Queer Bodywork Session with Magdalena Chowaniec
6-7:30 PM
Magdalena Chowaniec invites all queer bodies to join a soft session of body work against stress, anxiety and overwhelm. Working with touch and body weight, we will help the nervous system to return to equilibrium, release tension from the muscles and joints and enjoy the state of deep relaxation and regeneration. In this session, we are going to work in pairs—as an active/passive body (giver and receiver). We will use our hands and our body weight, so you should be comfortable with that. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a thin blanket. Open to max. 20 participants. Session is free of charge, in cooperation with Raw Matters.
Where: Raw Matters Studio, Hainburgestrasse 68-70/45/6, Rabenhof, 1030 Vienna
