The Autumn Cycle of SomaHut Gatherings

September 13 – December 13, 2025
Zagreb: Šestine Local Committee, Ribnjak Youth Center, Zagreb Dance Center

The autumn cycle of SomaHut gatherings begins on September 13 with a series of three study sessions led by Mia Štark, a dance and visual artist and trainee in the licensed School for Body-Mind Centering® program. The study sessions will take place on Saturdays, September 13, 20, and 27, from 11 AM to 1 PM at the Šestine Local Committee, Šestinski trg 10. The core of these study sessions is formed around questions and inspiration emerging from the educational program, connected with developing awareness of deep, often forgotten layers of the body and movement.

Participation is open to everyone, with a recommended donation according to individual possibilities. Due to organizational reasons, interested participants are kindly asked to register at: somahut.mmk@gmail.com.

In October, a workshop with guest artist Gabriel Hensche will follow, along with his lecture presenting the project how to love many in many ways.

The workshop will take place in collaboration with the Zagreb Dance Center.

Also beginning in November and continuing in December is a workshop cycle led by Ana Jelušić, dance artist and Feldenkrais practitioner. This series of workshops is based on the Feldenkrais Method® and will take place on Saturdays, November 15 and 29, and December 6, from 11 AM to 2 PM, at the Šestine Local Committee, Šestinski trg 10.

The autumn cycle concludes with the Annual SomaHut Meeting on December 13, 2025, also held at the Šestine Local Committee.
