About Sonia’s Planet

Sonia’s Planet (formerly known as Languages & Emotions) is a project founded by Sonia Szramek-Karcz, PhD. Research on intentional bilingualism directed her attention towards emotions and subsequently the relationship between emotions and the body.

Thus, the Languages & Emotions project was born. Its beginnings date back to 2016 when the first international Languages & Emotions conference took place. Since then, there have been six editions of the conference.

Over time, the scope of interests has expanded significantly. This led to the creation of the umbrella project called the Planet of Sonia, which currently focuses on the following topics:

language learning | multilingualism | intentional bilingualism | intrinsic motivation | alternative education | teal organizations | peace of mind | emotions in the body | good relationships | holistic development | health | positive psychology | working with the subconscious mind…

…and many more.

Who am I?

My name is Sonia Szramek-Karcz, and I hold a Ph.D. in Humanities. I am a graduate of the University of Silesia and Université d’Artois in France. I lead the Planet of Sonia project, which aims to deepen people’s awareness of how emotions manifest in our bodies. Through my research on intentional bilingualism, I discovered that parental emotions play a crucial role in the harmonious development of children. By delving into the topic and the role of emotions, I have reached an understanding of the thoughts and feelings that regulate the human nervous system and contribute to the balance of specific body parts and internal organs.
