On Wednesday, 18 February, just prior to the Carnival Milonga Tango Party, Pavlos Mavromatis, founder of Mavromatis Institute | Mi, delivered a highly successful one-hour online seminar introducing his integrative method, Gestaltango.
The seminar was designed to advance psychoeducation, demonstrate innovative applications of Educational Technology (EdTech), and position embodied learning as a meaningful component of contemporary psychotherapeutic and organizational development practices.
