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 care which 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.
OCCASIONALLY 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.

1-1 Client “I had 1-1 Qigong sessions with Kasia, and they were truly transformative. Their knowledge, care, and affirming nature created a supportive environment that was both mind and heart-opening. From Qigong to reading, podcasts, and general supportive messages, they offer the full package and shares it all from an egoless place. These sessions were an amazing tool for my health, my disregulated nervous system, and, unbeknownst to me at the time, have become an amazing channel for my creative practice. Qigong feels like an understated practice. As a neurospicy girl with ADHD, meditation with these subtle movements gifted me the chance to practice mindfulness. Highly recommended for all ages, abilities, and goals”.

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.
