Bambos Charles Demetriou:

Throughout my life, I've been driven by a deep hunger for connection, a longing that began when I was just eight years old.

As a child, I was bullied both at school and at home, with no safe place to turn. I was confused and exhausted, trying to make sense of a world that felt hostile and unloving.
All I craved was love, acceptance, and care. Perhaps these things were there, but the overwhelming pain blinded me to them.

By the time I reached fifteen, the weight of my experiences led me down a dark path. I sought escape through drugs, alcohol, and self-destructive behaviors. Looking back now, I see that what I was truly searching for was connection—the pure, fundamental kind that anchors us in our humanity.

For me, true connection is a blend of deep listening, curiosity, and humility. It's about tuning into and being with what arises from within and allowing that to guide me.

I’m passionate about exploring how we can stay connected to our inner aliveness, letting it lead us into a more meaningful and fulfilling experience of life.

When I think of Cyprus, I’m reminded of both Earth and Fire. One of the things I love most about it is that you're just a 30-minute drive away from either the beach or the mountains. Personally, I find peace spending time at the waterfalls, especially in winter. It can get pretty cold, a beautiful experience of the contrasts. Looking forward going there as a group!

Although Cyprus is European, I love how it still holds onto its traditions and rawness. The environment can be beautiful yet extreme.

Winters here can be surprisingly warm, yet sometimes even colder than in the Netherlands. You can truly experience a storm in its full intensity, and on clear nights, the stars are breathtaking.

And when it’s hot, the sun is relentless. The word "tranquility" comes to mind when I think about the raw nature of this place.

Agamemnon:

At least an hour per day I will guide us through slow movements, breathing and stillness. Stop the mind and thoughts, let the Qi flow harmoniously and heal us.

Practising Qigong I get a feeling that the time stops, that I am free and everything is ok! It's important the mindset we have in every movement and the intention we hold in ourselves.

Of course after each session we will feel more happy, harmonious, centered and grateful!

A great way to help us process things that come up.

Anna Lefkati:

When I first started my EFT sessions I had no idea what to expect. I was in an abusive relationship that triggered all my childhood trauma and re-traumatised me causing me to have panic attacks, depression, suicidal thoughts and health problems.

So.. There was a lot that I hadn’t processed properly in my life at that time.

EFT has helped me to become aware of and process my emotions and change patterns.

It also awakened emotions that I've supressed all my life, the biggest one being anger.

That anger anchored me, grounded me and nudged me to finally get out of that relationship and remember my worth.

I now use EFT almost daily, whenever I need it. It mainly helps me on an emotional level and to reduce stress.

The technique brings a calming and relaxing effect, both in mind and body. Looking forward to open this realm with the group.

Guido Soeteman:

Since a child I am fascinated about movement, first physically. After a knee injury I started exploring the more subtle dimensions.

Yoga and other forms of energetic work came to my awareness mainly because of my grandmother.

As my vocation it's my calling to bring the fun back in fitness.

Bring the creative process back to it's origin, a way of expressing ourselves regardless of what 'the world' thinks.

Love to bring some less explored dimensions of training to this deepdive, it's about the different pillars of training. Speed, mobility, balance and coordination. Of course there's layers within strength and conditioning as well.

Depending on the interest we can go deeper with each individual during the Deepdive.

Looking forward to diving deeper in ourselves and our way of relating to each other.

4 days of vitamin sea, connection and a deeper relation with our own body, mind and energy.
