"The Dance of Authenticity"
Greetings Dear Dancer!
You have arrived where your feet are about to come alive. We are delighted that you have found your way to our sanctuary of movement, music and mind-bending journeys. We welcome you!
So what is The Movement Gathering all about?
It's a grounded, playful and inspiring adventure of somatic exploration. Each Spring, we gather in Greece to reconnect - with our body and breath, with nature and our family and friends. Focusing on one particular energetic center, these "dances of discovery" use exercises, techniques and activities that help awaken, activate and celebrate the body.
To many, it feels like a a powerful yet light-hearted initiation, a week of depth and meaning, paired with beautiful scenery, healthy food, soulful connections and amazing music.
"Dancing, singing, storytelling, and silence are the four universal healing salves."
- Gabrielle Roth
But what makes this gathering truly special is the inspiring ensemble of skilled artists and group leaders who work together as a united team to co-facilitate this hero's journey from start to finish. Their mission? To help you reignite the flame within and restore the connection to your beautiful body, its vitality and its natural creativity.
Dynamic, full of passion and wisdom, each one puts their heart in their art, and offers their gifts to you. But when they come together in improvisational collaboration, that is when the magic truly happens and all of us get to enjoy moments of unforgettable inspiration together.
Ultimately, people come to us because they want to FEEL something, a quality of expansion, in their body yes, but also in their soul. We create a mood that makes one feel the moment fully, totally. In an atmosphere that feels enchanting, we dance and sing and remember what it feels like to be whole and happy. fully awake and alive.
Participants are often awed by the quality of the offerings and the kind-hearted authenticity of the people gathered. They love the down to earth nature of the experience, and the breathtaking environment in which we explore and express.
This is your invitation to a week of nourishment on every level.
This is your opportunity to step into a more vibrant life.
Our feet love to play and pray with the earth. They long to climb trees and dance on grass, to walk on sandy shores and swim in the sea.
They yearn to FEEL!
"Dearest {TMG} Team,
I wanted to thank you for the most moving and life changing week. I was excited and nervous to join the movement gathering for the first time but it was more than I could ever have imagined. I have met so many wonderful people who were strangers at the beginning of the week but with who I now have a deep and loving bond. I wanted to express my deepest gratitude to the whole team for creating such a magical event"...

How does it all work?
Dances of Discovery
For the past 6 years, we have been working our way up the "Chakra Tree", dedicating a dance of discovery to each one, starting at the Root. Here is where we have come from:
2022 A Celebration of the Body (All Chakras)
2023 The Dance of Vitality (The Root Chakra)
2024 The Dance of Polarity (The Sacral Chakra)
2025 The Dance of Radiance (The Solar Chakra)
2026 The Dance of Presence (The Heart Chakra)
Now entering our 6th edition of The Movement Gathering, we are about to pass through another powerful stage with enormous potential:
2027 The Dance of Authenticity (Throat Chakra)
**Please Note: For us, Chakras are simply energy centers, holding various archetypes and serving as a clear and focused guidance. Our use of the term is purely practical and pragmatic.
Our next odyssey is about Living Your Truth. It will be a quest to unblock, unlock and unleash your authenticity through dance, movement, and vocal activation. There will be a big focus on non verbal communication - learning the language of the body, and how to speak with more than words.
"If you want to give birth to your true self, you are going to have to dig deep down into that body of yours and let your soul howl." - Gabrielle Roth
When we awaken the body and begin to move with aligned action, and pair it with our authentic voice, something amazing happens to us - we become unstoppable. We move through the world with courage and confidence, with a newfound life. Life itself becomes a dance, a joyful flow.
Then we don't need to dance like no one is watching. We simply dance -
whether they watch or not.
Join us for a playful week of truth seeking through somatic authenticity. A quest to rediscover the joy of genuine and honest living.
"The privilege of a lifetime, is to become who you truly are."
- Carl Jung

Let's Pause for a Moment...
(And walk you through a typical day at the Movement Gathering)
You wake up on the greenest island in Greece...
... Life is already dancing all around you on this musical island in the Mediterranean. Your day begins with the sound of waves, birdsong, cicadas and gentle music supporting your morning class, which is in the middle of a beautiful olive grove, overlooking the Ionian Sea.
After you enjoy a healthy breakfast with a group of like-minded people coming from all over the world, before moving into Greece's most gorgeous dance hall for a movement workshop, led by an amazing team of inspiring facilitators, guiding you to activate your body and align your energy.
You will have a chance to explore many different forms of embodiment, energy work and creative play. And after you have worked up a good sweat, we will enjoy an hour of Sound Healing to help us integrate and rest, before having another abundant meal with friends.
Afternoons are (mostly) free so you can integrate as you wish - take a dip in the refreshing sea, bask in the sun, receive a massage, explore the beautiful coast, mingle with new friends, or simply rest in the Greek way - with a silent Siesta. Dinners are also recommended by one of the many seaside restaurants, another chance to share some local cuisine with new and old friends.
After dinner we continue our journey at the Buddha Hall with some joyful and deeply moving activities to celebrate our body, this amazing life, and our wonderful community.
Congratulations on a day well lived!
"Happiness lies not in the pleasure, but in the Joy."
OUR VENUE
The Corfu Buddha Hall
"An Exquisite Retreat Requires A Special Location"
If there is one thing that everyone can agree on - The Buddha Hall is AMAZING. One of Europe's premier retreat centers. the BH sits alone on a mountain top blanketed with olive and cypress trees, offering not only incredible views of peaks and blue seas, but delicious food, peaceful gardens. and not one but two wonderful group rooms to play in.
It's the kind of place that is made for making magic!
Side Note - while the Buddha Hall easily fits 100+ people, we are limiting our group size to about 40 people, so that we can enjoy lots of space to fly around the dance floor!
OUR LOCATION
Corfu - Land of Legend & Myth
"The perfect getaway for a purposeful holiday"
All of this happens in the mythical north-west of Corfu at Arillas Beach, one of the worlds fastest growing destinations for personal development. And it will not take long for you to see why - the place is magnetic and the energy is tangible.
Clean, beautiful beaches, a promenade full of great cafes and restaurants, and a relaxed, friendly vibe that seduces visitors to come back again and again. Many come for a week but never leave!

See you in Corfu next May
for a special celebration of life!
While deep healing and transformation is always a natural and delightful benefit of our journeys, it is not our goal. Our intention is to create the right conditions for authenticity and inspiration to thrive, and at that, we have gotten very good!
Not as rigid as most retreats, not as fickle as most festivals, we will find our flow somewhere in the rhythmic middle. In the end, what we seek is to find a balance between movement and stillness, sound and silence, deep relaxation and playful engagement. To enjoy simple being, sparks of creativity, the joys of friendship and community, and a sense of purpose and meaning.
We look forward to celebrating some beautiful Spring days on the island we all love so much. Singing, dancing, connecting, enjoying sunsets, starry skies, and amazing food are all predictable. But the real treasures will come from the spontaneous magic we will experience together.
See you soon in Corfu!!
