Dance therapy with Irina Marinescu in Bucharest

Dance therapy is a gentle but powerful process that supports emotional balance, self-confidence, and mindful presence. Each movement is a step toward listening to your inner needs and rediscovering the joy of being. Dance therapy workshops have therapeutic goals and are conducted in groups in a safe, non-judgmental space. They are not and do not replace dedicated psychotherapy. It is a gentle but powerful process that supports emotional balance, self-confidence, and mindful presence. This practice uses tested and recognized methods from movement and therapy systems and techniques (Laban-Bartenieff, Somatic Movement, psychotherapy methods, Kestenberg, Authentic Movement, etc.).

Dance therapy workshop Recovery after Burnout/3 hours 30 min/6 people

Burnout is a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion caused by prolonged or repeated stress. In this workshop, we will discover how it affects us physically, mentally, and emotionally, what the symptoms are, and how we can counteract or recover from exhaustion and burnout.

What we will do:

• We will connect with our own bodies, sensations, and emotions in a relaxing and safe environment
• We will discuss personal experiences and find a way to express them through movement
• We will learn to work with our own and others' boundaries, with the ideas of failure and work, and how these are active in our long-repeated patterns.
• We will learn how to activate these tools of movement and awareness in stressful contexts that trigger unhealthy patterns.

Dance therapy workshop – Self Love/3 hours 30 min/6 people

Pleasure, joy, delight. Wouldn't it be easier to use these words to define our relationship with ourselves? Under this sign, we have created Self Love, a context where you can fall in love (with yourself) again through movement and dance.

What we will do:

• Let go of expectations and judgment
• You will give yourself a date with yourself for an afternoon
• We will listen to music that is perfect for a party
• We will start off intimate, pick up the pace, have fun, and take it easy
• We will return to better feelings

I'll tell you a secret: all the cells in our body want us to be well, and if you take a moment to listen to them, they will tell you that they love you.

What participants said about the workshops:

"When the dance started, I didn't know where it would take me. It was like a journey, and I am grateful to have had Irina as my guide and facilitator, because I felt safe and inspired by her gentle yet firm suggestions. I met myself and my feelings, letting the wisdom of my body help me navigate through them and discover parts of myself that I knew very little about. From time to time, I met other “travelers” and explorers in the dance, and pleasant and surprising “conversations” ensued, but without contaminating me, as had happened before, by what was coming from outside.

It was playful and beneficial energy, and it opened up the possibility for me to connect all those parts of myself, because in dance you participate with your whole being.

I highly recommend Irina's workshops."
