What is included in my booking?

Bookings include local transportation (shuttle to and from the workshop location to Athens), workshop materials, shared accommodations, meals prior and meals after the workshop.

What do I need to know to start planning my travel?

We are asking participants to arrive the day before the first day of their workshop in Athens. We highly suggest that if you are traveling from afar, you should arrive a few days earlier to adjust to the local time.

A shuttle will be arranged at 9:30AM to go to the workshop location on the first day of the workshop.

Departure will be scheduled on the last day of the workshop. The shuttle will arrive at Athens International Airport around 3PM and back at Syntagma Square at around 4PM.

What should I bring?

We will issue a specific list of recommended items to pack based on the season of the workshop.

Will participants be fasting the entire time?

Fasting will start the day after the first day of the workshop and we will break the fast the day before the last day of the workshop. During the workshop, participants will have herbal tea and honey available.

Will Marina be leading the workshops herself?

Marina no longer leads the workshops, however, they will be facilitated by artists who have been trained by her.

I have a medical condition or regular medication that prevents me from fasting. Can I still take part in the workshop?

Yes! Please be in touch with us about this at booking@mai.art

Is there any financial support available?

We are able to provide financial scholarships for artists with a performance practice. For consideration, please submit a portfolio and artistic CV to booking@mai.art.
