The Center for Inner Growth and Joy and Homeplace – Holistic Center are delighted to welcome Pushan back from Spain for a new three-day experiential workshop, The Joy of Being Alive—an exploration of vitality, breath, meditation, play, and embodied presence.
Following last year’s The Power of Breath workshop, Pushan returns to Belgrade with a new theme that invites us to explore something that has always been part of us: the body’s natural aliveness, spontaneity, presence, and the simple joy of being alive.
We come into this world with a natural impulse to move, explore, play, feel, express ourselves, and connect. The body knows how to be alive.
And then, as we grow and move through life, we learn something else.
We learn to adapt. To control our impulses. To hold our breath. To suppress what we feel. To protect ourselves when necessary. To be accepted, functional, and responsible.
Many of these patterns were once necessary. Over time, however, they can become so deeply embedded in the body that we no longer notice how far we have moved away from our own spontaneity, energy, and aliveness.
The Joy of Being Alive is a three-day experiential exploration and an invitation to reconnect with this natural life force.
Over the course of three days, we will explore vitality, aliveness, joy, and play as innate qualities of the human body.
Through movement, breathwork, meditation, play, and various body-based practices, we will explore the ways in which the body opens to life—as well as the places where we have learned to contract, control, protect ourselves, or disconnect from our own experience.
These three days are an invitation to rediscover the intelligence of the body, awaken our presence, and return to a simple experience: the joy of being alive.
Who Is This Workshop For?
This workshop is intended for anyone who wishes to explore their vitality and deepen their connection with themselves through the body, breath, movement, and meditation.
It may be especially meaningful for you if:
- you often feel the need to remain in control and find it difficult to surrender to spontaneity;
- you notice chronic tension, tightness, or breath-holding in your body;
- you feel that you are constantly doing and achieving, yet still lack a genuine sense of aliveness and fulfilment;
- you would like to re-establish a deeper connection with your body and its signals;
- you want to create more space for spontaneity, play, creativity, and self-expression;
- you want to explore the patterns through which you unconsciously contract, protect yourself, or withdraw from contact;
- you would like to deepen your meditation practice through the body and movement;
- or you simply feel drawn to dedicating three days to yourself, your body, and the exploration of your own life energy.
No previous experience with breathwork, meditation, or body-based practices is required.
What Can You Expect During These Three Days?
This is an experiential workshop, and most of the process will unfold through direct work with the body.
Over the course of three days, we will use a range of approaches and practices that allow us to explore our relationship with our own vitality:
- Breath and breathwork — exploring the breath as a direct pathway to the body, emotions, energy, and presence;
- Movement — releasing the body from familiar patterns and exploring spontaneous, authentic movement;
- Play and spontaneity — reconnecting with curiosity, pleasure, impulse, and freedom of expression;
- Embodied practices — developing the ability to recognise what is happening within us through sensations, movement, and bodily impulses;
- Exploring bodily patterns of protection and contraction — becoming aware of the ways in which we have learned to contract, hold back, or disconnect from our own life energy;
- Meditation and presence — creating space for what we experience to be noticed, integrated, and connected more deeply with who we are, rather than remaining only an intense experience;
- Individual, partner, and group work — different ways of exploring contact with ourselves and with others.
There is no predetermined experience or result that needs to be achieved. The intention is not to remain “happy” for three days or to produce any particular emotional state.
Instead, we will explore what emerges when we give the body more space to be exactly what it is: alive, sensitive, spontaneous, and present.
Perhaps, in doing so, we may encounter something that was never truly lost—our own vitality and the joy of being alive.

Centar za razvoj i radost i Homeplace – Holistički centar sa radošću najavljuju ponovni dolazak Pushana iz Španije i novu trodnevnu iskustvenu radionicu „The Joy of Being Alive“ – istraživanje vitalnosti, daha, meditacije i igre kroz telo.
Nakon prošlogodišnjeg susreta kroz radionicu „The Power of Breath“, Pushan se vraća u Beograd sa novom temom koja nas poziva da istražimo nešto što je oduvek deo nas – prirodnu životnost tela, spontanost, prisutnost i radost bivanja živim.
