Meet your teachers

I am Apostolia, an internationally acclaimed choreographer, performer, and a transformational retreat leader and teacher.  I studied Contemporary Dance, Contact Improvisation, Yoga and Alexander Technique in New York. As a lover of healing arts, and spirituality, I am trained in Shamanism, Music, Voice, Diving, Craniosacral Therapy, and Rei-Ki collaborating with inspiring artists, healers, and teachers in many lands.

After 25 years of being a spiritual artist and a life changing teacher, I am honored to share with you the way to freedom, self-love, and creativity inviting Maria as a guest teacher to uplift the experience of vibrational movement and voice.

My highest intention is to keep opening the eyes of the soul and tuning into the frequency of Love no matter how life challenges me. The Happiness Retreat is an open-hearted invitation to share knowledge, experience, and joy with beautiful souls like you!

"Every minute of working with Apostolia is a vital reminder of who I am, how I approach my center, and how I accept the divine gifts of my being."

Maria Papageorgiou

I am Maria and I navigate through life with music. I sing, I compose songs and I love to teach people how to discover their own authentic voice. Although I am a very shy person, I transform when I go on stage, which is the most magical thing in the world and the way I do it is by connecting to my innermost instinct as a tool to harmonize my body, my vocal cords and my emotions.

The voice for me is a mystical vibration through the spaces of our body and an amazing tool to connect with our deepest self expressing freely our emotions.

Up to now, I have released 6 personal albums, based on originally composed songs, unreleased live recordings, a collectible vinyl entitled “3 Degrees” writing my own lyrics and compositions and ”Correspondence”, my most recent work, collaborating with famous Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis. 

I have been collaborating with Apostolia for many years now and I can't wait to share our "alchemy" with you!

Here is one of my songs!

Our Practices

We are dancing creatures, we are singing creatures we are creative beings. We have a wild flame of life force inside of us and the ability to connect with the highest frequency of all, Love!

Our sessions in the beautiful Malloca or in Nature include

Loving the breath

Movement of the Senses - Freeing the body

Voice Warming Up and Vocal Exercises - Freeing the Voice

Authentic Movement and Voice Improvisation

Connecting Movement and Voice with Fire, Water, Earth and Wind 

Teaching Songs - What Words Mean to Us and How We Emotionally Connect With Them

If the song was a Dance

Circle Improvisation - How we embody creativity as a tribe 

Movement, breath, rhythm, pulse, sentient motion, sound, and voice practices will create a heartfelt space where mind forms and borders are not leaders anymore, where freedom of expression is unconditional.

We will guide you on how to be happy to be seen, to be heard and to be free to express your self through voice and movement, harmonizing body, mind, and soul so you can embody your true loving nature.

Our circle will support you to be ridiculously creative, to express your self in ways you can never imagine, to find the courage to “fail” and create again and again and again until you are happy and free because you will feel this amazing trust to the beautiful unknown you! 

Nutrition

Our vegetarian nutrition will follow the philosophy of self-sufficiency and sustainability, with fresh vegetables and fruits from the garden of Re-green, cultivated with love and care. Simple Greek tastes will offer you pure, therapeutic and delicious meals. An experience to remember on Sunday afternoon- the garden –stone oven – Pizza Party with garnishes of your choice.
