MINDFULNESS AND INTUITIVE ARCHERY

This unique seminar teaches a combination of intuitive archery and mindfulness.

While using a bow and arrow can be a meditation that connects the outer and inner worlds, the teaching of mindfulness supports you in accepting things as they are.

In the beautiful landscape of southern Pelion, we, Kornelius Hentschel and Peter Riedl, are organizing the seminar “Mindfulness and Intuitive Archery”.

Embedded in the sun, the sea, the wind rustling the olive trees and the chirping of the cicadas.
Warmth that envelops you, and then only sound, feeling and mindful perception of the world from the centre.
The movement of archery develops from this mindfulness, a kind of standing meditation.
I have my place, I am rooted and can unfold and let go through personal responsibility and self-efficacy. This has an external effect through the shot, which slides away from me, as it were, like the snow sliding down from the cedar branch.

Tension and relaxation, acceptance of myself as an ACTUAL state and joy in my heart.
To perceive the world, myself, as it is, without judgement, silence of thought.

Archery is also an immersion in the archetypal world of archetypal images, a confrontation with my inner images and powers.
To entrust myself to Artemis, the goddess of hunting, the forest and birth, courageously and responsibly.
And to return again and again to the place of meditation in order to practise mindfulness.

This seminar will be led by Kornelius Hentschel, therapeutic archery trainer, and Peter Riedl, mindfulness teacher.
For one week we will focus on mindfulness training and intuitive archery.
Peter Riedl will teach us mindfulness every day.

This seminar is aimed at beginners; advanced archers are also welcome.

The first few days are spent learning archery and then devoting ourselves entirely to intuitive movement.
In the second half of the week we will learn to build our own personal arrow, which we will then shoot into the sea with all our wishes in a ritual and a special shot.

RHYTHM AND REMBETIKO

Travel with us into the world of Greek sounds

A journey through Greek music history awaits you. We fly over the Greek rhythms, dance Sirtaki (which isn’t actually called that) and sing with Eastern sounds.

We’ll take you into our world in southern Pelion for a week.

You learn:

To sing greek songs

Why 90% of all Greek songs are in a minor key

What is the background of eastern sounds

How the Rembetiko came about

Why Sirtaki doesn’t even exist

The 4 most important dances that will get you ready for every Greek festival

And the most important:

Your soul flies with us into the freedom of the Greek mentality. She experiences the sweetness of melancholic music and immerses herself in a world where there are no time limits. No train timetables, no expectations and where performance is a foreign word.

South Pelion is one of the few places in Greece that has remained rustic and mass tourism has not yet taken hold. People here have time to talk and cook. In Greek mythology, it was the place where the Greek gods vacationed and where the centaurs chased after beautiful young girls.

Why this retreat?

Our workshop is a balanced mix of music, rhythm, history, dance and magic.

Let yourself be enchanted for a week and relax your body, mind and soul.
