29/08 – REAL DINNER (sold out)

Real People is where good food and real conversations bring people together.

Real Dinner offers the same experience in the relaxed atmosphere of a shared evening meal.

We meet around one table, order dinner or a drink, and allow the evening to unfold naturally.

Yasser will introduce a series of thoughtful and playful questions that help us move beyond the usual small talk and become genuinely curious about the people sitting beside us.

Some questions may make us laugh. Others may open stories and conversations we did not expect to share.

There is no pressure to be interesting and no need to perform.

Come alone, even when you do not know anyone. That is how most people arrive.

Every time, the restaurant is a little surprise. Registered participants will receive the location the day before.

Up to 15 participants. Participants pay for their own food and drinks.

Facilitated by Yasser from ATMA team.

05/09 – INTUITIVE ABSTRACT PAINTING: LET GO, EXPERIMENT & CREATE

What happens when you stop trying to make something good and simply allow yourself to create?

This three-hour workshop with abstract artist Amisa Mukaj is an introduction to intuitive abstract painting — working with colour, texture, movement and instinct rather than trying to reproduce a predetermined image.

We’ll begin with a short introduction to the process and explore how colour, layering, texture and movement can shape an abstract composition.

Then we paint.

Amisa will guide you through creative prompts and different techniques using acrylic paint, modelling paste, brushes and palette knives. You’ll be encouraged to experiment, respond to what is happening on the canvas and make decisions without needing to know exactly where the painting is going.

There is no single technique to copy and no expectation that everyone’s work should look alike. Amisa will demonstrate different approaches and offer individual guidance when needed, while leaving space for your own way of working to emerge.

No previous painting experience is required. The workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as people who already paint.

All materials are included.

Please wear something you don’t mind getting a little paint on.

Facilitated by Amisa Mukaj, scientist, educator and abstract artist whose work explores emotion, colour, texture and the space between intentional decisions and intuition.

08/09-27/10 – IMPROV FOR LIFE: COURSE

An 8-week beginner course in improvisation for confidence, connection and thinking on your feet.

Improv is often associated with comedy and performance, but many of the skills behind it are useful far beyond the stage: being present, responding without having everything prepared, adapting when something changes, trusting your impulses and working with other people.

This course with Tim Burgi is a practical and playful introduction to those skills.

Most of the sessions are active. You’ll work in pairs and groups, try improv exercises, create situations together and practise responding to whatever is happening in the moment.

It will often be funny, but you don’t need to try to be funny.

Throughout the course, you’ll explore how to think on your feet, express yourself with more confidence, become more comfortable with uncertainty, quiet the inner critic, develop spontaneity and notice how you collaborate with others.

Some exercises will also open a conversation about what happened: what you noticed in yourself or the group, and where similar patterns might appear outside improv.

No acting or improv experience is needed.

The course is taught in English.

Tuesdays, 18:30–20:30
8 September – 27 October 2026
8 weekly sessions / 16 hours

Early-bird price: 4,000 CZK until 31 August
Regular price: 4,500 CZK
Payment: https://improvprague.cz/life/
Benefit Plus accepted.

Not sure yet? You can join the first session as a trial for 600 CZK, drop us a line on atmaprague@gmail.com.
If you decide to continue, the amount counts toward the full course fee.

Facilitated by Tim Burgi, founder of Improv Prague, who has been performing and teaching improv for more than 10 years and also works with companies, teams and community groups.

09/09 – EROS READING CIRCLE: WHAT FUELS LOVE, WHAT FADES DESIRE?

Eros Reading Circle is a space to explore desire, intimacy, pleasure and relationships through reading, reflection and honest conversation.

This month, we will read selected chapters from Esther Perel’s Mating in Captivity and look at the tension between closeness and desire.

Can we feel deeply connected to someone over many years and still desire them? Can too much closeness sometimes make desire fade? What happens when one person experiences time apart as healthy autonomy and another experiences it as distance or abandonment?

The reading includes stories from couples Esther Perel has worked with in therapy. We will use them as starting points for looking at our own experiences and questions around love, desire, intimacy and freedom.

We’ll begin with tea and a short grounding practice, followed by a sharing circle around the reading.

Together, we’ll establish group agreements so the conversation can remain respectful and confidential. You are welcome to share as much or as little as feels right for you.

From there, we’ll move into an open conversation around intimacy, desire, space, freedom, love and what may help erotic energy stay alive in long-term relationships.

You will receive the 22-page reading by email a few days before the circle.

If you would like to start earlier, you can contact Adri at healing@adriennhodi.com after registering.

People of all genders and ages are welcome, whether single or in a relationship.

