The Body Knows. Workshops following the screening of the film “Smoke Sauna Sisterhood”, dir. Anna Hints
PL / EN
Disconnected from our bodies, we often cross our boundaries or allow others to do so. Without perceiving the signals our bodies send, we often experience situations or events that violate our personal space. By not listening to what our body is telling us, we miss the occasions to turn towards ourselves, to take care of ourselves, to say "no" instead of "yes". After the screening of the extraordinary film “Smoke Sauna Sisterhood”, we invite you to a women's workshop where we will explore the tools which unlock body sensations, allowing us to feel and reinhabit since body is a wonderful place of wisdom and knows more than we may think.
Mindfulness practice gives a new perspective on our own experience. It teaches us to be aware of the processes within us. It allows us to take a step back to see more and avoid impulsive reactions. By bringing us back to the body, it teaches us to read its signals and thus enables us to make the best decisions taking ourselves as the main point of reference.
