I met Mariam after an invitation for a seminar entitled “Femininity Harmonization”, without ‎knowing ‎what this could mean for a provincial region. The venue where the seminar was ‎held was the Folklore ‎Dancing Group ‘Karagouna’ in the town of Karditsa. It was an ‎invitation to an acquaintance with oriental ‎dancing. In an environment of ‘between then and ‎now’, surrounded by traditional costumes some of ‎which have not been worn for over a ‎century, Mariam brought a fresh breath! More seminars followed ‎and through them we ‎learned symbolisms which reveal memories of the female body, which remain ‎asleep and ‎wait for the time of awakening! We discovered how to communicate with the hidden ‎world ‎of inner woman, we learned to liberate the defenceless woman and all the natural ‎bodily ‎motions, long forgotten in the passage of time. Mariam helped us to communicate ‎through ‎oriental dancing, full of respect for ourselves and the others. The female body ‎remembers! ‎The women of Karditsa always stayed close to the land, almost ploughing with their ‎bare ‎hands, but forgot what it means to be a woman! Mariam, we thank you for everything.‎
