On 6 October 2018 I co-hosted an amazing body positivity workshop in Lausanne. The main organizer was Joanna Lampka, popular Polish-speaking blogger behind Szwajcarskie Blabliblu.
We welcomed a big group of Polish expat women from all around Switzerland for an evening of body appreciation, make-up and photography.
In my workshop we spoke about body image, our insecurities and what makes us feel beautiful. We saw each other through the eyes of other women, without judgement or competition. And we even danced a little!
My colleague Katarzyna Niemiec of Swantastic taught us the latest in make-up techniques and an amazing photographer Magdalena Simm of Moonlight Photography introduced us to the secrets of posing for great pics, selfies included 🙂 We had a fun photoshoot at the end and the evening lasted longer than planned.
Here’s what the women are saying about my workshop:
“The workshop helped me realize that we are so accepting towards others and so critical towards ourselves” I’ve gained a healthy distance to myself and saw that we all deal with similar problems. Anka skillfully created the atmosphere of openness and mutual acceptance. I can honestly recommend Anka as the leader of group workshops. Her authenticity and professionalism make for a great combination”.
