RIO ABIERTO GREECE
Expressive Movement- Body-Mind Therapy for a harmonious human development
RIO ABIERTO SYSTEM
Rio abierto is an exciting practice that combines the therapeutic (body-mind) approach, creativity (expressivity - dance) and the spiritual (transpersonal) approach, bringing us in touch with our Essence, our qualities, our unique beauty and interconnection as human beings. Rio abierto integrates expressive movement practices, music, massage, chakra balancing through dance and body -mind work.
Rio abierto means Open river in Spanish. it is a metaphor that invites us to open up to the Flow of Life in a joyful and natural way. Created in 1966 in Argentina by the psychologist Maria Adela Palcos, Rio abierto has been quickly spread around many countries around the world such as Spain, Italy, Israel, Brazil, Russia etc with very successful applications in the education, the arts, communication and health care.
EXPRESSIVE MOVEMENT RIO ABIERTO
Our work is based on free and guided movement, beautiful music, work on expressivity, contact, flow and whatever emerges as an individual and collective expression in the present moment.The movement is called expressive, because it is very important to release unexpressed or partially expressed contents that are locked inside our body in form of tensions, energetic and emotional blockages. In a space of safety and acceptance of our expression, we move the parts of our Self that want to be seen, we listen to our heart and we let ourselves delve into beautiful interactions with others, unfolding our Essence and opening up to new qualities we wish to attract and manifest into our lives. In this way, our body becomes a source of vitality, pleasure, love, interaction, intuition and inspiration.

ACTIVITIES
Expressive Movement Classes
A regular weekly practice of 1 and ½ hour, suitable for every age and level of experience in movement / dance.
In the classes of expressive movement we reach a healthier balance between our body, our mind, our emotions, our heart and our creative imagination, connecting our physicality to our humanity and spirit. We become more present, loving and joyful in our everyday lives.
Massage sessions - Rio Abierto method.
Rio abierto has developed its own massage technique, that is complementary to the expressive movement classes. The method works at a more direct and deep level with and on the body, through touch and massage across the lines of our energy centers, so as to activate the free flow of energy through our body and release emotional and physical blockages.
Trabajo sobre Si (Work with the Self)
group & individual sessions
Group sessions of apx 3 hours, held monthly/ bimontly, where we dedicate more time to deepen the Rio abierto work and the sharing of the participants experience.
Individual sessions last apx one hour and are suited to needs of the person.
