Compassion in Action: NVC & Embodied Movement
2023-06-23 - 2023-06-25 | NYSY Studios, 43 Aiolou Str., Athens, Attica, 10051
Compassion in Action: NVC & Embodied Movement with Cat McCarthy

Move from inner friction & conflict to Connection, Freedom, & Creativity
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) helps us compassionately understand our conditioned behavior and offers a new lens through which to view the world. Cat McCarthy will introduce the key NVC concepts as a foundation upon which to build a practice. We will acquire tools of emotional intelligence to help generate untapped neural pathways for empathy in order to cultivate compassion with ourselves and the surrounding world.
Further, with Yoga & Embodied movement we will be able to move from places where tension, pain, and trauma are stored in our bodies to a state of flow and release through empathy practices.
Description
Cat McCarthy is an international yoga trainer, Nonviolent Communication (NVC) facilitator, and Compassionate Inquiry practitioner. In this training, Cat will guide us through the theory and practice of NVC, with a journey through our physical, mental, and emotional bodies. Imagine feeling heard, seen, and understood in a safe, spacious, and uninterrupted manner. This is empathy.
Over three full days, we will develop a new relationship with our feelings, learn to translate our judgments into core values, and practice empathy exchange. There will be a mix of playful exercises, embodied movement, and group discussion, so please bring an open heart and a curious mind. With a relationship to our feelings and needs, we can create stronger relationships, both inside and out. Get ready to shift your perspective on a cellular level!

Τhe Art of Mindful Living – H τέχνη του να ζούμε συνειδητά, @NYSY, Athens
2023-03-04 17:30 - 2023-03-05 20:30 UTC | NYSY Studios, 43 Aiolou Str., Athens, Attica, 10051
‘Ενα διήμερο απογευματινό retreat όπου βιώνουμε την Τέχνη του να ζούμε στη στιγμή, στο ΕΔΩ και το ΤΩΡΑ με ευχαρίστηση και ηρεμία.

There’s an art to sitting in such a way that we can feel relaxed, at peace and at ease. In the Plum Village Tradition, we sit just to enjoy sitting. There is nowhere to go and nothing to do. We can just enjoy sitting there, following our breathing, enjoying being alive. Our daily life is so busy, and we need time to stop, sit down, and restore ourselves and the quality of our presence.

Υπάρχει μια τέχνη να καθόμαστε με τέτοιο τρόπο ώστε να μπορούμε να νιώθουμε χαλαροί, γαλήνιοι και άνετοι. Στην παράδοση του Plum Village, καθόμαστε μόνο για να απολαύσουμε το καθισιό. Δεν υπάρχει πουθενά να πας και τίποτα να κάνεις. Μπορούμε απλώς να απολαύσουμε καθισμένοι εκεί, ακολουθώντας την αναπνοή μας, απολαμβάνοντας τη ζωή. Η καθημερινότητά μας είναι τόσο έντονη και χρειαζόμαστε χρόνο για να σταματήσουμε, να καθίσουμε και να αποκαταστήσουμε τον εαυτό μας και την ποιότητα της παρουσίας μας.

«Έφτασα, είμαι σπίτι»
σημαίνει:
δεν θέλω να τρέξω άλλο. Τρέχω όλη μου τη ζωή και δεν έχω φτάσει πουθενά. Τώρα θέλω να σταματήσω. Ο προορισμός μου είναι το εδώ και τώρα, ο μόνος χρόνος και τόπος όπου είναι δυνατή η αληθινή ζωή
Thich Nhat Hanh

