Awareness Training: Body, Emotions, Thoughts, Relationships – 13th Edition

Awareness Training was created based on the movement language in the Laban Bartenieff Movement System (LBMS), dance and movement therapy, and BodyMind Dancing. Five sessions form a coherent cycle of classes held on weekends (Saturday–Sunday). This is an original program led for 10 years by Agnieszka Sokołowska (therapist, dance/movement supervisor with additional specialization in movement analysis – Laban International Movement Studies certificate – and Body Mind Dancing Teacher).

One of the movement language trainers and conscious bodywork facilitators, who completed the Year Course “Conscious Body, Movement Language,” will assist and support the shared space with attentive presence from the level of body, heart and mind.

Benefits of participating in the training:

• Experience key elements of the movement language.
• Opportunity to work with life topics (relationships, emotions, beliefs) and embrace their healing power through body-based work.
• Development of kinesthetic empathy and the ability to read signals coming from the body.
• Practice of nonverbal communication, mirroring and attunement.
• Learning developmental movement patterns and their connection to psyche and physicality.
• Broadening insight into universal components of human movement.
• Deepening understanding of your own movement and experiencing how movement supports work with thoughts, emotions and relationships.
• Learning the Bartenieff technique concerning natural, full-flow movement.

The program has coherent logic. Between meetings, individual work (movement and cognitive) is planned.