Facilitated by Adri, somatic practitioner and bodyworker.

10/09 – BACK TO HOGWARTS WITHIN: CACAO & BREATHWORK

September can carry the feeling of a new beginning — a new chapter, new encounters, something to learn, and that mixture of excitement and uncertainty that comes with not knowing exactly what is ahead.

Back to Hogwarts Within is a cacao and breathwork gathering built around that moment of transition.

We’ll use the evening to slow down and ask:

Where am I now?
What matters to me?
What do I need?
And where do I want to go next?

For Katya, the image of the Hogwarts Express holds two things at once: coming home to a place where you belong, and setting off toward something new and unknown.

Through cacao, breathwork, guided meditation and imagination, we’ll explore both.

The practice will include moving through different states of activation while staying connected to the body, exploring what appears when fear or shame gets in the way, and reconnecting with the boundaries, courage and inner resources that can help us move forward.

There will also be time for reflection and integration at the end.

You don’t need to know exactly where you’re going. The evening is simply an opportunity to stop for a moment, notice where you are, and enter autumn with a little more awareness of what you want to carry with you.

Please wear comfortable clothes and ideally eat around two hours before the event, so you are neither very hungry nor very full.

You may also bring a sleeping mask or light scarf for the breathwork, a water bottle and a notebook.

The practice includes intensive breathwork and cacao and is not suitable during pregnancy or for people with epilepsy, glaucoma, serious heart or cardiovascular conditions, unmanaged severe hypertension or acute psychiatric disorders.

If you have other health concerns, food allergies or sensitivities, please contact the facilitator before attending.

Facilitated by Katya Zheltova, certified breathwork facilitator and therapist with over five years of experience.

17/09 – SOMATICS INTO CONTACT: CONTACT WITH THE BODY

Somatics into Contact is a movement workshop for people who want to explore connection with themselves and others through the body, movement and dance.

In this first session, we’ll begin with the most immediate relationship we have: the one with our own body.

Our bodies take in enormous amounts of information every day. They respond to stress, tension, excitement, hesitation and desire — often before we have found words for any of it.

Through meditation, movement and playful solo, partner and group exercises, we will slow down enough to notice some of those signals.

The intention of the session is to create a “brave space”: somewhere we can practise listening for an inner yes and no, experiment with letting those signals influence our choices, and take a step forward or backward according to what actually feels possible in the moment.

We will explore:

Tuning in — noticing and understanding signals from the body
Decision-making — experimenting, negotiating and protecting boundaries
Presence — using grounding and anchoring practices
Play — exploring how shared movement and enjoyment can support a sense of safety

The workshop can also be a gentle entry point for people curious about contact improvisation or partner dance who do not yet feel comfortable entering a jam or dancing with strangers.

No previous dance or contact improvisation experience is required.

Wear clothes that feel comfortable and allow you to move. Multiple layers may be useful for differently paced activities. Bring water, and you are welcome to bring a notebook.

This is not group therapy. Connecting with the body can sometimes bring up sensitive material, so please participate with self-responsibility and never push yourself into an exercise that does not feel safe for you.

If you have a physical injury, please let Anna know at the beginning of the workshop: atmaprague@gmail.com

Facilitated by Anna Pecinová, movement artist working across dance, physical theatre and improvisation.

19/09 – REAL PEOPLE: HOME COOKING

Real People is where good food and real conversations bring people together.

This time, we meet in the kitchen.

Instead of arriving to a dinner that has already been prepared, we’ll cook it together — chopping, stirring, tasting, helping one another and talking while the food slowly comes together.

There is something different about getting to know people while your hands are busy.

Conversation doesn’t need to start with introductions around a circle. It can begin while cutting vegetables, asking where something belongs, tasting a sauce or sharing a story about how food was cooked in your own home.

Once everything is ready, we’ll sit down around one table and eat what we made together.

You don’t need to know how to cook. This is not a cooking class and there is nothing you need to perform or get right.

You can come alone. Most people do.

Dinner and ingredients are included.

19 September 2026
From 17:00, free, we pay ingridients at the end together.

20/09 – CAPTURING SUMMER MEMORIES: PAINTING ON GLASS

Is there one small moment from this summer you would like to keep?

A flower from a garden, a detail from a holiday, an afternoon by the lake, a place you keep thinking about.

In this three-hour workshop, visual artist Laila Seidel will guide you through the technique of reverse glass painting and help you turn one simple summer memory into a small luminous artwork.

Please bring one photograph with a clearly defined subject.

Rather than choosing a whole landscape or a very detailed scene, look for one particular motif or detail that can become the focus of your painting.

