Facilitation

The movement sessions are guided by Kyveli Kouvatsi and are based on a participatory and non-hierarchical approach, cultivating each person’s agency within an environment of collective care.

Inspired by awareness-based practices and the simplicity of nature, the sessions suggest a space where each person can explore towards a freer, effortless and more spontaneous way of moving, and connect more deeply with themselves and others.

Kyveli is a movement practitioner and dance educator working with somatic movement, improvisation and creative exploration, focusing on embodied awareness, presence and movement as a place of encountering oneself and others.

She has studied at the National School of Dance (KSOT) and continues her ongoing practice and research in somatics, experiential anatomy and movement improvisation, informed and inspired by approaches such as Skinner Releasing Technique, Body-Mind Centering®, Authentic Movement and more.
