Wherever we go, whatever we do, whoever we meet, we are constantly in some kind of a relationship with the world around us. If we take a moment to look at our lives through a prism of relationships, we can soon see the network and variety of different relationships that our lives are fulfilled with - from relationship with yourself, with others, with nature, with social structures present in our lives, with the time we live in and events that are occurring. Whether we are aware of it or not, we are also in a constant relationship with the life force flowing through us every second of our life.
Relationships are not easy. They often take time, dedication, willingness to show up, to explore, to look inside of us and to offer what we find in the space between us. They often push and pull as to grow and not always in the way we would like. But at the same time, relationships are gifts that make our human lives rich, joyous, passionate and fulfilled.
In this 6 week course we will be investigating the nature and nurture of relationships we have in our lives. We will be exploring how to navigate and enrich the roads of the connections we have and those we would like to create.
TOPICS:
- what is a relationship - connection and attachment
- boundaries vs. openness- self-care in relationships
- projection and transference - undigested patterns that get in the way
- sensitivity, compassion and empathy - how to feel with instead of feel for
- responsibility in relationships
- needs in relationships
- conflict in relationships
- holistic approach to relationships
- dialogue in relationships
- listening in relationship
- the victim and the perpetrator roles in relationships
- archetypes of your relationships
- security in relationships

About Kaya:
Kaya works as an integrative body-oriented psychotherapist and Movement Medicine teacher Zagreb, Croatia. She is one of the four founders of Center Meleta, center for integrative body oriented psychotherapy and well-being.
Kaya has been working individually and in groups with adults and adolescents for many years and has been practicing body-oriented psychotherapy for over a decade.
As this type of therapy is based on the process work and presence of the soul in the body, training in Movement Medicine was another step on her journey of supporting the embodiment of the soul. These two practices are continuously enriching both her and her offering and create a safe, rich and creative field for her students. She is continuously amazed with how the Spirit manifests through the wiring of our personalities.
Kaya also teaches Movement Medicine regularly- as monthly classes, weekend workshops and ceremonies.
About Anna:
Anna Sierpowska practitioner, student and teacher, I derive my energy and knowledge from many years of practicing and training deep conscious movement. The path of conscious movement is marked by Movement Medicine - contact with the body and nature of life, but also bodywork, fascial massage. The body is the house we live in, only a place on earth that we can have the greatest impact on by how we live every day. Working with the body gives tremendous power in life - in my practice I also include therapeutic work in the current of A. Lowen's Bioenergetic Analysis, leading groups and therapeutic consultations. I am based in Warsaw, Poland and also work abroad.
