Holistic Talk in Bielsko-Bia\u0142a<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The event\u2019s host, Ja\u015bmina Nowak<\/strong>, understands perfectly how to conduct a conversation at a time when people find it easier to shout than to listen. A Radio Wnet journalist and president of the Freedom of Speech Foundation, she will guide the audience through an evening that gives space to others \u2014 to speakers, authors, and finally to everyone who arrives with openness and a readiness to listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exceptional space of the event will also play an important role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Cavatina Hall event that prepares us to think<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cavatina Hall ranks among the most modern concert halls in Poland.<\/strong> Its acoustics allow every sound to reach the listener without distortion, while the hall itself encourages concentration. Before the first voices appear on stage, music will fill the space. The Cavatina Philharmonic Orchestra String Quartet will perform a short concert of film music \u2014 a journey that needs no words in order to move us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talks that stay in the mind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Joanna Sadzik<\/strong> will appear on stage. The president of the Wiosna Association, co-creator of Szlachetna Paczka and Akademia Przysz\u0142o\u015bci, will reach into the heart of what is most human in us in her talk, \u201cWhy Do People Want to Be Good, and How Can This Mechanism Be Unlocked in Them?\u201d For many years, Joanna Sadzik has taught that support cannot remain a one-time act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an expert in wise helping, she shows how people can engage responsibly in social action so that it brings long-term results. Her experience includes building bridges between business and social organizations, as well as original programs that support parents, teachers, and seniors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rados\u0142aw Ambro\u017cy<\/strong>, an astronomer and popularizer of science, will take the audience on a journey<\/a> titled \u201cIn Space, Time Stands Still.\u201d This will not be an ordinary lecture about black holes and exoplanets, but an invitation to pause, look up, and ask ourselves the most important questions. As Rados\u0142aw Ambro\u017cy writes on his website:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We will meet in a special place \u2014 Cavatina Hall \u2014 where together we will look at the sky, but also… deep within ourselves.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The war inside a person never ends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Przemys\u0142aw W\u00f3jtowicz will bring a completely different perspective. A former sniper wounded during military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, he wrote the books Snajper wchodzi pierwszy<\/em> and Zanim naci\u015bniesz spust<\/em>. In his talk, \u201cThe War Inside a Person Never Ends,\u201d he will speak about wounds that cannot be seen at first glance. About those that remain in the mind, in reflexes, in sleepless nights, and in the silence surrounding those who have returned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

No psychologist came to me. We were lying in operating rooms, we were wounded, we needed someone. No chaplain came either. That is exactly what I would expect from the Polish army. A psychologist and a chaplain are not goodwill \u2014 they are an obligation,<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Przemys\u0142aw W\u00f3jtowicz recalled in an interview with Holistic News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These three perspectives \u2014 social, cosmic, and military \u2014 may seem distant from one another. And yet the same question connects them: how to remain human in a limit situation. Holistic Talk creates a space in which these perspectives can meet and illuminate one another.<\/strong> The program also includes a forth talk, and the organizers will announce its topic and speaker soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authors\u2019 foyer. The second stage of Holistic Talk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Between 3:30 p.m. and 6:15 p.m., Cavatina Hall will turn into a vibrant Authors\u2019 Zone. It is the second stage of the event. Perhaps slightly less official, more direct. But just as important and interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where visitors will be able to meet Jacek Piekara<\/strong>, one of the most important voices in Polish fantasy. The author of the famous \u201cInquisitor Cycle\u201d has retold the story of power, heresy, and human nature in a new way. Piekara also reaches for themes closer to everyday life \u2014 his latest reportage album looks at the Polish People\u2019s Republic without cheap sensationalism and gives voice to those who remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the foyer, between books and coffee, visitors will be able to talk about how literature \u2014 not only fantasy \u2014 tells stories about the contemporary world, about fear of otherness, and about the human condition, which in the darkest stories turns into the most universal question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside Piekara, visitors will meet Dariusz Jaro\u0144<\/strong>, a journalist and reporter, author of books about Polish Himalayan climbers and ski jumpers, and Andrzej Kucyba\u0142a<\/strong>, a conductor and educator who has shaped the musical sensitivity of successive generations for years. The Authors\u2019 Zone will also feature Holistic Talk in Bielsko-Bia\u0142a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of these meetings offers a different kind of journey \u2014 into the mountains, into sound, into literature, into the depths of the human psyche. Each of these journeys begins with a conversation. The organizers will expand the list of authors and announce further names soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
