In a different seminar on the history of art, the image is freed from its shackles. It comes to remind us, or even to create new, emotions, to socio-politically communicate the past with the present, to inspire the future. Mainly, to incite the affect and to overcome theories, chronological dates and movements. Through discussion we will disagree to agree that beauty exists and may not be the same for everyone, but also that it may not need to be. It will be perceived with the five senses, it will be examined through this prism, like an innocent children’s game.

Whirling is a dance and a meditation in movement. The most known reference is the whirling Dervishes. The practice of whirling can offer many and various benefits, it enables us to get in contact with various parts of ourselves – either close to our awareness, or further away from it. Through it we find strength, joy, relaxation, we’re being moved, and we find a sense of liberation – even the possibility of the ecstatic experience.

In these workshops, we’ll have the opportunity to introduce the beginners to whirling, to recap many of the basic technique issues that have already been touched upon, but also to go deeper and cover more issues as well. Each weekend holds its own theme, but we also follow the group’s dynamic and the special needs that are being present each time. Whirling workshops are open and accessible to anyone who wants to join, and no special background or knowledge of the subject is required. Each one of us finds their way to whirl according to their body and their psycho-emotional state.

* The Whirling workshops are being held at Spiti Yoga under the guidance of Alexandros Farmakis. Due to the imposed lockdown, the last 2020 meetings are annuled and will take place on new arranged dates within 2021. We will inform everyone on time. Stay safe! Do you have any questions?

In the first part of the seminar, we explore basic motor skills of our muscles and joints, and various ways of contact and interaction between two bodies. Borrowing elements from different contemporary dance techniques, we learn basic techniques and ways of interaction through muscle pressure techniques (feet, hands, fingers, etc.) and through joints movement.

In the second part, we work in couples and offer each other a complete therapy. This includes traditional Thai massage techniques in various positions (prone, supine, lateral and sitting position).

* The Thai massage for dummies workshop is being held at Spiti Yoga under the guidance of George Androulakis.

A two-day advanced massage seminar to get acquainted with the intestines (guts) of ourselves and others. Emotional tensions and anxiety, modern lifestyle, inappropriate eating habits, stress levels are some of the factors that justify the expression “I hate my guts”. A quite common phenomenon for sufferers is reflex pain in the lumbar spine: the back hurts, but what really suffers is the abdomen.

Unfolding the thread from the anatomy of the area in question, we will enrich our knowledge and perception through the palpation of the abdominal organs. We will learn easy ways to contact the area, along with ways to enter deeper. So, by applying the appropriate techniques we can achieve the absolute relaxation of the receiver, as well as more chances of release from chronic or ephemeral tensions.

The seminar is addressed to massage lovers with some experience; to everyone who suffers from visceral pain now and then; to anyone who wants to spend a special weekend full of theoretical knowledge and practice.

* The Dynamic Thai massage workshop will be held at Spiti Yoga under the guidance of Vaggelis Baris. Its duration is 12 hours and it costs 90 Euros. Due to the imposed lockdown, the scheduled workshop is annuled and will take place on new arranged dates within 2021. We will inform everyone on time. Stay safe! Do you have any questions?