You’ll work on a small glass panel and learn step by step how reverse glass painting works.

Unlike ordinary painting, the image is created on the back of the glass. Details and layers are painted in a different order, and only at the end do you turn the glass around and see the finished image from the front.

The process invites a different way of looking at a familiar image — slowing down, working layer by layer and experimenting with colour.

No previous painting experience is required.

The workshop is limited to five participants, so there will be plenty of space for individual guidance and questions.

You’ll leave with your own finished reverse glass painting and a small piece of summer to take home with you.

Please bring:
one photograph with a simple, clearly defined subject
a hair dryer, if possible, to help dry the layers of paint

All other materials are provided.

27 September 2026
750 CZK + 100 CZK materials fee
The additional materials fee is paid directly to the facilitator on the day.

Registration closes 23 September at midnight.

Facilitated by Laila Seidel, professional visual artist and educator with many years of experience teaching creative workshops.

20/09 – AUTUMN EQUINOX CACAO & BREATHWORK: THE HEROINE’S JOURNEY

The autumn equinox is a natural point of transition: the days begin to shorten, one season turns into another, and there is an invitation to notice what is changing in our own lives too.

The Heroine’s Journey is a women’s cacao and breathwork ceremony for pausing at that threshold.

What am I ready to leave behind?
What is asking to be renewed?
What do I want to carry into the next chapter?

We’ll begin with cacao and take some time to arrive in the body.

From there, Katya will guide an intensive breathwork practice with music and imagery, using the metaphor of entering a symbolic inner forest.

The practice invites you to notice what is present now, meet different parts and versions of yourself through imagination, and reflect on what feels complete and what you want to move toward.

We’ll explore breath and sensation, nature’s cycles, imagination, personal agency, release and renewal.

The evening will close with time for integration and an optional sharing circle.

Please wear comfortable clothes and ideally eat around two hours before the event, so you are neither very hungry nor very full.

You may also bring a sleeping mask or light scarf, a water bottle and a notebook.

The practice includes intensive breathwork and cacao.

It is not suitable during pregnancy or for people with epilepsy, glaucoma, serious heart conditions, severe cardiovascular disease, unmanaged severe hypertension or acute psychiatric disorders.

If you have another health concern, food allergy or sensitivity, please contact the facilitator in advance.

24/09 – SOMATICS INTO CONTACT: CONTACT WITH THE EARTH

“The Earth is bigger than you, so you may as well coordinate with it.” — Steve Paxton

In the second Somatics into Contact session, we turn our attention toward one of the most constant forms of support we have: the ground beneath us.

In dance, the floor is sometimes called our first partner.

Through movement, floor work and somatic exercises, we’ll explore what happens when we stop fighting gravity and begin to work with it instead.

The session will move through the themes of yielding and resistance — noticing where we allow ourselves to be supported, where we hold ourselves up, and how those two tendencies can exist together.

The floor will become our main point of reference for the evening: a place to experiment with weight, pressure, expansion, grounding and the simple physical reality of being held by something larger than us.

As in the first session, the work combines meditation, movement and playful exercises.

We will explore:

Tuning in — listening to signals from the body
Decision-making — choosing, negotiating and protecting boundaries
Presence — grounding and anchoring through physical reality
Play — exploring movement with curiosity and others

You do not need previous experience with dance or contact improvisation.

Wear comfortable clothes you can move in, ideally in layers, and bring a water bottle.

This is not group therapy. Connecting with the body can sometimes bring up sensitive material, so please participate with self-responsibility and avoid pushing yourself into anything that does not feel physically or emotionally safe.

If you have a physical injury, please let Anna know at the beginning of the workshop.

25/09 - REAL DATING

What if dating wasn’t about impressing?
What if it wasn’t about swiping, judging, or performing?

What Awaits You:
Awakening Presence – Cacao ceremony, breathwork, and gentle relaxation to open the senses.
Silent Connection – Embodiment exercises to feel connection before words.

26/09 – FINDING YOUR CALM 1: UNDERSTANDING YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM

Why can a small inconvenience feel easy to handle one day and completely overwhelming the next?

Our nervous system is constantly responding to what happens around us and within us. It shapes how we experience stress, change, relationships and everyday challenges — often before we have had time to think about what is happening.

Finding Your Calm is a practical 90-minute workshop for understanding some of those responses a little better.

We’ll begin with an accessible introduction to what the nervous system does and how common stress responses can show up in everyday life.

Then we’ll try a selection of simple, evidence-informed practices together.

There will be time to notice how each practice feels in your own body, reflect on your experience and ask questions.

