Tickets available at AnnTin studio: [https://www.eversports.ch/org/activity/a3ac0cae-7fe8-4a6d-ae56-3961e0214445](https://www.eversports.ch/org/activity/a3ac0cae-7fe8-4a6d-ae56-3961e0214445) Stress is eating you up? Can't stop overthinking? And when you finally want to get some rest after a hard day at work, you can't sleep? Prolonged stress can seriously affect your health, even contributing to burnout. The good news, there are many ways to reduce stress and keep it at a reasonable level. Somatic exercises help you regulate your nervous system, calm your body down, and release built-up tension. The exercises are part of a body psychotherapy method created by doctor and therapist Alexander Lowen in the 1950s. We are guided by one key concept: our feelings are reflected in our bodies. And our bodies have the power to regulate our emotions and heal the mind. Remember the last time you were extremely stressed? Chances are high you experienced it on a physical level. Sensations such as: Faster heartbeat - Headache - Tense shoulders - The feeling of something sitting in your throat - Stomach pains or nausea - A sense of having soft and weak legs These are just some of the examples of how our bodies react to stress. Research shows that chronic stress can have a negative impact on our heart, immune and digestive systems, hormones, and memory, to name but a few. According to a review of **various studies body psychotherapy approaches may bring about the reduction in people’s psychological distress.** This workshop will give you easy tools to use when your stress levels rise. Deepening the practice at home will help you build stress resilience in the long run. The workshop will be especially useful for people who **experience work-related stress but anyone can benefit from the practice.** What you'll learn and try out: - You'll understand your own stress response better. - You'll pay more attention to early stress signs and will be able to react before stress hits you hard. - You'll try simple exercises to manage stress tension on the go, even during a coffee break at work, not just sitting on a meditation **pillow in a quiet spa** - You'll gain the tools to build your lifelong stress resilience. We’ll cover the most common body symptoms and experiment with relevant somatic (bioenergetic) exercises for stress. The workshop is open to participants of all genders. **Your Facilitator** Anka Grzywacz is a psychologist and body psychotherapist **in training (final year of a 4.5-year training). She has extensive experience and 1.5 years of training in the facilitation of psychological workshops. She is also a sex therapist.** **Practical information** - Cozy studio near Triemli sto - Small group of max 7 people (all genders allowed - Unfortunately the workshop room is not easily accessible for people with movement difficulties (you have to go down a few steps) - Easy access via tram and train - Tickets Early Bird: 70 CHF, regular 80 CHF **Contraindications** - Pregnancy - History of psychotic episodes or taking antipsychotic medicatio - If you take antidepressants, you may participate, but only if you feel stable enough. I suggest discussing with a therapist or psychiatrist first. Somatic work in a group can be a valuable addition to talk-only psychotherapy, provided you feel stabilized - Sensitivity to noises, stomping (some people release emotions by making loud sounds, some exercises include stomping or kicking) - If you have another serious health condition or are taking strong medication, please consult your doctor first or message me for an initial assessment Here's what the participants of my somatic exercise workshops are saying *"I had the pleasure of working with Anka for a somatic exercise session, and I couldn't be more impressed with her expertise and approach. From the moment we began, Anka's calm and intuitive guidance made me feel completely at ease. She carefully tailored the session to my needs, offering clear instructions and creating a safe, supportive environment that allowed me to fully relax and connect with my body. Anka’s deep understanding of somatic principles was evident, and her ability to gently guide me through each movement left me feeling more aware, grounded, and rejuvenated. I highly recommend Anka to anyone looking to explore somatic exercises or deepen their mind-body connection.*

We'll get in around 4 miles at Three Creeks Metro Parks, primarily natural trails. 17-18 minute miles, no one left behind, and faster walkers are free to lead out. Optional lunch after! If you're joining for hiking all the metro parks, this is the sixth one!

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events! Should be another good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan
