I’m available to partner with charities, organizations, and B-Corps to develop bespoke workshops.
At the the art of my work there are two guiding modalities that inform the way I facilitate: creative action and collective carewhich are rooted in inclusive, trauma informed approach.
I facilitate workshops integrating Qigong + Engaged Buddhism, for personal, collective and planetary wellbeing.
In my workshops, participants are invited into practices of mindfulness and intentional movement that support grounded, imaginative responses to the ecological and social challenges of our time. Through embodied awareness, we explore how personal cultivation becomes the foundation for collective transformation.
I ALSO WORK IN A 1-1 SETTING, PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR MORE INFORMATION.
THREE PILLARS OF MY APPROACH
Inviting Stillness
Combining stillness and silence frees up a space for experience and self-reflection.By using our senses as anchors to draw our attention to the present moment. Practicing mindfulness improves cognition, reduce stress and spark self-compassion.
Intentional Movement
Movement triggers the production of your brain's feel-good neurotransmitters, like dopamine and endorphins. Slow, intentional movement of Qigong strengthens the body-mind connection. Practicing this way allows us to feel and sense (rather than being explained by someone else) is truly empowering. Qigong also improves the posture, reduces pain, increases mobility and helps build stamina.
Deep Listening
Self-reflection and self-compassion helps us develop a greater self-awareness, which is a main component of our emotional intelligence. Whether through a conversation, further reading recommendations or by providing recorded meditations, my intention is to allow space that will foster a deeper sense of connection. Although I'm not a therapist myself, over the years, I've experienced the power of a simple conversation. Which is why a deep listening is a part of my method.

“Kasia created a welcoming atmosphere for everyone involved. As creative director of The Active Looking Project I particularly appreciated the way they guided participants through both seated and standing activities as a standard baseline offer without fuss. Kasia’s sensitivity in sharing their lived experience of long‑term health conditions added depth and authenticity to the session and the feedback afterwards was excellent. Their thoughtful, responsive facilitation made the whole experience extremely positive. Highly recommended and a big thumbs up from Make it Better (mitber) CIC ."

about kasia
I’m a multi-passionate, neurodivergent facilitator, researcher and photographer, connecting the dots between Engaged Buddhism, Meditation, Qigong and the Natural World. I hold a MA in Buddhist Studies with the University of South Wales and my research explored whether Zen can really be expressed through (Zen) Arts.
I’m passionate about Climate + Social Justice, Diversity and Inclusion. As a practicing Buddhist I believe that Buddhist principles and practices can be applied to address social, political, and environmental issues.