Λίγα λόγια για τις εισηγήτριες:
Αδελφή Ελένη, Tu Nghiem (αδελφή Καλοσύνη)
Η αδελφή Tu Nghiem (γνωστή και ως Sister Eleni, ή Αδελφή Ελένη ή Αδελφή Καλοσύνη, ή Αδελφή Ευγένεια) γεννήθηκε στη Νέα Υόρκη, ΗΠΑ. Η μητέρα της ήταν κόρη Ελλήνων μεταναστών από την Κερασιά της Πελοποννήσου. Αυτή και ο αδερφός της περνούσαν τα καλοκαίρια τους με τους Έλληνες παππούδες τους, όπου έμαθαν να εκτιμούν την ελληνική κουλτούρα, ακούγοντας τους να μιλούν ελληνικά, να τρώνε ελληνικό φαγητό και να πηγαίνουν στην Ελληνική Ορθόδοξη Εκκλησία. Αργότερα, η Sr Tu Nghiem εργάστηκε ως νοσοκόμα και ήρθε στο Plum Village της Γαλλίας το 1990. Χειροτονήθηκε το 1991, ως δόκιμη μοναχή, και έγινε η ενδέκατη μαθήτρια του σεβάσμιου Thich Nhat Hanh. Το 1996 έγινε Δάσκαλος του Ντάρμα και έκτοτε έχει ηγηθεί σε retreats με τη σάνγκα στις ΗΠΑ και σε πολλές ευρωπαϊκές χώρες. Της αρέσει να μοιράζεται τις πρακτικές της ενσυνειδητότητας πολύ απλά, γνωρίζοντας ότι όλοι έχουν την ικανότητα να έχουν επίγνωση και να μεταμορφώνουν τον πόνο τους σε ευτυχία. Τα ενδιαφέροντά της περιλαμβάνουν να παρακολουθεί την ανατολή του ηλίου, να μελετά ελληνικά και να χορεύει το ελληνικό Καλαματιανό και να ακούει την αείμνηστη πιανίστα Alicia de Larrocha να παίζει το ρεπερτόριο του κλασικού πιάνου.
Αδελφή Trai Nghiem
Η Bhikshuni Chân Trai Nghiêm χειροτονήθηκε από τον Δάσκαλο του Zen Thich Nhat Hanh το 2009 και έγινε δασκάλα Dharma Village Plum το 2020. Μεγάλωσε στην Ιαπωνία και μετανάστευσε στις ΗΠΑ σε ηλικία δεκατριών ετών. Πριν ενταχθεί στο μοναστικό τάγμα στο Plum Village της Γαλλίας, εργάστηκε ως βιολονίστας για πολλά χρόνια, εμφανίζοντας σε όλο τον κόσμο ως μέλος της Ορχήστρας Mahler Chambler και της Ορχήστρας του Φεστιβάλ Λουκέρνης μεταξύ άλλων.
Από το 2002 έως το 2003 υπηρέτησε ως κονσέρτα της Αθήνας Καμεράτα στην Ελλάδα.

Injuries & Pathologies with SAMANTHA WOOD Part 2: Putting theory into Practice @ ZEN ROCKS MANI
2022-09-16 08:00 - 2022-09-21 17:00 | Attica
AY #408, Advanced BASI Pilates Therapeutics & Yoga Therapeutics, with Samantha Wood & Vivi Letsou – 25 hour Credit
September 16-21, 2022
Using Pilates and Yoga therapeutic techniques to help ourselves and our clients
This is the practical, hands on, sequel to Samantha’s signature course “Pilates for Injuries and Pathologies” taught in Thessaloniki in September, 2022.
And a sequel to the Abhaya Yoga “Subtle Anatomy & Yoga Therapy” course, taught at Zen Rocks also in September. However, anyone can attend this Part 2 practical course, even if you have not attended one of the theoretical courses before. Of course, having attended one or both of the theory courses before would give you excellent knowledge and more complete understanding.
Regardless, just show up. In this special first time course you will gain an embodied sense of bringing healing and balance into your whole system from feet to head, with specific therapeutic exercises for each part of the body.
Description of the Retreat:
During this 5-day retreat dedicated to therapy for various injuries and pathologies, we will take an innovative, totally practical approach to healing the body. We will be called to understand our body’s anatomy, inch by inch, to feel, move, bring into balance and health the different parts of the body from feet to head, while inviting balance to our body-mind constitution as a whole. We will learn therapeutic methods and techniques for different pains and injuries. We will touch our body, and move our feet, spine, arms and legs, neck and head, consciously, while exploring therapeutic exercises from a wide Yoga and Pilates repertoire.
We will be called to practice and teach therapeutic exercises in partner settings, so we can truly experience the application of the techniques. We will practice Therapeutic Yoga in the morning and Therapeutic Pilates in the afternoon. In each session there will be a part where we move in an embodied way, with a felt sense of our body and each body part separately, and as a whole. We will imagine the presence of an injury and work with therapeutic movement on ourselves first, and then proceed by teaching these techniques to our partner.
This course is a must for any movement teacher or therapist, but it is also open to all movement practitioners.
Before and after these intensive practice sessions, you can enjoy yourselves in the beautiful retreat setting of Zen Rocks, content and surrounded by olive trees, blue skies, and seas.
This course – retreat will be held at ZEN ROCK MANI

