A NOTE FOR ALL:
Learning an intense and complicated integration of practices over a month is never enough. Each participant is also responsible for their personal research and development and deeper understanding of the practice for being able to share, transmit and teach SOMATIC practices in the best possible way. Unity Space and Vangelis Legakis will be occasionally invite participants who have good standards in the somatic practice to teach in festivals and projects. Eventually, Van and Unity Space, aim to create a strong team of teachers to spread Somatic and Healing Practices to different studios, academies, universities, institutions as well as in community centers to open the practice to all people from diverse professional backgrounds.
