FACILITATORS AND GUIDES OF THE HEALING FESTIVAL 2026

Petra Knapovská (CZ)

“Paths are made by walking.”
— Franz Kafka

How can we find a path to inner stability and harmony amid turbulent emotions and relationships?

Mgr. Petra Knapovská is a child psychologist and psychotherapist, and one of the co-founders of the Asociace přírodního wellbeingu (Association for Nature and Forest Therapy). She supports parents, teenagers, and children who need guidance, as well as individuals and groups who wish to grow and develop.

Her holistic approach draws from trauma-informed, systemic, and expressive therapeutic methods, with a strong emphasis on creating a safe and respectful space where people can be authentic and truly heard.

A natural part of her work is the integration of nature through forest therapy and its gentle elements, which support calming, deeper experience, and a return to oneself. Central themes of her work include relationships, parenting, and finding balance between caring for others and caring for oneself.

For the Healing Festival, Petra has created a completely new and unique program designed specifically for the atmosphere of this event. She will offer workshops for children, teenagers, and mothers with children, focusing on developing inner strength, creativity, and mutual support in a safe and playful environment.

Petra works from a deep trust that every person carries the answers they are seeking within themselves. With lightness and enthusiasm, she invites you on a journey of discovering your own inner resources. Whether this path leads upward or downward, its purpose is to help you live closer to what you truly desire in the depths of your soul.

I look forward to meeting you in a safe space of play, creativity, and exploration of inner calm and harmony, filled with laughter and joy. Give your children the space to discover their own path back to themselves, or join them and deepen your relationship and mutual understanding.
