What changes when someone is interested in you, rather than in your problem?

We can become very good at describing what isn't working: the relationship that troubles us, the decision we cannot make, the way we react that we wish we could change. We can also become very busy with the problems of the world and feel helpless, sometimes even hopeless.

But what happens when we expand our attention and recognize that every problem, difficulty, or challenge is also connected to our care and our heart?

What if, instead of focusing only on what isn't working, we become curious about why it matters so much to us? What if we give space to our emotions without immediately searching for solutions?
In Pantarei, we often do exactly that. We trust the experience and give it space.

And one of the beautiful and sometimes surprising things that can happen is that even when the problem doesn't disappear, it becomes part of something much bigger and more interesting: who we are, what we care about, and the path we are creating in this world.

What is your experience of doing that?

How does a relationship with a school begin?

Recently, we updated the application form for people interested in studying with us. As with many changes we make at our school, what began as a practical task soon led us into a much deeper conversation: What do we actually want this form to create?

We realized that an application is not simply a form to complete; it is one of the first moments in the relationship we build with our future students.

It has been ten years since the first Pantarei Approach Practitioner Training began. We are still in contact with many of our alumni from over the years, and we have seen how the relationships that begin during the training continue to develop long after it ends. We wanted our new application form to reflect that.

For you, it is an invitation to consider:
Why am I interested in this path?
What has brought me here?
What am I hoping to learn or bring into my life?

For us, it is an opportunity to meet the person behind the application and begin to understand what draws you to the Pantarei Approach.

Most relationships begin this way. We become curious. We ask questions about where we have come from, where we are now, and what might become possible in the future.

If you are interested in studying with us, we warmly invite you to complete our new application form. We hope that answering these questions offers a meaningful opportunity to reflect on whether this training is your next step.

From there, we can begin to get to know one another.

Coming back from the summer mood to all that life asks of you?
We invite you to take a few minutes to reconnect with yourself, with your heart, and with what is asking for your attention.

Begin by standing.

Place your hands on your lower rib cage and breathe into them.

Continue by stretching your arms out to the sides as you inhale.

As you exhale, bring your hands toward each other.

Move your shoulders in circular motions, first backward and then forward.

When you are ready, place your hands on the center of your chest. Notice the physical conversation between your hands and your chest. Your chest moves as you breathe, and your hands move with it.

Notice: How does your chest area feel physically? Is it open, closed, heavy, spacious, warm, tense, or something else?
Write down: If your chest area could speak, what would it ask of you? What would it tell you?

Continue breathing and let yourself listen to the message from your heart.

There is no need to change anything. Give space to what is already there and stay with the experience for the next few minutes.

When you are ready, return to whatever life asks of you. Notice whether this physical listening has affected your mood, energy, or concentration.

If you feel like sharing, tell us in the comments how this exercise was for you.

A few days ago, we asked the practitioners in the third year of our Advanced Training:

What made you decide to study with us?

Some have been with us for almost ten years. Others began their journey three years ago. There wasn't one common answer. Everyone arrived for different reasons. Yet, reading their stories, we were reminded that we often sense something long before we can explain it.

Here are their answers:

Looking for trust

I first came as a client, hoping to regain trust after difficult experiences. Again and again, I was reminded of who I am. Feeling that my practitioners trusted in me helped me trust myself again. Studying the Pantarei Approach became both a personal and a professional journey.

One session changed everything

My first session touched my lonely heart so deeply that I immediately knew I wanted to offer this experience to others. I felt accompanied, challenged, and loved, and I knew this was what I wanted to bring into the world.

After losing my father

I felt overwhelmed, exhausted, disconnected from my body, and unsure of my future. During my first Pantarei session, I felt deeply heard and could finally breathe again. Two months later, I joined the training. From the first introduction, I knew I had found where I belonged.

Curiosity led me

I had always wanted to work with people. Coming from dance and coaching, I was fascinated by the human body’s complexity. The introductory meeting simply felt right. My "yes" came from experience rather than thought, and that instinct has never let me down.

Finding myself again

As my children were growing up, I wanted to create space for myself. One Pantarei session helped me reconnect with my own strength, and I knew I wanted to learn how to help others reconnect with theirs. I have never regretted saying yes.

When life fell apart

When death suddenly took my beloved from me, words were no longer enough. My intuition led me to a Pantarei session, and later to the training. What began as a way back to myself became a calling that still fills my heart with purpose, joy, and gratitude.

Looking for more than a massage

I wanted to work with touch, but I was searching for something deeper than massage. I longed for a way to meet the whole person without becoming part of a medical system that didn't feel right for me. Pantarei was exactly the combination I had been looking for.

A different way of navigating life

After my first Pantarei session, it felt as though the threads of my life suddenly connected. I joined the training to support my own healing and discovered a completely new way of meeting both myself and other people.

On July 7 at 5 PM, Vered will host a free online introductory meeting about our Practitioner Pantarei Approach Training Program. If you are curious about becoming a practitioner, she would love to welcome you.

