What is Movement Medicine
Movement Medicine® is a refined integration of ancient ecstatic movement practices, psychotherapeutic wisdom, contemporary shamanism, and neuroscience. It teaches you how to stand up, grow up, play your role, and alchemize life’s challenges into the gold of your soul.
Movement Medicine is a modern practice that directs our awareness toward movement, thoughts, and feelings, supporting us in discovering who we truly are. It is an active, embodied meditation that opens the path to deep inner reflection.
Through movement, we strengthen our personal space, touch the essence of our belonging, our connection to the community, and our relationship with the creative force within and around us.

Teachers:
Anna Sierpowska – AP leader
I am fascinated by freedom and the unique journey each of us takes to establish an embodied connection with the resilient, vital part of ourselves. I work through the body with awareness, facilitating individual and group processes.
I am a Certified Movement Medicine Teacher, a practice of conscious movement and experiencing life. I completed the School of Movement Medicine™ co-created by Ya’Acov and Susannah Darling Khan. This path supports a continuous lineage of vitality and health, connecting us to life. I also work in a supportive and therapeutic capacity as a facilitator and somatic therapist in the Lowenian body psychotherapy approach. I am currently in certification at the Bioenergetic Analysis Institute in Warsaw, accredited by the Florida Society for Bioenergetics Analysis.
I am a practitioner and bodyworker of Polynesian healing arts (MA-URI) and fascial techniques (Anatomy Trains). Additionally, I practice mindfulness meditation, the Polyvagal Theory, and Laban/Bartenieff Movement Studies. I am also a slow jogging coach.
I work as a teacher and mentor, maintaining an active practice since 2018, supported by regular supervision. I have completed certification programs qualifying me to teach emotional work, including Systemic Essential Energy Retrieval (SEER) and the Phoenix Process for working with patterns, beliefs, and recovering lost soul fragments. I am currently pursuing certification in life cycles work, specifically the Initiation – 9 Cycles of Life program. I have also completed a certified training and apprenticeship process as an Apprenticeship Leader at the School of Movement Medicine.
I am a co-creator of BodySpace, a platform for cyclical workshops that integrate body awareness with the heart, nature, and the deep wisdom arising from collaboration and strengthened self-connection.
I have contributed to initiatives and activities that promote body awareness and emotional intelligence in groups and communities. These include:
• Movement Tribe, a collective of teachers and trainers promoting the culture of the “living body.”
• In the past, I co-created the music and dance collective Freedance and the radio show BodyTalks on Radiospacja.
In my practice, I aim to uncover and strengthen the resilience of life, embracing the daily leap into the unknown with intention and awareness.
Kaya T. Sertic – AP Leader
I am a human being deeply curious about all of us fellow humans and passionate about living a fulfilled life, aligned with who we are and our purpose. For me, that means to use the time we have to do the best we can with what we’ve got, including each other. I am a passionate advocate for empowerment of Life on Earth in all its exquisite forms, compassion and interconnection, growth through our hearts as a community while lifting each other up.
I have been working as a body-oriented psychotherapist, Movement Medicine dance Teacher and Facilitator, and Ceremony Leader, Mentor and Lecturer, holding workshops, ceremonies, trainings, intensive programs and retreats in Croatia and around the world for many years.
Through a variety of different therapeutic, shamanic and dance practices, initiations, explorations and personal experience, the essence of my work is to bring possibilities of empowerment, healing and resourcing, as well as a sense of purpose, dignity and love to the challenges of today’s world.
I had the honour to train and learn from many incredible teachers over the world, including learning from indigenous teachers of the Americas. My own practice and personal path have always been a pillar for all of my work.
I hope to serve the empowerment of people with love, passion, dedication, healthy challenge, strong sense of direction and definitely – humour.
