Join us for an immersive workshop dedicated to self-love and the archetype of the goddess Aphrodite.

We’re so excited to bring a guest teacher on for this very special workshop dedicated to one of our favorite topics: agapi and self-love. Apostolia Papadamaki will guide use as we explore self-love and agape through embodiment practices, breathwork, guided movement, writing, and exploration of the Aphrodite. We’ll explore the Platonic idea of remembrance: you’ll walk away from this digital journey feeling grounded and inspired.

It’s time to remember who you are, join us.

*This workshop will take place on Zoom. We’ll send a link the morning of the workshop. It will be recorded in the event you cannot make it live!

About Apostolia Papamaki: Born in Thessaloniki - raised in Alexandroupolis, Greece, Apostolia as a child dreamed to become a choreographer. Since there was no dance school at that moment in Alexandroupolis, Apostolia turned into gymnastics, music and nature. She got a B.A in Physical Education and Sports with honors and entered the State School of Dance in Athens at the age of 21 without any previous dance experience as a unique talent in choreography. She got her dance-choreography diploma with honors and won the 1st prize at the Rallou Manou choreography competition. Under scholarships from the A. Onassis foundation and the Goulanris foundation she studied new dance techniques and choreography for 4 years in New York (Movement Research).

Since then Apostolia has been directing large scale projects (12th Paralympic games opening ceremony, Athens 2004, Drops of Breath Underwater Dance Performance) but also small scale-personal projects (Uninhabited – Delos 2012) continuously researching and creating, collaborating with philosophers, scientists, other artists and organizations, directing festivals, creating community projects, working with and without disabilities, training volunteers, giving workshops, seminars, lectures and believes that everybody can express themselves through ART.

An ongoing life learner, Apostolia studied Hatha Yoga at Jivamukti Center –New York and Alexander Technique with Shelley Shenter. Being a lover of arts and movement she also studied Shamanic Practices, Physical Theater, Ai ki Do, Scuba Diving, Japanese Tea Ceremony, Reiki, Craniosacral Therapy and many more, collaborating with inspiring artists, musicians, and teachers in many lands.

Endowed with profound spiritual insight and being thankful to life, Apostolia founded The Happiness Retreat to share her knowledge,experience and joy with other beautiful souls.

After 20 years of ongoing studies and research on movement Apostolia, founded Biomatic Anatomy method, an holistic approach to mindfull movement & breath that is incorporated to all her teachings. She believes that everybody is a potential artist, everybody can find fulfillment through movement, every body can be a healer of his shelf. In her methods there are no boundaries of age, body structure, nationality, identity.

Currently she is choreographing for Theatre, Opera and Films, teaching Impulse Dance & Biomatic Anatomy as well as designing tailor-made corporate and wellness events for foundations and organisations worldwide.
