With the philosophical theory as a starting point, we approach existential issues through movement, theatre, psychotherapy and the dynamic of the group.

The combination of three destinations in a common way addresses the 3 sources of support and potential in every human, spirit, body, soul.
A creation of a learning, experimental and self-awareness space, where each guide becomes also a participant, changing places between teacher and learner. The participants, through an individual and common process, get in touch with known or unknown meanings with which they experiment in movement and realize the concept of them in their lives.

Advantages:

• Philosophy knowledge
• Self-awareness and personal evolvement
• Holistic empowerment –body, spirit, soul
• Encouragement in creativity
• Connection with the group
