[eutopiazante]

In this workshop we will explore two fundamental movements in our lives as human beings. The outer movements of expression & connection and the inner flow of emotions & life-energy. This invitation to allow your being to move and express itself naturally can bring forth a sense of wellbeing and deep inner peace that is independent from all outer circumstances. This is Radical Freedom! Radical Honesty is a way of expressing yourself fully, showing up more authentically and thereby experiencing profound aliveness and a deeper sense of connection. Radical Aliveness is the journey to surrendering to the natural flow and expression of your body and heart. Allowing and freeing your breath and emotions can lead to the experience of a deep inner sense of freedom and peace. Date & Time Saturday 9th of October - 10:00 - 19:00 Location Seaside villa in Zakynthos Schedule: * 10:00 - 13:30: Radical Honesty * 13:30 - 14:30: Lunch Break * 14:30 - 18:00: Radiant Aliveness * 18:30 - 19:00: Mini-Concert by Sean * 19:00+ : Chillout together Cost 40–80€ (depending on your budget) Optionally you can also only come to the first part of the workshop (Radical Honesty) and then decide if you want to stay for the second half of the day. What to bring? Comfortable clothes and an openness for experimentation and exploration. Radical Honesty: In the first half of the day we will practice Radical Honesty, a way of expressing yourself more fully, showing up more authentically and thereby experiencing profound aliveness and a deeper sense of connection. Radical Honesty is an opportunity to show up exactly as you are and meet people who are doing the same. You can try out what it feels like to show a little more of yourself in a safe setting. We’ll do lots of practical exercises about noticing what’s going on inside you right now and sharing it. Radical Honesty is just right for you if you want to learn to… * be yourself in a supportive environment. * ask for what you want. * create deeper connection and intimacy in your relationships. * stress yourself less with constant worries and thought loops. * let go of shame, fear and the need for approval. * deal honestly with conflict and refrain from blame and bossiness. Radical Honesty is not for you if you…. * don’t want to tell the truth * want to stay in your comfort zone all the time * don’t like the idea of any of the participants raising their voices or crying * would rather change others than yourself Radiant Aliveness: In the second half of the day we will engage in an inner work called Radiant Aliveness. This includes bodily practices, meditation and inner inquiry to allow your natural being to express itself. When you allow your body, breath, emotions and all other inner movements to flow naturally, you will feel more alive. Once your being can express itself naturally, your mind can surrender and come to rest. This opens up the experience of a deep inner peace and freedom. Experiencing and resting in this inner stillness can facilitate profound inner changes and shifts that will resonate up to the surface, the part of being that we call our person, our body and our “everyday life”. We will be doing meditations that are suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. There will be guided meditation as well as exercises that facilitate movement, breathing and voice to release emotions. And we will do CoMeditation, a powerful form of partner inquiry. Radiant Aliveness is just right for you if you want to learn to… * release (and relax) your body and breath. * allow your emotions to flow and express themselves naturally. * feel more aliveness and energy in your body. * experience deep stillness within. * open your heart and feel inner fullness. * experience inner freedom, independent from outer circumstances. Radiant Aliveness is not for you if you… * don’t like to feel and move your body. * don’t like to breathe and release your voice. * know all there is to meditation and are not open to learning something new. * are a Zombie and prefer to stay this way… Questions?

Testimonials: “Sean showed me the doorway into an incredible energetic shift, helping me realize the healing power of the body-mind if you are in the right conditions. Sean sensitively facilitated these conditions. I felt like we were transmuting my different psychological parts into healing energy, a form of spiritual alchemy, and I felt radically alive during and after the experience.” - Alex N., London “I’m exploring meditation and body awareness since 22 years, and am passionately teaching body awareness, and this is the first time I fully enjoyed a recorded guided meditation. No inner comments to it, no “this could be done better” – just enjoying allowing myself to be guided, diving into body awareness and blissfully emerging anew.” - Klara W., Vienna

Athens tackles heat and pollution with pocket-sized parks

Deborah Kyvrikosaios

11.03.2021

Tucked between rows of apartment blocks on an Athens street, a strip of green with a few trees, some plants and a bench offers a breathing space in the surrounding crush of concrete.

The Greek capital has started creating “pocket parks”, transforming small plots once ridden with garbage and weeds, in a bid to tackle its chronic pollution.

“It’s about creating green spaces, lowering the temperatures, giving quality of life and creating new reference points inside the city,” Athens Mayor Kostas Bakoyannis said.

The city had a population explosion in the decades after World War Two when migration from rural areas fuelled uncontrolled building.

The concept of “antiparochi” – owners exchanging land plots for apartments – became widespread.

Detached houses were replaced by rows of blocks. With more people came more cars and smog, in a city where temperatures can top 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) during a heatwave.

“Trees were cut down, houses were built, residential areas were created, but at the same time, traffic congestion problems increased,” said Christos Zerefos, head of the Athens Academy Research Centre for Atmospheric Physics and Climatology.

Over the decades, the capital tried several measures to curb traffic pollution, which also damages ancient monuments. The 2004 Olympics brought new highways to bypass central streets, a subway and the airport’s move out of the city.

But cradled by mountains, Athens can be stifling during heatwaves when no northern trade winds are blowing and pollutants are trapped in the urban basin.

Climate change will only make things worse, scientists say.

Now the city is closing traffic lanes and transforming them into bike routes, pedestrian walks and small areas of greenery – all in a bid to cut down on vehicles, which account for 70% of greenhouse gas emissions.

The pocket parks are also doing their bit. “It lets us breathe a bit, because the way we are here … we are suffocating,” said 65-year-old Dimitra from the densely populated neighborhood of Kypseli.

Fountains, which lower temperatures and improve air quality, are also being repaired.

The city’s mayor, Bakoyannis, said he took advantage of the lockdown in March when traffic pollution fell by as much as 50%, to push the project forward.

“The time of cars has passed. Now the challenge is to find a new balance,” he said. [Reuters]
