Argo is a creative residency program and project space in Athens, Greece. We are open to visual artists, writers, performers, musicians, scholars, and any other creative discipline. Each residency includes accommodation, studio space, research support, and participation in a creative community.
Over the course of 10 days, Gwen will guide students to reflect on big questions of our times themed around ecopsychology. Through journaling, dialoguing, meditation, and movement, students will learn to tap into the Earth and their bodies. Gwen will provide gentle, encouraging guidance to help students orient and explore in a safe container. Throughout the workshop, students will question: What does it mean to grapple with climate change? What are specific ways to grapple with it?
