Description

Ciao,
I'm Zosia, an Australian/Polish interdisciplinary artist and Dance Movement Psychotherapist in training, currently based in London completing my MA. I've exhibited and traveled extensively, creating work in sculpture, performance, and video while engaging communities about their relationship to land, territory, and their bodies.

I love animals, nature, dancing, and cooking amazing food. For the past few years, I've been living between Oaxaca, Mexico, Europe, and California, and I'm eager to return to Workaway after many years away. In my early 20s, I completed 30+ workaways throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, and I'm hungry for those authentic, raw, and real experiences again-immersing myself in local culture, spirit, food, and people.

My practical skills: organic farming and permaculture (from my family's farm in Australia), creating/project managing Artist Residencies, childcare, housesitting, disability support work, NGO experience, retreat and workshop facilitation, house renovation, social media marketing, website design, team coordination, creative design, and large-scale cooking - now therapy lol!

On my days off, you'll find me getting lost in forests, reading, being a beach bum, meditating, journaling, and writing.

Zosia contributed greatlyduring her time with us. Her amazing energy, creativity and enthusiasm is not easily found, but was greatly appreciated throughout her stay.

We experienced Zosia as an enthusiastic worker who loves cooking.
Zosia is an independent, creative, intelligent and confidant woman.
Se is quite mature for her age, broadly interested, likes to learn and knows a lot already.
Good co-worker and 'Hands on' type of person.

Zofia's contribution to the team who went to the Dananao tribe (community) is great and admirable. Along with other volunteers, she worked genuinely to get to know the indigenous people and enjoyed being with the kids at the school. It is not the intention of the project to criticize people particularly volunteers, because what we do mostly is to … read more

If you get the opportunity to work with him - do it!!!! The work load was pretty relaxed but there's always something to be done, so it definitely depends on you. This place … read more
