St John's Church, Bridgetown (In person only)
Dr Aleksandra Matakovic Manca on -
The Space In Between and the Consciousness of the Heart
An Experiential Workshop on Connection, Presence & Transformation
Tickets: £5
Booking: via EVENTBRIGHT
HERE
There is a space between us - alive, intelligent, and full of possibility,
that none of us can reach alone. It is where healing happens, where the unseen
becomes felt, and where transformation cannot be forced but simply allowed,
when we meet each other through our hearts. This evening invites you into that
space. The consciousness of the heart is explored here as a living principle -
available to anyone, regardless of belief. During the evening, the speaker will
share her own experience of this transformative field, and offer a guided
embodied practice in pairs or small group - a chance to experience directly
what becomes possible when we meet through the heart. This evening is for
anyone curious and open to experiencing the deeper intelligence at work in
human connection. No experience necessary - only a willingness to meet the
present moment as it actually is.
For over two decades, Aleksandra Matakovic Manca
has worked as an integrative psychiatrist and heart-based
psychotherapist and coach, supporting transformation through presence and
connection. She is the founder of Inner Being Medicine, a holistic approach
rooted in the belief that healing is a remembering of who we already are.
Her interest in the space in between grew from her own healing journey,
and from a life spent bridging cultures, languages, clinical disciplines
and spiritual traditions - and, above all, from learning what becomes
possible when we meet another human being "without memory and without
desire" (Bion, 1967) - not to mend, but to witness the unfolding of the
innate capacity to heal within each of us. This fascination deepened
through her training in Buddhist contemplative practices - Theravada,
Vipassana, Insight Dialogue, Interpersonal Mindfulness - alongside
Circling and Surrendered Leadership, and left her asking how much of
what lives in the mind can stand in the way of meeting another through
the heart. She believes we are all each other's medicine. Her current
interest lies in how we support each other to remember our wholeness,
and our innate capacity to heal, when we are truly seen.
