Fitness & Embodiment Retreat | Sept 2026

1 Sep – 8 Sep 2026
Armonia Retreat Center

Our September 2026 retreat honors the standing tradition with Alex & Yorgos returning for the fourth consecutive year. Through fitness workshops and embodiment practices, participants cultivate greater presence, awareness, and more intentional communication in movement and daily life. Each day blends physical training, reflection, and meaningful connection. Meals and accommodation are included, with time for excursions to the beach and nearby local hotspots. The retreat offers practical tools and moments of renewal that extend well beyond the experience.

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.

Le Tapis Volant

A three-day explorative Lab dedicated to deconditioning, unfolding, and freeing the mind and body to feel your grounded presence. Open to performers and non-performers alike, this workshop creates space to slow down, build awareness, and listen to the impulses shaping how we move and connect. Through guided embodiment practices and grounding exercises, participants loosen habitual patterns to uncover a more spontaneous, authentic presence—whether you're an actor deepening your craft or simply curious about reconnecting with your body and instincts.
