I invite you to a unique combination of a fascial massage course for beginners and sauna sessions, during which you will be able to 'test' your skills in massage exchanges in the fireplace room and in the sauna!

👉🔥💪

FASCIA is a network of connective tissue that surrounds all structures in our body, binding them in fascial bands that run throughout the body - connecting not only with the musculoskeletal system but also with the nervous and hormonal systems.

A monotonous lifestyle, chronic stress, and lack of adequate movement cause certain muscle groups to become overloaded, and the surrounding fascia to stiffen and stick together, limiting mobility and inducing inflammation.

FASCIAL MASSAGE, through various techniques of stretching, rolling, and pressure - performed 'dry' or with minimal lubricant - unglues the adhered tissues and restores the lost elasticity of the fascia, increasing the range of motion in the body.

The relaxation of stiff tissues and the resulting change in posture pattern is accompanied by the release of stored stress in the body and the dissolution of psychosomatic blocks that kept the body in increased, chronic tension, bringing relaxation not only on a physical level but also on a mental level.

--------------------------

The workshop is designed for beginners - in 5 hours of intensive practice, you will gain all the necessary tools to effectively and safely perform a relieving and soothing session of fascial massage of the back, neck, and shoulders.

👉 I will guide you through the entire process from the first touch to the final finish.

👉 We will talk about different qualities of touch and the impact through concentration of attention and energy.

👉 I will discuss the topic of boundaries, emotions, safety rules, building trust, and responsibility.

👉 I will present basic techniques and their possible modifications.

👉 I will show you how to control your own posture and take care of work ergonomics and avoid the most common mistakes.

👉 I will talk about the importance of the active participation of the person receiving the massage and the key role of breath in the process.

There will also be time for questions and to address your expectations and needs expressed during a short opening circle at the beginning of the meeting.

💆‍♀️ Each of you will both give and receive a massage, exchanging in pairs in any configurations.

👫 If you are signing up as a couple, you can perform all exercises together.

🌿 From 5:00 PM, you will have sauna ceremonies and space to practice techniques, ask questions, and exchange skills in the sauna and in the relaxation room.

🙌 I invite completely beginners as well as everyone who has had some contact with massage but does not know fascial massage techniques or is looking for an opportunity to practice, needs consultation, or simply wants to relax in a pleasant group of people interested in working with the body - giving and receiving short massage sessions as a mutual exchange.

----------------------------

How to prepare?

- It is worth bringing a pareo and your own sheet or towel.

- For using the sauna, at least 2 towels, a hat (optionally a bathrobe and flip-flops) will be useful.

- On the day of the workshop, I recommend a light, meatless, and dairy-free diet and drinking plenty of pure, non-carbonated water, which supports cleansing and energy flow in the body.

Cost of participation in the workshop - 300 PLN/person.

The evening will be led by Natalia 'Xymena' Ambroziak - fascial massage therapist MAS and MER, breath trainer, BBTRS therapist, combining various modalities of working with the body, breath, and nervous system in her work.

In the Jazdów area, parking is prohibited; we recommend using public transport or arranging shared rides.

---------------------------------

We promote conscious sauna practices in an atmosphere of maximum freedom and mindfulness.

Each participant engages in individual work with their own body within the limits of their needs and possibilities.

Everyone also takes responsibility for the comfort of the group, caring for a shared sense of safety.

- We sauna without textiles - leave everything artificial outside. Nudity is freed from erotic context here.

- We only pour water on the stove when it is really hot; if it is not - we first add wood to it!

- We leave the sauna every time we feel that our body has had enough, allowing it to cool down properly.

- To give everyone a chance to listen to their body's needs, we adapt to the energy of the majority regarding whether to behave more quietly or loudly at that moment.

- During guided sessions, we maintain silence and focus on the sensations received through the senses.

------------------------------

Parostacja is a community-family sauna run by a COUPLE - the sauna builder, massaging with twigs - Wit Lucjan Morawski (Saunowisko) and Natalia Xymena Ambroziak (Radical Relaxation) - engaged in fascial massage and therapeutic work with the body, breath, and nervous system.

We come to the city with a sample of what we do every day in the Parostacja Health Resort, our magical grove near Warsaw, in the forest by the lake in Marynin near Grodzisk Mazowiecki.

Bathing in hot steam is treated as a ritual.

We work with the medicine of the elements - fire, water, air, and earth, as well as what the plant world gives us.

We create a safe space - social, open, and honest - where everything artificial is left outside.

We are guided by Slavic roots while also combining customs from various bathing cultures around the world - pirtys, bani, hammam, or sweat lodges.

Discovering forgotten traditions inspires us to continuously seek new ways to experience extreme temperatures and treat the sauna as a laboratory of constant multi-sensory experiments.

🌿 The specialty of Parostacja is healing journeys into altered states of consciousness with the help of hot compresses made from fragrant oak twigs and releasing tension, deep massage - in a ritual setting of dense aromas of incense, refreshing taste of frozen fruits, and soothing sounds of bowls and bells 🌿

We will return to Jazdów in a format well known to attendees of summer music and consciousness festivals, after which we circulate with our colorful and sonorous caravan, beyond the sauna, bodywork, and rituals, serving you a rich program of workshops, concerts, and cultural events.

We invite you to:

- concerts, jams, sets, audio dramas, and broadcasts of Paro-stacja - live from the Open Workshop space to the sauna

- literary meetings

- workshops on white and throat singing

- voice opening sessions in the sauna

- lectures on the use of herbs and incense in the sauna