Anatomy Trains in Structure & Function, 24 hours Certification course
DECEMBER 17-18-19, 2021
@ BASI Pilates Greece, Aiolou 43 street, Athens
Course Description
Take a giant step forward in your ability to see, feel, and work with your clients
In 400 years of anatomy, no one has yet charted the fascial connections – until Anatomy Trains. Anatomy as we all learned it – origin, insertion, and action – is only part of the picture, Anatomy Trains is a revolutionary map that gives practical results in dealing with chronic problems.
This course covers:

Fascial Tensegrity: Learn the importance and properties of fascial tissue, as well as the function of the whole fascial system applied to training, body learning, stretching, elasticity, deep healing and longevity.
Anatomy Trains: Trace and understand the function of all 12 myofascial meridians that govern the stability / mobility equation in each of us
BodyReading Visual Assessment – Expand your ability to assess global postural and movement relationships accurately to attain the best strategy. See how trouble in one area is really sourced from a compensation far from the site of pain.
Fascial Release Techniques – two dozen innovative movement and manual therapy techniques to create lasting fascial change with your hands.
Emotional Integration: Hear the latest research on body and emotions, including a discussion of the vagus system, interoception, and the phenomenon of ‘trauma’.

Whatever your mode of working with the body, come learn about fascia’s many roles in the body. Anatomy Train has explanatory power

for yoga and Pilates teachers seeking to understand how progressive stretch and strength moves through the layers of your fascial being
for physiotherapists who want to create the best conditions for local work to be successfully integrated into recovery
for dancers to see and create easy and graceful movement
for manual therapists of all kinds to deepen their vision and hands-on work

This workshop has been updated over the pandemic time with new images to include a variety of concepts across modalities to maximise structural alignment, functional efficiency, and developmental maturity.
This course is open to manual and movement therapists of all modalities, including psychotherapists, doulas and midwives, osteopaths, and rehabilitation specialists – as well as those in massage, movement, yoga, physiotherapy, or athletic training.
Note: A certificate will be provided for those who successfully complete this course. This course is the official pre-requisite for the Anatomy Trains Structural Integration Professional Certification. Those who qualify can apply to the next level of our training: Structural Essentials.
Anatomy Trains Structural Essentials Program

Functional, Fascial and Structural approaches in one program
Understand how the body really moves,
Break the myths of anatomy and physiology
And learn to make the appropriate changes to maximize efficiency.

If you like the Anatomy Trains approach, continue your journey with the Structural Essentials Series. These regional intensives combine global postural assessment with movement and manual techniques for efficient and long-lasting results. Each of the 6 SE classes is based on consistent functional movement concepts, applied to everyday living and our new understanding of myofascial efficiency and whole body response. Important research findings are integrated into the presentations, along with easy-to-use assessments and applications that can be used for clients on your next day in clinic.
