Description
Hello everyone!
This is Yorgos & Kyveli, two dance artists and movement educators from Greece who envisioned a wooded piece of land as a meeting place for moving and sensing experiences. The concept of the place arose from a deep need to reconnect with nature and to meet a community of similar interests and quests. The idea was conceived in October 2021 when there was nothing but trees on the land and since then we have continuously been creating our nest, an eco-art space in the mountains of Lefkada island -which is Kyveli's village. Our vision is to create a meeting point for people and practices that value nature, honor sensorial experiences, welcome diverse corporealities, and dare to reflect through others. We mostly focus on dance/movement education, research, and creation through the prism of embodiment and very much inspired and in dialogue with permaculture, engaging in an active dialogue with the sociopolitical landscape of everyday life. Lately we have just started learning and being interested in eco-building too. Our deepest desire is to grow slowly yet firmly, like a cypress tree, rooting deeply in a sustainable approach that respects and nourishes otherness. We aspire to be part of a ‘forest-like’, broader ecosystem, alongside like-minded individuals and their trajectories.
Looking forward to meeting you!

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
• A wonderful stay immersed in nature, where you can wake up to the sounds of the forest, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and experience the peaceful rhythm of village life. Surrounded by lush landscapes, cypress trees, olive groves, and breathtaking views, this setting offers the perfect space to unwind, reconnect with yourself, and embrace a slower, more mindful way of living.
• Participate in local cultural events, experiencing traditional customs, music, and more.
• Learn more about our project and why we believe in and promote dance as a practice of embodiment.
• Small trips around the island, meet interesting people, participate in cultural events, and explore this magnificent place. Visit nearby beaches, relax in the village, hike to the waterfall (the area offers a number of paths to explore surrounded by lush green nature), explore nearby villages, and more. A great sightseeing nearby you can go on foot is the famous waterfalls of Nidri. There you can have a cold bath, or just enjoy the sound of falling water during spring/fall.
• Exchange recipe books ! You will leave our space having learned how to cook delicious Greek and Mediterranean recipes.
We can ensure a friendly and respectful environment, in a really beautiful village in Greece, and lots of creative energy vibes!
About the village:
Neohori is a mountain village (300m) of Lefkada, about 5km from Nidri. Serenity and impressive view as well as absence of shops are distinguishing features of the village. Instead, there is plenty of green, four springs and a number of paths which are taken care of by the village community every year. This village was once abandoned by the locals, when they gradually began to approach the coastal areas. Years later, around the early 80's, it was rediscovered by people looking for a quiet place close to nature. Somehow it started to attract hippies, artists, people from different parts of the world and finally a community was created. Today only a few of the families that first settled there remain in the village, but new ones have come, creating a mixture of people and cultures. In recent years, Cultural Association has been activated and the old school of the village has been renovated, where various activities take place, such as exhibitions, presentations, film screenings, festivals, seminars, etc. Especially in the summer months the village hosts a lot of people from different parts of the world! We hope that our art space will bring life to our village and become a meeting point for artists, educators and practitioners from all over the world!
