Dancing With Life

Coaches Liz Foster and Tracy Seed


Our intention was to lead a transformational personal development week through a blend of mind, heart and body processes and this is exactly what we did with 14 participants from UK, Greece, Spain, Italy and Denmark last week at Kalikalos, a holistic centre situated in the Pelion mountains. 


Through our shadows and NVC (the work of Marshall Rosenberg) we explored and transformed the patterns that prevent us from fully meeting our needs in love and life. In Biodanza sessions we embraced our uniqueness and stepped into the fullness of our personal power.


Leading this week-long programme was a true joy and an honour.  It was an ongoing process, where we were dynamically meeting the needs of the group and at the same time developing our own working relationship together.


At the end of the week we were happy to hear that the participants had enjoyed rest, relaxation, wonderful food, sea, sunshine and mountain air as well as many learnings that came from within themselves and that they will take back to their lives at home.


This is what a few of our participants said when we asked them to answer these two questions:


What has been the main learning for you ?
“The realisation that I rejected love because it felt too painful”
“Presence keeping in a loving and happy state”
“Letting go moving into a new life and things that were /are already in place but that I now have fresh confidence and self possessed energy to stride forward with. I feel healthily detached from negative influences at home”


How has this programme benefitted your overall sense of wellbeing?
“It opened my heart”
“The importance of focussing on the present and being truly present with other people. Feeling alive and connected”
“Spiritually my body and mind worked together. My mind learnt how to let go I was more patent with myself throughout the process”.
“Feeling confident with people more willing to open and identify connections with others. I feel more socially and emotionally intelligent”.
“Improved wellbeing in all areas – socially emotionally physically intellectually, mentally...”


There were many more comments from our participants and video footage too, which we plan to post when we return to UK. If this is a programme that you are thinking that you might like to attend sometime, do please contact us directly mail@tracyseedassociates.co.uk or info@lizfostercoaching.com

The Kalikalos programmes are a great opportunity to combine a holiday with personal development in a idyllic setting with other like-minded people. The centre is located in the mountains of Pelion, 25 miles East of Volos, Greece's sixth largest city. The ancient Greeks believed that the Centaurs roamed the mountain, and miraculous events occurred. It seems that this is still the case!
