workshops

Summer in Sardinia is instilled with the passion, beauty and power of nature.

Through the use of meditation, yoga and dance you can find in one of our retreats the possibility to re-balance and re-center yourself on what is important in your life. Here you have the chance to let go of all the speed and the drama and the stress of your normal life, and at the same time you can immerse yourself in the slow and picturesque Sardinian country side and find a new prospective, a new sense of wellbeing.

Meditation and Contemplation help you to find stillness. In stillness you find movement and with movement you find joy and creative expression.

We consider Yoga and Dance interrelated and complementary.

With yoga you devote yourself completely to the creative spirit, and with Dance you celebrate it.

At the Retreat Center for Arts and Healing you start from acknowledging who you are and where you are in life at this moment, so that you have a chance to slow down and understand the changes that you need to make in your life.

We believe that everyone is a gifted artist that can be led to the creative source that is present in all, all the time.

Tap into the connection with the divine, and experience movement in a new important way.

Dancing for joy , dancing like a God .

Why do you think that Mythology has always linked creative powers with gods that danced? In our workshops we don’t want to forget the spiritual side of Dance, which really transcends the body. Here we dance and heal at the same time.

Creative expression in creative movement is a fountain of wellbeing.

Dance like you never have before.

In our workshops we focus on:

#Centering the body bringing the awareness in the moment.

# Healing through movement and sounds.

# Creating our own idiosyncratic movement in nature, exploring the different qualities of movement whether you move on a beach, on a mountain, in a forest, on top of a lava block or in the grounds of an archeological site.

# Reinforcing positivity and increasing self-confidence.

# Incrementing performing skills.

# Bringing devotion into movement.

#Create Movement-ART and perform it.

My Background:

I was diagnosed of cancer on july 3^rd 1994.

I survived it.

I celebrate now the 26th year of recovery.

Yoga saved my body from the consequences of the very invasive and painful medical treatments and from the large number of injuries collected dancing professionally for decades.

Meditation saved my mind from total depression and insanity.

Holistic therapies helped me to find again a sense of been cared for.

Since then I have transformed my approach to teach and to perform dance, making it more real, more human, more accessible to every one and not only dancers.

In 35 years of work, I have taught thousand of dancers and actors from all continents to get deeply in touch with their creative powers and their lives in general, some of them are scattered around the planet making performing work at vey high level of notoriety.

Movement is for all.
