The Cost of Unprocessed Emotions
Coming soon
The Mindful Spacewith Dominika Kalinowska
A practical, embodied workshop for emotional release and nervous system reset. We have all been taught to push through. Stay busy and keep it together. But emotions don't disappear when we ignore them; they settle into the body as tension, anxiety, numbness, or that low-level hum of 1overwhelm that follows you everywhere.
In this workshop, TEDx speaker and psychologist Dominika Kalinowska brings her most-asked-about topic to life in an experience you can actually feel in your body, and not just your head. Drawing on psychology, EFT tapping therapy, hypnotherapy, and somatic therapy, we will explore why unprocessed emotions affect everything from your stress levels to your relationships, and what you can do about it, starting right here at the festival.
Together, we will explore simple body-based techniques to reduce emotional tension, grounding and nervous system regulation practices, breath and movement tools rooted in somatic therapy. You'll leave calmer, more present, and with a toolkit you can actually use, long after the festival ends.
Dominika Kalinowska is a TEDx speaker, psychologist, hypnotherapist, EFT Practitioner, and founder of Relief Therapies, on a mission to help people stop running from their feelings and start working with them instead. Having experienced psychosomatic symptoms herself, Dominika understands from the inside what it means when the body starts carrying what the mind tries to push away. That lived experience shaped the heart of her work: the body keeps a record, and nervous system dysregulation, emotional disconnection, chronic tension. She delivers talks and workshops that blend psychology, neuroscience, and somatic practices into something you can actually feel and not just understand. Her TEDx talk explores what happens when we ignore our emotions, and why the body always keeps the score.
