Το Φθινόπωρο, βάλαμε προορισμό το μαγευτικό Πήλιο! Σάββατο 25 /Οκτωβρίου – Τρίτη 28/Οκτωβρίου Το γύρισε ο καιρός σε αποχαιρετισμό …. Κι εσύ τι κάθεσαι ;;; Καιρός να μπεις στην διαδρομή…. Καιρός να γίνεις το « άλλο φθινόπωρο » Καιρός να γίνεις αυτό που αληθινά Είσαι …. Όλα τα χρώματα Μαζί ..!! Έλα μαζί μας σε ένα τετραήμερο απόλαυσης – Ζωτικότητας – σε μια Αρχετυπική Μυσταγωγία με αρωγό τα Πέντε Στοιχεία της Φύσης.
Που θα γίνει η διαδρομή ; Στα μονοπάτια των Κενταύρων, στην Πύλη του Ήλιου στο Π-Ηλιο …. Ο «Πρόκλος» αναφέρει ότι ο σημερινός άνθρωπος, ξεκομμένος από τη Φύση και το Θεό, βουλιάζει όλο και περισσότερο στο στείρο του ορθολογισμό παρασέρνοντας μαζί του χιλιόχρονες παραδόσεις και διδασκαλίες που θεωρούν την γη ένα ζωντανό οργανισμό. Σκοπός του ανθρώπου πρέπει να είναι η εναρμόνιση και εκλέπτυνση των στοιχείων που τον αποτελούν. Για να λύσει το αίνιγμα του εαυτού του, όπως ο Οιδίποδας στον μύθο της σφίγγας ο άνθρωπος πρέπει να κυριαρχήσει τα 4 στοιχεία. Και για να συμβεί αυτό, ο νους χρειάζεται να απελευθερωθεί από τον κόσμο τον αισθητό και από μια ανθρωπομορφική διάσταση των πραγμάτων
Τι θα κάνουμε ? . Περπάτημα στην πλούσια βλάστηση ανάμεσα σε καταρράκτες και νερά. Ανάσες οξυγόνου. Θα απολαύσουμε τις μυρωδιές, τους ήχους και την πανχρωμία της φύσης με όλες μας τις αισθήσεις. . Θα Σιωπήσουμε, έτσι ώστε να ακούσουμε τα κελαϊδίσματα των πουλιών. Θα χαθούμε στο πράσινο του δάσους και στο γαλάζιο της θάλασσας… . Ασκήσεις με το σώμα . Θα εξερευνήσουμε την Δύναμη των Πέντε Στοιχείων μέσω ήχου – δόνησης με τα Πυθαγόρειa διαπασών – tuning forκ . Ευθυγράμμιση των Ενεργειακών κέντρων μέσω του ήχου της φωνής μας . Ηχοθεραπεία με Γκονγκ . Θα έρθουμε σε επαφή με Το «γνώθι σ’ αυτόν» των προγόνων μας και την κυριαρχία του ανθρώπου στις 4 πλευρές της προσωπικότητάς του μέσω των στοιχείων . Τα στοιχεία είναι Πέπλα και πίσω τους κρύβονται Πνεύματα και Ανώτερες Δυνάμεις…….. . Θα ξετυλίξουμε την «αλήθεια» πίσω από τον Κένταυρο Χείρωνα που βρίσκεται στον μυθικό του ρόλο ως σοφού δασκάλου και θεραπευτή στην αρχαία ελληνική μυθολογία Αν θέλεις , αυτό το Φθινόπωρο να κάνεις ένα Δώρο αποδοχής, φροντίδας που αληθινά αξίζει ο Πολύτιμος Εαυτός σου, δεν έχεις παρά να Είσαι Κι Εσύ στην Αγκαλιά μας. Επικοινώνησε στο info@agkalia.com να λάβεις το πρόγραμμα της εκδρομής . Οι θέσεις είναι περιορισμένες …. Σας περιμένουμε με χαρά !

Βασική προυπόθεση μας να απολάυσουμε το τριήμερό μας χωρίς άγχος!
Imagine 5 days in the magical island of Serifos in Greece amongst nature, exploring and purifying your inner self through ancient Greek Therapy techniques. The private access to the beach with the blue-green water of the sea and the ”wild” side of the island will make you feel that you are in a eco- living secret paradise.
The ”Contact with your Inner Sound” retreat is a journey through different techniques of Physical Somatic Theater, Drama Therapy, Yoga of the Voice and Sound Therapies with planetary Gong and Tibetan Singing Bowls, which will allow you to cultivate your own power and to incorporate the sound as your therapist.
You are going to be connected with all healing qualities that nature can offer to your body, mind and soul .
DESCRIPTION
During this retreat we will discover and connect with our inner sound through a personal awakening journey that begins with :
. * Physical theater techniques help us to begin an active dialogue with our bodies. The first step is to connect with our body through free movement, following the body’s impulse. As we follow the impulse, we seek to recognize the emotion.
* Drama therapy tools and techniques we will aim at connecting and accepting our inner reality which very often is quite far from the outer. Recognition and acceptance will help us get rid of the internal conflict that is the cause of stress. Our authentic self will meet us when we first cleanse our house to receive it.
* The yoga of the voice through ancient breath and sound practices, guides us into the experience of devotional chants and sounds that clear, tune, and stimulate the brain and the energy of the chakras. As a result, the mind expands into luminous states of consciousness and an ecstatic sense of well-being, while we reveal and connect with our personal sound.
* Gong Bath immersion / Tibetan Singing Bowls. The sound vibrations, frequencies, and harmonic sacred sounds of planetary Gong transfer our brain activity to Alpha and Theta brain waves of deep relaxation. Here begins the experiential journey of awakening, coordination, purification, and self-healing.
It is a unique experience of rhythms, movements, and sound frequencies, a sound journey through the Pythagorean music of the Spheres.
* You can spend your free time in the lush garden of pine trees, eucalyptus, and olive trees, where breakfast, beverages, and dinner are served, enjoying moments of relaxation and rejuvenation.
* Explore Lia beach, a step away, so you can swim into the bleu-green water of aegean sea.
* Choose 5-kilometers running or cycling routes to find the best way to explore the island.
WHAT IS SPECIAL IN THIS RETREAT
Contact with your Inner Sound Retreat offers 5 days of experience based on ancient Greek Healing Arts, perfect for those who are seeking purification, tranquillity, rejuvenation, and inspiration.
The retreat is for a maximum of 14 guests, where each one receives our special attention to all their individual needs and requirements, while at the same time we are creating the perfect balance of relaxation and recreation in the ultimate destination of an eco-living paradise.
The transformative magic in this retreat happens due to the combination of Physical Somatic Theater techniques, Drama Therapy, Breathing and Voice Yoga techniques, and a journey into the sacred sounds of Gong Bath Therapy and Tibetan Singing Bowls. In this retreat we use these ancient Greek Healing Arts as a tool for better understanding, expressing, and finally contact with our inner sound and inner self.
The lush garden of pine trees, eucalyptus, and olive trees, the private access in Lia beach one step away with the blue-green water of the sea, our Cycladic hospitality with breakfast and meals made from the best local produce, consist a primitive experience, but without the lack of modern comforts, far away from unnatural sounds which are distracting us from the physical state of our health.
