Facilitated by Agata Krajewska
Supported by Rooh Star
Workshops open as one off's or a series.
Exploring the paradox of being human through play, creativity and theatre.
Can we allow ourselves to be everything, whilst staying in touch with the emptiness at the centre of it all?
What archetypal energies can we access as our doorways to power?
What identities do we hold dear?
Who is aware of it all?
We will explore how the forces of the four primary archetypes (mother, warrior, lover and witch) manifest in our lives and psyches- looking both at their pure power and blockages/distortions.
It is an opportunity to open and strengthen our access to these doorways and to digest past experiences that conditioned us and tell our stories.
Through working with archetypes we learn to allow powerful qualities to flow through us, despite of our "women's conditioning" .These are qualities of self- love, of intuitive knowing and psychic wisdom, of deep feeling and innocent eroticism, of strength and power.
It is also an opportunity to explore and collect material for a performance, though it is not expected.

“Agata holds a deeply nourishing space with graceful ease and a playfully light touch. This is a space where imaginings can take form and the archetypal forces within us all can emerge to tell their stories. Profoundly beautiful work (and play).”
“Transformational of inner life and community, connecting work with women of all ages and experience. Best piece of group work I have been part of for years.”
“This work gets to the heart of performance, to the vulnerability and honesty of the solo performer. And even more, it goes a long way to heal the rifts between women, the competition and the judgement we all suffer from, and invite us to truly be witnesses and celebrants of each other’s journeys.”
"I am not alone; there are hidden gifts; we need each other."
"This is important work you are doing-especially the work of empowering woman to have a voice and to bring their beingness more visibly into the world. The space you hold is gentle and safe and allows a natural unfolding and easy uncovering of the rich story each of us carries."
