🌿 Fully Booked — Waitlist || Workshop theme - Renewal
\*ниже есть описание на русском
On **April 12** we will have the **“Renewal” practice**.
This theme can already be felt in the air — as if energy is coming back to life: the sun is brighter, there are more flowers around, and inside small sparks begin to appear, awakening the desire to live, create, and explore
This practice is meant to support that state. To move into something new, it is helpful to first create space for it. There is always something that moves us forward, but also something that holds us back
During the practice we will explore, through our sensations, where these darker inner corners are that could be filled with light, and where inside us there are resources that can help us move in the direction we truly want
**What will happen in the session**
🌸 Gentle and respectful contact in clothes
(for participants’ comfort we follow the rule: “yes” means yes, “no” means no)
💃 Dance interaction and conscious movement
🫶 Communication and attentive presence
✨ Breathing practices
The practices are done **fully clothed** and do not contain any religious or sexual context
Tantric practices are about connection and about learning to feel your body and energy more deeply.
They help release inner blocks, open creativity, and enrich contact with a partner.
And they also create a soft, warm space for heartfelt communication 🌿
You can come **with a partner or find one** during the session
**For couples** — it’s an opportunity to experience something new together and discover new dimensions of connection
For those who come **alone** — it’s a space where you can be seen as a man or a woman, gently and safely filled with attention, contact, and touch, and explore ideas of how to expand your ability to feel and build conscious connection with a partner
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
🪷 Come — it’s a safe and interesting space to be yourself
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-

12 апреля нас ждет практика “**Обновление**”
Эта тема чувствуется сейчас в воздухе как оживление энергии - солнце ярче, цветов больше и внутри появляются огонечки и оживают желания жить, творить, исследовать..
В поддержку этого состояния и будет практика. Чтобы идти во что-то новое, хорошо освободить для этого пространство. Всегда есть то, что нас двигает вперед , но и то, что нас сдерживает
Мы посмотрим на уровне ощущений где эти темные уголки, которые можно заполнить светом и где внутри нас ресурсы, способные нам помочь двигаться в том направлении, куда нам хочется
Приглашаю в воскресенье 12 апреля на практику
Зал открыт с **17:30, в 17:45 начало, окончание в 21:00**
### Что будет на занятии
🌸 Мягкий и уважительный контакт в одежде
(«да» — это да, «нет» — это нет)
💃 Танцевальное взаимодействие и осознанное движение
🫶 Общение и внимательный контакт
✨ Дыхательные практики
Практики проводятся в одежде и не содержат религиозного или сексуального контекста
Тантрические практики — это про контакт и умение лучше чувствовать тело и энергию
Они помогают снять внутренние блоки, раскрыть творчество и обогатить контакт с партнёром
А ещё — это мягкое, тёплое пространство для душевного общения 🌿
Можно прийти вдвоём или найти пару уже на занятии
Для тех, кто в паре — это новый совместный опыт.
Для тех, кто приходит один — пространство для внимания, контакта и исследования чувствительности.
🪷 Здесь безопасно и интересно быть собой
🗣 Занятие на русском с переводом на английский

### Review
“With a thoughtfully curated series of essays, poetry, and conversations, Johnson has assembled a group of dynamic people who are willing to imagine what seems impossible, and articulate those visions with enthusiastic clarity. The problem of climate change is a significant one, but What If We Get It Right? reminds us that with passion and ingenuity, there is so much we can accomplish.”—Roxane Gay
“This book had me at its title. Through a collection of thoughtful essays and interviews, Johnson explores the possibility of getting it right with a visionary group of environmental leaders, activists and other big thinkers working on the front lines. Johnson, who has become a prominent voice on climate solutions, reminds us that there is also joy in working toward a future where we can all thrive.”—Los Angeles Times
“This is the book we’ve been waiting for—a brilliant mix of creativity and wisdom that feels like we’re eavesdropping on intimate conversations with the world’s most brilliant change-makers. In What If We Get It Right?, Johnson weaves together art, poetry, and expert interviews into a deeply human exploration of the interconnected challenges we face. The result is a vision of a future filled with joy and possibility, where fixing one problem helps us solve many more.”—Katharine Hayhoe, climate scientist, author, and UN Champion of the Earth
“An optimistic bent and eager embrace of solutions… these conversations are as much about ‘getting it right’ as they are about what we are currently getting wrong. Johnson is a top-notch interviewer, and her guests are insightful and candid.”—Scientific American
“An entirely credible (and entirely enchanting) voice… Ayana Johnson is no Pollyanna. She’s a hard-nosed and extremely competent scientist who has not shied for a minute from facing the hard truths.”—Bill McKibben
“Rigorous, elucidating, and hopeful in the most catalytic sense, this volume will stiffen your political will and open your mind and heart. It could arrive at no better moment.”—Rebecca Traister, bestselling author and writer for New York magazine
“I believe that this is a book that the young among us have been waiting for. It is certainly the reset that we as societies and as elders owe to coming generations of humanity—and to our magnificent natural world.”—Krista Tippett, Peabody Award-winning broadcaster, a National Humanities Medalist, and a New York Times bestselling author
“The climate crisis is terrifying, but also exhilarating—exhilarating because spectacular new ideas, approaches, and values are arising to address the terrifying stuff… Ayana Elizabeth Johnson's fantastic new anthology lets you listen to dozens of them.”—Rebecca Solnit, author, feminist, environmentalist
“Critically, What If We Get It Right? reminds us of the most important solution of all: protecting and restoring nature, the magic of photosynthesis and water cycle. If you need a kick in the pants to roll up your sleeves on climate solutions, this book is for you.”—Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia
“If you are enamored with possibility, as I am, let the perspectives gathered in these pages fill you up and propel you on. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson has prepared a genuine feast for us. Savor every ‘what if’ for our shared future.”—Dr. Katharine K. Wilkinson, co-editor of All We Can Save and lead writer of Drawdown
### About the Author
Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson is a marine biologist, policy expert, writer, and Brooklyn native. She co-founded and leads Urban Ocean Lab, a think tank for the future of coastal cities, and is the Roux Distinguished Scholar at Bowdoin College. Dr. Johnson co-edited the bestselling climate anthology All We Can Save, co-created and co-hosted the Spotify/Gimlet podcast How to Save a Planet, and co-authored the Blue New Deal, a roadmap for including the ocean in climate policy. She serves on the board of directors for Patagonia and GreenWave, and on the advisory board of Environmental Voter Project. Above all: She is in love with climate solutions.
