Hello, I'm Marta.

I'm glad you're here!

I’m a writer, facilitator, and (sometimes) artist based in Edinburgh, Scotland. What I most care about is creating experiences of connection and building healthy communities - two very related things! I do this through consulting, creating educational content, and working with groups.

My main line of work is rooted in mindfulness and Authentic Relating. I have trained with the Polish Mindfulness Institute, hold a diploma in Mindfulness & Compassion from SWPS University and continue to collaborate with Authentic Revolution where I trained as a facilitator. In the past ten years, I assisted in building communities and non-profit projects in Poland, Scotland, France, and the United States.

I live in The Salisbury Centre, a community hub located at the foot of an extinct volcano. This is the base for a lot of my in-person work: running events, workshops, and nurturing the community as a resident. It's also the place which continues to fuel my personal and spiritual growth.

When I'm not working, you'll find me exploring Scottish hills, running, dancing Bachata, eating good food, or plotting the next event with my friends. Or, a combination of those. ;-)

To see communities and projects I worked with, check out my portfolio.

I also have a newsletter called Connection Hub.

My values

Collaboration

I can only do so much on my own. Working with others brings possibilities that I can't tap into otherwise. With collaboration comes a special kind of satisfaction and

Courage

"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone" is a cliché. But, there's something to be said for the value of leaping into the unknown and facing fears. Change can't happen without it.

Compassion

Wanting to relieve suffering in myself and others is one of my main driving forces. It connects me to one of the main things human have in common - we suffer, and we look for ways not to.

Connection

Connection is a treasure in a disconnected world and, often, a remedy for suffering. Creating experiences of connection is the bottomline of all my work.