I love words. Perhaps that is why I continue to be surprised by the depth of conversations that can happen without them.

For more than thirty years, I have worked with people through touch, and wherever I go, I am reminded that there is a language we all share. A language where our hands communicate, our attention listens, and connection is created long before we find the right words.

This is one of the foundations of the Pantarei Approach.

If you are curious about becoming a practitioner, I would love to invite you to a free online introductory meeting about our Practitioner Training Program.

I love words. Perhaps that is why I continue to be surprised by the depth of conversations that can happen without them.

The people in the neighborhood where I live in Athens speak very little English, and my Greek, especially during the first days of each visit, is still very limited. Yet, conversations take place.

Last week, I went to my neighborhood café. The older man with kind eyes looked at me and asked, "Kala?" Are you well? There was a whole world in that single word.

A little later, the woman who brought me my coffee asked, "Mama kala?" Is your mother well? Once again, in those two words, there was a complete conversation. She remembered that my mother had been in the hospital. She cared. I was home.

For more than thirty years, I have worked with people through touch. I have given sessions in Italy, India, the United States, Greece, Germany, and many other places. Wherever I go, I am reminded that there is a language we all share, where words become an addition rather than the center of communication. Our hands communicate. Our hands listen.

Moments like the one in the café remind me that this language is not limited to the workroom. We communicate through the way we look at one another, what we remember, what we notice, and how we respond. In the Pantarei Approach, we begin with what we experience. From there, the connection naturally follows.

On July 7 at 5 PM, I will host a free online introductory meeting about our Practitioner Pantarei Approach Training Program. If you are curious about becoming a practitioner, I would love to welcome you.

I love warm weather. In my family, we often joke that we are more like lizards. At twenty-six degrees, our muscles finally begin to relax.

Our school in Berlin is on the top floor, with windows in the ceiling. It is beautiful, but on sunny days, the greenhouse effect can become quite intense.

This Tuesday, I was teaching a Language of Touch workshop for our practitioners. As people arrived, everyone looked for the nearest fan, wrapped cool towels around their necks, or searched for the coolest corner of the room. It quickly became clear that I could not teach exactly as I had planned. The warmth that I enjoy so much was challenging the workshop I had in mind. All my efforts to open the windows, create a cross breeze, and keep the fans and air conditioner running at full speed did not help.

There was nothing more I could do to change the temperature in the room. I simply allowed the heat to change the workshop. I shortened my lectures, and we spent more time practicing.

In the Pantarei Approach, we begin with what is already there. Rather than asking people to try to change their experience, we include it. That day, I was reminded that every change begins by including what is already there, even if it is simply the cool towels around our students' necks.

I carried that feeling home with me. I rolled down the windows, let even more warm air into the car, and sang along to the radio. The people cycling beside me looked over, laughed, and some even started singing too. For a few moments, we were all simply enjoying the summer day.

On July 17, we will open the doors of our studio in Winsstr. 60 from 2:30 PM to 6:00 PM. There will be short introductions, time to meet people, and a tasty light buffet. We hope you'll leave not only knowing more about what we do, but having experienced it yourself.

We would love to welcome you, your friends, and your family!

One of these days, going through old photographs, I found myself traveling back through time. There I was at sixteen, at the beach during a family holiday.

My partner looked at the photo with me and said how happy, confident, and free in spirit I looked. I knew he was right. Yet I also knew that when the photo was taken, instead of enjoying my young self and being on holiday, I was busy counting what was wrong, cataloging every part of myself that didn't fit the image I thought I was supposed to be.

Looking at that photo today, I wanted to reach back through the years and say, "You are amazing. Feel yourself. Don't waste a single moment on those nonsense self-judgments."

Years passed. I became a practitioner, a mother, a partner, and eventually a co-founder of the Pantarei Approach. Yet when I look back at photographs from different periods of my life, I often have the same realization. In each one, I see someone who was carrying so much more life, strength, and beauty than she could recognize at the time.

This morning, when I opened my wardrobe to get ready for a hot day in Berlin, a familiar feeling returned. Choosing an outfit suddenly became much more complicated than it needed to be. For a moment, I could hear that old voice again, the one that was busy looking for what was not quite right.

Then I remembered that photograph and started laughing. I took a deep breath and allowed my whole life to speak to me. I remembered my friends, my family, my community, the challenges I have lived through, the things I have learned, the people I love, and the wishes I still carry for the future.

From that place, choosing a dress became easy.

Whatever body you live in and whatever history you carry, I hope you remember to take a deep breath and notice everything that is already part of your life. The challenges, the achievements, the people you love, the experiences that shaped you, and the qualities that make you who you are.

Sometimes all it takes is remembering the whole picture.

If reading this makes you curious about the Pantarei Approach and you are not yet a student or practitioner, I would love to invite you to join Vered's online introductory meeting on July 7 for anyone interested in our Practitioner Training Program beginning this October.
