She is currently doing a PhD in Social and Spiritual Determinants of Health at the Faculty of Theology, Palacký University Olomouc, where she researches embodied narrativity and high sensitivity (see the glossary). She made a ten-minute documentary about high sensitivity. Marta loves combining her work with different art forms – free writing, painting, theatre and music improvisation, singing. She draws on the theory of embodiment, “becoming aware of your own body”, has completed a coaching course and keeps learning in this field. She is also a singer, violinist and composer, not only in the band Dobrá otázka. You’ll meet Marta and her music at most of our workshops and shows.

She studied industrial design and art education. During her studies she was very interested in art therapy, artefiletics and various forms of personal growth through the creative process. One day you’ll see her with a camera, another with a canvas and another at the potter’s wheel. She is fascinated by transience, which she captures in all sorts of ways. At the USEBE weekends she creates the setting, makes journals for the participants and leads the literapy workshop, which gives you space for creativity and for seeing yourself through text and image. Want to know more about literapy? You’ll find it in the Glossary further down this page.

She studied psychology at Palacký University Olomouc. In her work she accompanies children, teenagers and adults at the Pestalozzi Crisis Centre in Chrudim. She also loves leading experiential courses and workshops. She is training in biosynthetic psychotherapy, which supports finding inner resources and leads to a more sensitive perception of yourself through the body, emotions and mind. As she likes to say, she “danced her way to herself” thanks to creative therapeutic dance – and she’ll give you a taste of it during the USEBE weekend. She’ll support you in sensing your own body, feelings, needs and inner strength. If you’re interested, she’s also available for personal consultations.

She studied Education and Andragogy at the Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University, and works as an education consultant and trainer. She loves the arts, especially theatre, theatre improvisation and playing the piano. For her, art is a safe place for self-expression, for drawing attention to social issues, and a form of therapy. You’ll meet her at workshops and in shows about the big dreams of a small woman, about the Little Dough, or about Princess Pleaseall, who for everyone… well, you’ll see!

She studied Molecular Biology and Genetics at the Faculty of Science, Masaryk University in Brno, but after several years of research at Charles University in Prague she drifted away from the world of science. She completed the School of Evangelisation run by the ICPE community and today she works as an interpreter and devotes herself to mime (not only) in the art duo Mim:o), dance, singing and other creative things. In our fairy-tale project you may have met her at the launch of the Czech edition in Olomouc and Brno, at a workshop in Tišnov or at the Že(h)nám conference. She is part of the AUTODI show about dreams, which she plays as a duo with Marta, as well as the show about Princess Pleaseall, and she loves dreaming up new creations.
