Chorosophy is an academy founded by Arsinoe Lilly Karadima, dedicated to the revival of sacred dance inspired by ancient Greek philosophy, myth, and ritual. It offers workshops, retreats, and seminars focused on movement as an embodied spiritual and artistic practice.

No prior dance training is required. Chorosophy welcomes all movement backgrounds and all ages. Whether you are a dancer, performer, healer, or simply someone seeking a deeper connection with your body and soul, you are warmly invited.

Chorosophy explores movement through a fusion of archaic ritual dance, contemporary somatic practices, mythic archetypes, and poetic improvisation. It is not focused on traditional technique or performance but on embodied awareness, symbolic gesture, and inner experience.

Chorosophy is not affiliated with any religion.
It is a sacred and philosophical approach to movement inspired by ancient Hellenic culture, temple traditions, and the universal human need for meaning, connection, and ritual.

While many of its dances, ritual gestures, and symbols draw inspiration from ancient Greek religion and mythology, Chorosophy does not represent or promote a religion, nor does it function as a religious cult.

Instead, it explores dance as a living art form that reconnects participants with timeless qualities of the human spirit: balance, vitality, celebration, and harmony.

Chorosophy offers an inclusive practice, open to people of all ages and backgrounds, who wish to experience movement not only as physical training but as a pathway to artistic, cultural, and personal growth.

Workshops and retreats take place in Greece and abroad, in both urban and natural settings. Some are held in movement studios, while others take place in historical, open-air, or sacred sites aligned with the spirit of the work.

Upcoming locations and dates are shared on the website, newsletter, and social media.
