Rest in Motion | Summer Dance Workshops in Lefkada, Greece

Set in the remote wild beauty of Paleohori, nestled in the mountains
of Lefkada, this summer dance program offers a rare opportunity to
reconnect with your unique movement through dance improvisation,
experiential anatomy, artistic expression and somatic exploration.
In a world that often equates movement with effort and rest with
stillness, Rest in Motion invites you to explore a space where these
opposites dissolve into one another. Across four immersive periods,
participants will engage with workshops led by international
facilitators, each bringing their own approach to dance and embodied
practice, offering tools to uncover new pathways of expression and
perception and inviting you to being fully present in your body—moving
not out of habit or expectation, but from a place of deep listening
and awareness.
The experience extends beyond the dance floor: Life at Paleohori is a
rhythm of its own—waking up early in the morning with the sounds of
the forest, sharing nourishing meals, resting under the shade of
trees, and moving together in an open-air wooden studio surrounded by
cypress trees and kermes oaks. The space itself becomes a part of the
process: a nest where movement is not forced but inviting and
unfolding, where rest is not passive but deeply alive.
Sharing the space is an essential part of this journey. A temporary
community forms, built on mutual care, support, and shared
exploration. From heart circles to late-night conversations under the
stars, and from dancing to sharing the maintenance of the space, every
aspect of daily life feeds into a sense of connection—both with
oneself and with others. Movement is not just something we do, but
something we experience in a relational and expansive way.
