Poland 20th January '11

Well, Poland has welcomed me yesterday 20 January '11. I've been running like a crazy to catch my easy bus from Baker Street to Stansted.
Luckily I'm living near by Kings Cross St so impossible becomes very often miracleose like it did yesterday. It's such a wonderful feeling to arrive in my country's local airport and seeing those beautiful faces of my patents welcoming me at the arrivals. It's always very sentimental which equivocates such a strong feeling of belonging to their roots. More I stay away from my country more I become connected to my origins. Saying that I'm not admitting the nostalgic feelings I only sense strong excitement deeply in the button of my tommy. It inspires me to do what I'm passionate about. The creative site of myself is awaken and the limbic site of the brain is fully activated. I can think again and prioritise, stay focused and be in connection with myself.
This year resolutions follow: create my solo dance theatre (on the closet) and develop it into duet with one of the world widely known Richard Alston dance company's dancer; keep working on the LCP quartet: 'Voices 4 Change' against human trafficking in the whole world influenced by Cambodian children sexual slavery; extend duet Imaginary...' with allotropiamovement; take part as an artistic director and dance performer of nyctolopic's choreography in association with allotropiamovement. It makes in total 3 new projects and development of existing 2. It's a hell of work. On top of that complete postgraduate physical theatre in June 2011 with final year performance, finish the yoga therapy certificate for depression and anxiety; set up a yoga for the mind 8 weeks course from April-May 2011, do Pilates teaching certificate June-Aug 2011; intensify Pilates and contemporary dance classes teaching; train with heartcore Pilates for celebrity and athletes and become a full time instructor on annual contract (March). Apply for various dance theatre festivals such a: in Bytom (Poland) June -July; fringe international festival of Edinburgh (Scotland) Aug, Hanover (Germany) and of course Brockley Max festival in London (UK).
And the last thing to organise two yoga retreats in Puglia (South Italy): 4-10 June 2011 eat yoga dance retreat in collaboration with my Italian ex clients and current business partners; 27sept-1oct 2011 singing yoga dance retreat in collaboration with my best yoga therapist friend. And finally in November'11-February'12 I'm planning to across second time Atlantic on my wonderful sailing yacht Ydra2. The route follows: Italy, South Europe, Canaries, Cape Verde islands, Caribbean, South America. Alternatively join the boat by plane in Caribbean in December and sail across Panama's Canal along south America until March'11. I feel like extending it up to one year starting in November '11 and crossing three oceans: Atlantic, Pacific and Indian.

Currently I'm in Poland on the way to ustronie polana to stay for couple of days with my brother and his family who invited me for skiing. As soon as I landed in pyrzowice last night I'd got an invitation to join them. So I did. I've spent 2 days of skiing in Vistula. I haven't been skiing since 4 years after my last time on snowboard in France.

After one day of staying with my parents I went to visit my friends in Warsaw. Quick visit, and catch up with all outstanding stuff. Kids were ill, but at least we've got chance to stay all together as a family. Next day I came back to my family house. My nethews, friends kids, few friends and relatives are always the main aim of my visit in Poland. We went with my mum to the theatre watch polish comedy play of Maria Seweryn (polish well-known director and actress). It was a hell of the comedy. Sitting in the first row allowed us to have great interexchange with actors and the audience, tiny, Cousy and independent Korez theatre in Katowice was very welcoming. We went twice to the cinema to watch 'black swan' and 'kings speech'. Both were really good even thought they've been projected in multi cinema (Silesia city). The time passed by, I hardly managed to catch up with my family and friends. I always feel like it's not enough to come for one or two weeks. I need to dedicate more time to be able to merge again into my roots and be able to express what I really feel. I love my parents deeply and I can not transmit it to them. They miss me and so do I but somehow I struggle to show them how much I love them. Each time it becomes harder and harder to leave and say goodbye. In fact we never say it because we never leave each other....
