WHEN BREATH BECOMES ART
In Greek and translated to English-speaking participants
Yoga & Art Retreat στην Αίγινα
Ένα δάσος για να περπατήσεις αργά
με τα πέλματα γυμνά ,
μια θάλασσα για να παραδοθείς στη φύση.
Μία πρόσκληση
για σένα που η πόλη σε σκληραίνει,
και νιώθεις την ανάγκη να μαλακώσεις,
σ´ένα κήπο όπου η σιωπή και το φως πλέκουν όνειρα
εκεί που η ανάσα γίνεται τέχνη
και το σώμα ακολουθεί τον ρυθμό της καρδιάς.
Τέσσερις μέρες επιστροφής στην απλότητα,
στην αυθεντικότητα,
σε ό,τι μένει καθαρό και αληθινό,
σαν ένα λευκό βότσαλο σμιλεμένο από το κύμα.
Yoga & Art Retreat in Aegina
For you who long for a forest to walk barefoot,
a sea to surrender your senses to nature,
for you whom the city has hardened
and who now seek to soften.
We invite you to a garden full of light and silence,
where breath becomes art
and the body moves to the rhythm of the heart.
Four days dedicated to returning
to simplicity,
to authenticity,
to what remains true and clear—
like a white pebble shaped and smooth by the wave.

VOICE IN MOVEMENT ~ from Soma to Ensemble // Ground ~ Sound ~ Release & Circles of Polyphonic Improvisation

Movement alone and with a partner, specific anatomical details and clear touch, will take us into the dance.

We will explore fluids, organs and our nervous system and integrate them into the research of the dances.
EMBODIED SOUL-SOULFUL BODY
In English
Embodied Soul - Soulful Body is a residential retreat specifically designed for therapists. The aim of this retreat is to provide nurturing and resourcing (for both body and soul) for those in 'helping professions' - who spend most of their time caring for others.
We will be connecting to body, mind, heart and soul through movement, embodiment, meditation, sound and voice work, active imagination and visualisation, ritual, creative arts, and journaling.
We will explore what it means to be fully awake to our innate BodySoul wisdom and our life force and how to start moving from a 'survival mode' into creativity, flow and thriving. All of the practices offered on this retreat are designed to help us re-connect with our authentic Soul/Self.