Dolazimo na svet sa prirodnom potrebom da se krećemo, istražujemo, igramo, osećamo, izražavamo i budemo u kontaktu. Telo zna kako da bude živo.
A onda, kroz odrastanje i život, učimo i nešto drugo.
Učimo da se prilagođavamo. Da kontrolišemo svoje impulse. Da zadržimo dah. Da potisnemo ono što osećamo. Da se zaštitimo kada je potrebno. Da budemo prihvaćeni, funkcionalni, odgovorni.
Mnogi od tih obrazaca nekada su nam bili potrebni. Ali vremenom mogu postati toliko duboko upisani u telo da više ni ne primećujemo koliko smo se udaljili od sopstvene spontanosti, energije i životnosti.
„The Joy of Being Alive“ je trodnevno iskustveno istraživanje povratka toj prirodnoj životnoj snazi.
Tokom tri dana istraživaćemo vitalnost, živost, radost i igru kao urođene kvalitete ljudskog tela.
Kroz pokret, dah, meditaciju, igru i različite prakse rada sa telom, istraživaćemo načine na koje se naše telo otvara životu, ali i mesta na kojima smo naučili da se skupljamo, kontrolišemo, štitimo ili prekidamo kontakt sa sobom.
Ova tri dana su poziv da ponovo otkrijemo inteligenciju tela, probudimo prisutnost i vratimo se jednostavnom iskustvu – radosti toga da smo živi.
Kome je radionica namenjena?
Radionica je namenjena svima koji žele da kroz telo, dah, pokret i meditaciju istraže sopstvenu vitalnost i prodube kontakt sa sobom. Posebno može biti značajna za vas ukoliko:
- osećate da ste često u kontroli i teško vam je da se prepustite spontanosti;
- primećujete hroničnu napetost, stezanje ili zadržavanje daha u telu;
- imate osećaj da mnogo toga radite i postižete, ali vam nedostaje osećaj životnosti i zadovoljstva;
- želite da ponovo uspostavite dublji kontakt sa svojim telom i njegovim signalima;
- želite više prostora za spontanost, igru, kreativnost i izražavanje;
- želite da istražite obrasce kroz koje se nesvesno skupljate, štitite ili povlačite iz kontakta;
- želite da produbite svoju praksu meditacije kroz telo i pokret;
- ili vas jednostavno privlači ideja da tri dana posvetite sebi, svom telu i istraživanju sopstvene životne energije.
Nije potrebno prethodno iskustvo u breathwork-u, meditaciji ili praksama rada sa telom.
Šta vas očekuje tokom ova tri dana?
Radionica je iskustvena i najveći deo procesa odvijaće se kroz direktan rad sa telom. Tokom tri dana koristićemo različite pristupe i prakse koje nam omogućavaju da istražimo odnos prema sopstvenoj vitalnosti:
- Dah i breathwork – istraživanje daha kao direktnog puta ka telu, emocijama, energiji i prisutnosti;
- Pokret – oslobađanje tela iz poznatih obrazaca i istraživanje spontanog, autentičnog pokreta;
- Igra i spontanost – ponovno povezivanje sa radoznalošću, zadovoljstvom, impulsom i slobodom izražavanja;
- Embodied prakse – razvijanje sposobnosti da prepoznamo šta se u nama događa kroz senzacije, pokret i telesne impulse;
- Istraživanje telesnih obrazaca zaštite i kontrakcije – upoznavanje načina na koje smo naučili da se skupljamo, zadržavamo ili prekidamo kontakt sa sopstvenom životnom energijom;
- Meditacija i prisutnost – prostor da ono što smo pokrenuli i doživeli ne ostane samo intenzivno iskustvo, već bude primećeno, integrisano i dublje povezano sa nama;
- Rad individualno, u paru i u grupi – različiti načini istraživanja kontakta sa sobom i drugima.
Ne postoji unapred određeno iskustvo koje treba da postignemo. Ideja nije da tri dana budemo „veseli“, niti da proizvedemo određeno stanje.
Istražujemo šta se pojavljuje kada telu damo više prostora da bude upravo ono što jeste – živo, senzitivno, spontano i prisutno.
I možda upravo tu ponovo sretnemo nešto što nikada zapravo nije ni nestalo: sopstvenu vitalnost i radost bivanja živim.
