Workshops & Facilitators

Dance Alchemy is an opportunity to explore life issues and transform the emotions behind it. With movement and presence we allow things that are hidden in the unconscious mind to be revealed, expressed and felt. Allowing ourselves to feel, we become more grounded in our bodies. Our sensitivity, resilience, and capacity to be more present in daily life expands, no matter the situation.


This workshop supports you with a guided exploration of your inner world through dance, presence and acceptance. A way to transform and to free blocked energy into aliveness and celebration.

Whirling is an ancient Sufi technique, where you whirl on the spot with your arms outstretched. Accompanied by musicians playing traditional Sufi music, Dhyana will share a space for you to learn and experience this active meditation that helps the mind to relax, moving you into a soft, and silent space – the very center of your being.


Founder and organizer of the Conscious Dance Festival®, Dhyana (born in Colombia, based in Berlin) is a passionate meditator and dancer with a vast experience in different meditation techniques, therapy and somatic work as well as movement practices. She is a certified practitioner of the body-based therapy Dance Alchemy, trainer and facilitator for OSHO Active Meditations and OSHO Meditative Therapies, and facilitates Whirling workshops, initiating others in this ancient tradition.

Dhyana is as well the creator of Whirling in Berlin, and OSHO Colombia. She travels the world offering spaces and courses for those who wish to have an experience of meditation in movement.

Not just free dance, nor just a creative expression or simply conscious movement. 5Rhythms is a practice with solid foundations, alive, creative, and ever-evolving. The rhythms are a gateway to authenticity—a concrete map, experienced by thousands around the world, that brings together body, heart, and spirit. Those who dance this path know that dancing the 5Rhythms means coming into contact with both their power and their stillness.
5Rhythms is a practice with deep roots. Created by Gabrielle Roth in the 1970s, it was the first discipline to use dance as a path for self-exploration, personal transformation, and inner inquiry. To this day, it remains a foundation and inspiration for many other movement practices.
Guided by Nirvana, 5Rhythms Global Certified Teacher, and accompanied by music with diverse rhythms, origins and tempos, the practice is open to everyone, regardless of age or physical limitations. There are no specific moves to learn, and you can participate at your own pace, within your own range of motion.

 

Nirvana, born in Buenos Aires, is a Certified 5Rhythms® Teacher, Osho Meditative Art Facilitator, and Active Meditation guide. Movement, art, and creativity are her pathways to explore truth. Through her teachings, she creates spaces of deep acceptance, where relaxation and effortlessness allow the body, mind and spirit to open—revealing the unique source of life that resides within each of us.
She currently teaches regularly in Turin, Italy, and offers classes and workshops in Greece and internationally.

We are each moved by the dance between the masculine and feminine—two essential energies within us, each with its own rhythm, seeking harmony and integration.
Holistic Tango is a path of self-awareness that draws from the essence of Argentine Tango to explore how these polarities live in our bodies and express through movement. Led by Nagesh, the workshop invites you to dance in couples—no previous tango experience needed. This is not about performance, but about presence and connection.


Through tango’s embrace and its two roles—the leader (active) and the follower (receptive)—you’ll embody both aspects, each danced to different music.
This experience becomes a space to feel, reflect, and realign. By dancing the polarity, we move toward balance, awareness, and the inner experience of “two becoming one.”

 

Born in Sicily, Nagesh has been immersed in the path of Tantra since 2012, drawing inspiration from teachers within the Osho lineage. His work bridges the inner and outer worlds, blending spiritual insight with embodied practice.
He is a certified Holistic Tango teacher, using dance as a tool for self-awareness and relational clarity. As a breathwork facilitator in the B.E.H.S® method, Nagesh guides others to reconnect with the vital force of life through conscious breathing.



Rio Abierto System (Open River in Spanish) A spiritual-body-mind practice that integrates playfulness, creativity, and deep awareness. Originating in South America and practiced worldwide.

