Return to the core principles of Fitness and Embodiment with Alex & Yorgos for our first-ever June retreat. This special edition returns to the roots of the programme, focusing on connection, presence, and personal growth. Through fitness workshops and embodiment practices, participants deepen awareness and explore more intentional ways of relating to themselves and others. Each day blends movement, reflection, and shared experience in a supportive environment. Meals and accommodation are included, with time for excursions to the beach and nearby local hotspots.
An immersive three-day workshop dedicated to cultivating presence and authenticity in performance. This work is a journey toward uncovering one’s most authentic self and embodying a free, uninhibited artistic spirit. Through embodiment practices, participants explore how the body can serve as a gateway to deeper awareness, expression, and connection on stage. We will also work directly with the text, treating it as a living partner that invites curiosity and personal discovery. Guided by the tasting principle, artists are encouraged to experiment and stay open to what emerges in the moment.
