Love Lost, Bucharest 2022

21.05 // Love, Loss and Attachment analyzed from a Transgenerational perspective with Psychotherapist Yolanda Cretescu.

Each of us carries a unique and subjective emotional imprint. The way we relate to suffering and loss today is nothing more than the expression of this unique imprint, formed in close connection with the relationship we have with our parents, the role assigned in the family and the collective subconscious of everything our ancestors experienced.

In this workshop, participants discovered together what this imprint is, what it says about them and their lives, but also how they can better cope with suffering and loss.

29.05 // Return to Yourself with Hitesh

Love and Loss are experienced at a personal level as often as through the others.

What is ‘attachment’ and how do we navigate through loss when intense attachment has been involved? In this workshop, with the help of some yogic breathing techniques and meditation participants learned simpler, healthier, and easier ways to return to themselves in times of loss, anxiety, stress, and grief.

Some Yogic tips were shared, insights that can be easily incorporated in daily routines showing us how to stay connected to ourselves in the times of sensory distractions and that of crises.

03.06 // How do we tell our story? 

In the Storytelling workshop, Iulian Tanase helped the participants discover how to find the writing subjects or how those subjects can find them, because most of the times, no matter how much we hide, ‘the writing subjects still find us.’ 

Iulian Tănase was the editor of the satirical magazines Academia Cațavencu (1997-2010) and Kamikaze (2010-2011), and producer at Radio Guerrilla, between 2004 and 2019.

He is currently a writing and storytelling trainer and producer of the RSS Reloaded podcast.

10.06 // Beyond the Sunset

Cosima Opartan / von Bülove and Paula Dunker proposed a performative workshop that relied on the beneficial power of sound accompanied by physical commitment.

The two artists and active entities in the local clubbing scene believe that letting ourselves be affected by certain frequencies in listening to music on loud sound systems while moving along together in the same time and space is conducive to the feeling of community as well as the idea of perpetuity.

Setting intentions, centering exercises & contemporary dance practices accompanied by an auditory set with healing qualities became a collective ritual against loss, for transformation.
