The Opening of Eyes
17. - 22. August 2025
Buddha Hall Corfu, Arillas, Magoulades, GR
Soul Motion Workshop with Edgar Spieker
Eye-Sight has a special meaning for many people. Yet there are so many different sensory channels, all of which fill us with information and inspiration in their own way. We hear sounds, feel the ground and the air with our skin. We smell and taste the atmosphere of Corfu. And then there are the sensory channels that connect us to the inside of our bodies. All this abundance remains hidden to the eye.
What if we broaden our view of the horizon by using the full range of perceptual possibilities with which we are naturally endowed? What if we started to see with the eyes of the whole body?
Mindful, free, improvised dance is our medium of expression and experience. We listen with all our senses to our inner body space and the place within us from which the dance arises. We see with our whole body what inspires us and allow it to find its own authentic response in this dialog of life.
Again and again we return to the inner source, we are completely with ourselves. From there our journey of exploration begins, leading us simultaneously into the world and to a place of home inside of us.
This week in Corfu is a unique combination of nourishing workshop experiences and relaxation in the warming Corfu sun. The wonderfully warm Mediterranean Sea and the breathtakingly beautiful nature help us to find our way back to ourselves. Our dance sessions take place in the wonderful Buddha Hall. A unique dance space on a hill close to the sea with a fantastic view of the vastness of the island. The pool right in front of the dance room invites you to cool off after the sessions, and the delicious food that we can enjoy there on 6 days leaves body and soul well nourished.
Schedule:
Sun, Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri : Breakfast together at Buddha Hall and Soul Motion morning session. Lunch together. The afternoon is free. On three evenings we meet for a dinner and the Soul Motion evening session at Buddha Hall.
