workshops
Entrance to all workshops will be FREE OF CHARGE FOR OBSERVERS, so that they can experience the way each workshop functions.
«Life-Family workshop» (Experiences and role playing)
Family is where we belong since our birth, but also a school for the development of human being. Difficulties of the relations between family members, may become the motive for personal development and self awareness. Difficulties become then, lessons for us, so that we advance richer and more thankful for everything that has been given to us. We also use "tools" that help the family and/or relations to overcome any difficulty they may face. This year we will enjoy communicating with "puppets" our beloved ones when we were young ,one more way Constantin Fotinas attempted real contact with the inner self.

«Minimal movement and Meditation» : The Adult Prayer
(Meditation, Minimal movement - dance, respiratory and therapeutical exercises)
Minimal movement - dance is a form of slow and gentle exercise which is combined with meditation and during which movements are dictated by the body itself and not by the mind. As a result, movements differ from individual to individual, since they emerge from the uniqueness of each one. In this way, we appeal to the archetypal movements of our body, who, when performed, make the whole of us to rejoice and live in harmony and balance. There are many kinds of prayer. This year we focus on the "adult prayer" which is a prayer without any demand
We prepare our selves with gentle respiratory and therapeutical exercises, as well as exercises that help us to restore the energy flux in our bodies.
Coordinated by Chryssanthi Fotinou-Kisatzekian, Sofia Fotina-Chatzicocoli.
