange of experiences, while most of the time will be devoted to movement exercises and bodywork. These practices support the development of self-awareness, allow you to notice and release tension. Working in pairs and groups, meeting others, will be an opportunity for better understanding and gradual change of your relational patterns. Exercises may lead to more intense emotional experiences, so we pay special attention to creating a space full of safety and acceptance. Our experience shows that regular practice leads to greater relaxation, vitality, and improved well-being, which can support positive changes in everyday functioning.