The aim is not to become calm all the time.

It is to understand your nervous system a little better and leave with practical tools you can experiment with in daily life.

No previous knowledge or experience is required.

People of all genders and ages are welcome.

Please wear comfortable clothes. You are also welcome to bring a notebook and pen.

Registration closes 22 September at midnight.

Finding Your Calm 1 and 2 can be attended independently. Each workshop offers a complete experience with slightly different themes and practices.

Facilitated by Laila Seidel, artist and experienced workshop facilitator.

27/09 – REAL PEOPLE GATHERING: AFTER-SUMMER REUNION

Real People is where good food and real talks bring people together.

After a whole summer apart, this gathering will also be a little reunion.

Katya and Zdeny are coming back to Prague from Sicily for a visit, and we want to use the evening for something very simple: getting everyone around the ATMA table again.

Expect homemade food to share, Real Talks, good music and — after several months in Italy — probably quite a lot of Italian energy coming back with them.

We’ll begin around the table with food and facilitated conversation. As always with Real People, the questions are there to help us move beyond the usual social small talk without putting anyone on the spot.

Then the structure loosens.

Stay at the table, move around, meet someone you haven’t seen all summer, meet someone completely new, listen to music, sing, play something, dance if the evening takes us there.

You don’t need to know anyone before coming.

Some people will be returning to ATMA after the summer. Others may be walking through the door for the first time. Both belong at the same table.

Limited to 20 people.

28/09 – REMEMBER YOURSELF: 30-DAY GUIDED SELF-EXPLORATION

A 30-day facilitated programme for people who are functioning in life but feel disconnected from what they actually want.

You may have work, responsibilities and even external success, but little passion, no clear direction, or the feeling that your life works without really feeling like yours.

Remember Yourself is designed to help you reconnect with your core, natural inner settings, passions and deeper desires — and gather enough real evidence to begin changing the course of your life.

We begin with a 3-hour offline laboratory at ATMA on 28 September.

Then we continue through 4 online sessions of up to 2 hours each over the following 30 days.

That gives you up to 11 hours of facilitated live work, plus your own self-exploration between sessions.

The online dates will be arranged with the small group and, where needed, around individual availability.

During the 30 days, we will work with:
guided personal inquiry
body tests and embodied observation
short journal reflections
real-life behavioural experiments
activity tests
small-group reflection
personal decoding

Each layer is opened gradually and tested rather than simply interpreted.

You will explore what repeatedly brings you alive, what may be genuinely yours, what may have developed through adaptation or usefulness, and which activities or environments deserve a real place in your life.

By the end of the programme, you will have:
a preliminary reflection after the opening session
a repeated-pattern reflection
your Gold / Adaptation / Distortion map
personalised activity experiments
a final personal decoding
a written Personal GPS
your strongest evidence and counterevidence
practical directions and activity fields worth continuing
a realistic 10–20-minute personal practice you can return to in ordinary life

The final map is a grounded working hypothesis built from your memories, present behaviour, body observations and practical experiments.

28 September 2026
14:00–17:00 — opening offline session
up to 5 participants
+ 4 online sessions, up to 2 hours each
Language: English

Early bird: 9,000 CZK until 15 September
Regular price: 10,000 CZK

Advance registration required.

Facilitated by Katya Kokkalou, founder of ATMA Community Space and facilitator of embodied self-exploration, with a background in community education and group facilitation.

30/09 – REAL WOMEN: UNSHAME YOURSELF

Real Women is a circle where women come together to explore themselves through the body, reflection and honest conversation.

This month, we will explore shame — how it can live in the body, shape the way we see ourselves and influence how fully we allow ourselves to be seen.

How does shame show up in your life?

What beliefs or stories keep it alive?

Where do you make yourself smaller, quieter or more acceptable because some part of you feels that who you are is somehow too much, not enough or wrong?

We’ll begin with a short cacao ceremony to arrive and connect with our senses.

From there, Adri will guide a somatic journey using breath, movement, sound and visualisation. You’ll be invited to notice sensations, emotions and patterns connected to shame and to approach them with curiosity rather than judgement.

The practice may also bring attention to experiences that influenced your relationship with shame and to the ways those experiences continue to live in the body.

After the somatic practice, we’ll move into journaling and conversation.

Together, we’ll explore how shame affects the way we relate to ourselves, our bodies and other people — and what it might mean to make more room for the imperfect, real version of ourselves.

You are always free to share as much or as little as you want.

Please bring a journal and a pen.

The circle includes cacao. Let us know in advance about any food allergies or sensitivities so the cacao preparation can be adapted.
