THE SESSION
Clothing: there is absolutely no need to wear gym clothes, but tight skirts or neckties might be rather uncomfortable! You are encourage to wear simple and comfortable clothing.
Flexibility/strength: it is really is not needed. You will do a bit of movement, but nothing great. If anyone has any particular physical concerns you can write to Nathalia and request more information.
Trauma/mental distress: Nathalia's approach is trauma sensitive, and the practice will be mindful that participants may have experienced/experience the impact of trauma or anxiety.
Seating: we encourage you to have some sort of hard surface available to sit on. This could be a hard chair or the floor. Cushions are good if you have some.
The Humani-Atelier was an online session and took place on Thursday 24 February at 6pm (CET - Geneva time). Please note that the first hour presentation was recorded but not the practical part to preserve the privacy and intimacy of each participant.