Ecstatic Dance is a moving meditation—a way to connect with the divine within and the universal energy that flows through all things. Through intentional movement, the body becomes a vessel for expression, healing, and transformation.

 

Free from any guidance, this session is an open exploration—an invitation to dance on your own, using the tools and awareness cultivated throughout the retreat.

 

The music becomes your guide, leading you into deeper presence, connection, and inner freedom. It's a journey of self-discovery, celebration, and remembering your natural state of joy and wholeness.

 

Mridu Prem – Pavlos Kriarakis is the founder of Ecstatic Radiance, a movement dedicated to healing, transformation, and embodied awareness. His work blends meditation, heart consciousness, and somatic therapy, grounded in deep love for life and presence.

 

As a mentor of From Separation To Unity (FSTU) and an Ecstatic Dance DJ & facilitator, Mridu weaves sound, movement, and stillness to guide people into states of ecstasy, alignment, and inner healing. Drawing from breathwork, body-based therapies, and meditation, he invites the body to soften and release, opening space for transformation.



Qigong is an ancient, archetypal form of movement meditation created by Taoist masters.  As a traditional healing art qigong releases energetic blockages which store trapped emotions in the body.  This release creates a sense of well-being and freedom from physical and psychic pain.  The meditative aspect of the movement helps practitioners to enter into the ‘rest, relax and restore’ state and contributes to experiencing wu wei or ‘doing non-doing’. Over time, practitioners learn to create ‘reserves’ of Qi in the body that are then used to fuel profound healing insights.

Spiritdome yoga combines the precision and therapeutic nature of Iyengar yoga with the dynamism and flowing nature of Ashtanga. One essential difference is the integration of Taoist yin-yang and 5 element theory which is integrated into the sequencing of asana. Practitioners participate in a yoga session which is designed to respond to various human temperaments, natural forces, and biological and cosmological factors. The result is a yoga that is dynamic in its variation between the polarities of stillness and expression.


Atithi is a Qigong and Yoga instructor and a Tantra and Sacred Sexuality teacher.  He is also a practicing acupuncturist and practices Thai Massage.
Movement and the body are inextricably linked to all facets of Atithi’s life and work.  Qigong, Nei gong, Dao yin, Taijichuan and meditation have taken their turns as his main daily practice since 2002.  However, Qigong and Yoga have been the most consistent companions toward the revelation of the deepest inner truths.  These arts can reveal so much about the process of becoming more of oneself that it becomes difficult to image life without some style of internal practice.
Currently Atithi lives in Athens where he treats patients and teaches privately and adjunctly for the European Institute of Integrative Health Sciences.

In this evening session Nadeen  and Dhyana invite us to experience the infinite depth of Darkness.

VOICING© is a unique practice that uses spontaneous singing as a tool to reconnect with our authenticity and express all the dimensions of our Being. During this embodied practice we have the space to express our emotions and even our frustrations or blockages, singing without relying on pre-established melodies. Letting each type of sound and melody arise, no matter how strange or unusual it may seem. Like children who just sing, without caring what they sing or who is listening! This allows our energy to transform and for us to experience the healing power of our own voice.

Our bodies have a language. Let’s listen.
Fluentbody™, founded by Florencia Lamarca, is a combination of movement and somatic therapy that helps people to be generous to their body and mind. It is a practice of discovery, curiosity, and awareness. We take a journey through movement, connecting and feeling, to explore the intricacies of our stories. Through the power of movement, breath, and voice, we playfully explore the patterns of our body. It is an invitation to become completely present and aware of yourself, gaining more clarity of our own power and strengths. We allow sensations and feelings to move with and through us without judgment, which works on a physical as well as emotional layer of wellbeing.

Her work is rooted in Fluentbody, Transformative Bodywork (Somatic Therapy), Vocal Training, Osho Active Meditations & BodyMind Meditative Therapy, and Trauma-resourcing methods.
Currently Masha teaches groups, one-to-one, workshops/retreats in Berlin as well as abroad.
