Trainers

Experienced Embodied & Ontological Master Coaches, Leadership trainers and Somatic masters. We believe that mastery is achieved only by integrating our head, heart and gut. We have to know ourselves well to really own our impact. So our method goes on connection of four parts: 

• body or. how we function, 
• identity or. inner theatre, 
• mind – way of thinking,
• soul – who you need to become.

Support and presence of facilitators & teachers will be at all times  to help you develop your competence and distinction. It is a great learning environment to be in together in this transformative quest.

She has held workshops in Slovenia and abroad for more than 15 years. Kristina tells her stories through movement. In Ishmech, a unique method of active exercises that links the individual to his or her own form of movement, dancing and sensing of music, she has discovered harmony between music and the body. Using her own unique methods, she teaches others how to achieve a state in which the person flows with movement and music, when everything becomes one, a perfect moment. And with Gurdijeff Movements given very precisely by Gurdjieff as a powerful tool for growth, the practice of movements creates amazing conditions for transforming the body –machine into a place where the forces of intelligence, heart, and action can freely expand, through the development of a certain quality of attention and relaxation. Embody the wisdom. Present whole retreat.
