Interwoven Practices of Somatic Movement, Plant Wisdom & Collective Care. A late summer invitation to explore the wisdom of the body, the spirit of plants, and the peaceful power of shared presence and co-creation.

Where: Paleohori eco-art space, Lefkada island, Greece

When: 12–19 September 2025

Deadline for applications: Due to limited spots, participation will be confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis.

This program unfolds as a field of interwoven practices — blending somatic movement inquiry with hands-on herbal exploration. Movement will be an ongoing invitation to engage deeply with the body’s wisdom through dance improvisation, somatic exploration, partnering, conscious touch, and attuned presence. This somatic dance exploration encourages noticing internal sensations, responding honestly, and moving in dialogue with oneself, others, and the environment.

The movement workshops will be gently guided by Kyveli Kouvatsi and Yorgos Sioras Deligiannis (dance artists and movement educators), who bring their unique tools and perspectives from their somatic movement and dance practices Losing Ground and Bloom Inside.

With the guidance of Aris Kokotsis (herbalist with 25 years of experience, devoted to the path of plant wisdom and healing) we’ll be attuning not just to the medicinal properties of plants, but also to their presence and frequency — how they resonate with the body’s energetic landscape. We’ll gain practical skills like crafting our own tinctures and creams, while also deepening our connection to the plants through hands-on creation and care. Alongside this, we’ll explore the ancient myths and stories behind the plants—their names, their traditional uses, and the wisdom they’ve carried through generations.

Through daily rituals of care, dance, and shared space, we will weave a rhythm of connection and co-creation.

No previous experience in dance or herbalism is needed. Just your willingness to arrive, listen, and move.
