centre staff say...
"The Synergy experience has been extremely beneficial and therapeutic, as a member of staff I recommend it for all community groups."
"It has been an enriching experience and members are looking forward to them returning to run more groups."
"This has been a great, different and fresh experience for the members"
participants say...
"Rosaria and Polina know these traditions and feel them deeply – the openness of the sharing gives a wonderful space. Now I fell both peaceful and trembly."
"I really appreciated the care and sincerity of Polina and Rosaria and how you made me feel included and not at all judged. You created a great atmosphere of openness and fun."
"Very new, interesting experience with the niggunim for me. I have never done it before. Very powerful!"
"I knew about the dancing part from before. Was bit scared and curious about the singing part.[…] Dancing was great, choreography. The niggunim brought me to another space!"
"It was a good balance [between dance and song] but I would have liked to do a day or more to really develop movement and voice work. I really enjoyed the workshop very very much."
"I felt energised and uplifted, also very emotional with the singing."
"I think I had blocked out the fact that we would sing. I was imagining Polina would sing as we danced! If it had been 4-6 months ago there’s no way I would have sung. But I felt very supported by Polina, the group, and forced myself."
