My Week in Athens… Jun 14

The weather has been wonderful – the Canadian in me will never complain about the heat!

My mother is still in town – and we decided to take a ‘city road-trip’ on Saturday. We left the house around 9:00am, stopped at our local Grigoris for a coffee for the road, and went on our way…

We headed out of the city on the Attiki Odos and made our way towards Marathon. Our first stop was Nea Makri and the Monastery of St. Ephraim, a ‘controversial’ saint who lived in the 14th century. It is a small monastery, where you can see the mulberry tree where he is believed to have been hanged by the Ottomans.

We left Nea Makri and headed towards Leoforos Souniou, eventually turning towards Vouliagmeni. What a great day to be at the beach… We stopped in for a bite of lunch at En Plo in Vouliagmeni – nice menu, sea-side views - well worth it if you’ve never been…

Later on, we jumped back in the car and drove across the city on the Paraliaki (beach road) and ended up in Piraeus! A pit-stop in Mikrolimano and a quick look at the cool-looking seafood restaurants around the little harbor, put Mikrolimano firmly back on my ‘to do’ list…

With the gas tank quickly heading towards empty, we headed back north on the Ethniki highway and made Kifissia our final destination. A coffee on the perfect little patio at Casa was the last stop on our city road-trip – one of my favourite corners of the city…

How’s that for a full day on the road?? We loved it.

Until next week,

Jack

My Week in Athens… Jun 21

Met some great people at the Hard Rock Café this week, with the XpatAthens folks. Nice way to spend an afternoon – and feel like you’re not in Athens for a while!

When I walked in, I must say I really felt like I was in Canada or the US – the look of the place, the uniforms of the staff, the smell of onion rings alone…

A bunch of people came out – few beers and chicken wings made this a decidedly ‘Hard Rock’ evening… At one point, 2 tour buses unloaded a group of Italian tourists into the bar - taking photos of the rock n’roll paraphernalia on the walls and buying ‘Hard Rock Athens’ souvenirs – I guess people still do this…!

Was really cool to chat and hear everyone’s story. There is great variety among us, of course – reasons why we’re here, reasons we choose to stay, our fave places, our joys and frustrations in this crazy city. What’s most amazing is that everyone I met has one thing in common: we are all making the best of being here. We actually want to be here – and our collective cup is half-full. At least, it was on Saturday!

Until next week…

One Day Wellness Retreat In Athens

Ongoing - All levels Restorative Techniques, Gently Movements and Breathing Exercises followed by Sound Healing will be performed in this Retreat. Sound healing is a unique type of sound practice that involves using Therapeutic Sounds to bring about Healing.

What will we do? - Earth practices (movements with focus on deep awareness & release), Breath re-pattering & Sound Healing.
 
Most people who participate in this retreat are lying down on mats. Add a pillow and a blanket and all you’ll need to do is rest in a comfortable position. If you desire to release any unhealthy physical patterns & tensions, to cultivate a deep sense of Calmness and Gratitude, to reconnect to your inner Wisdom & Intuitive Power, this will be the best retreat for you.

Sound Therapy has long been used to manage a broad range of health conditions. The treatments are based on the understanding that all forms of matter – including our body’s cells – vibrate at different frequencies. Factors such as stress, depression and disease cause cells and organs within our bodies to vibrate at non-optimal frequencies.

Benefits of Sound Healing include; deep relaxation, pain relief, decreased inflammation, reduced stress, improved sleep and better immune system.

This retreat will be specified on your specific need and any regarding health issues. Sound Therapy has long been used to manage a broad range of health conditions. The treatments are based on the understanding that all forms of matter – including our body’s cells – vibrate at different frequencies. Factors such as stress, depression and disease cause cells and organs within our bodies to vibrate at non-optimal frequencies.

Most people who participate in Gong Baths are lying down on meditation mats. Add a pillow and a blanket and all you’ll need to do is rest in a comfortable position, relax and close your eyes. Your instructor will guide you through the session. Initially, the Gong is played very softly; as the meditation session progresses, the volume is gradually increased.

Since the purpose of the meditation Gong Sound is Healing, the volume is never upped to uncomfortable levels. The Gong Sound is changed frequently to avoid producing a fixed, monotonous rhythm. The auditory stimuli of the Gong Bath process lead to entrainment, a form of beneficially modified brainwave frequencies.

The first brainwave state to be reached is alpha, which is defined by frequencies between 8 and 12 Hz. Alpha brainwaves are associated with creativity and feelings of relaxation. In this state, people experience daydreams, associative thinking and an animated imagination. This state is quickly followed by an influx of theta brainwaves, which fall between 4 and 7 Hz. Normally, the theta brainwave state is associated with deep meditation, hypnosis and REM sleep.

Gong sound therapy has been practiced for thousands of years. Today, enthusiasts believe that gong baths can help reduce stress and liberate emotional blockages. Scientific evidence suggests that certain forms of sound therapy prompt damaged human DNA strands to repair themselves. Some tones are thought to promote vitality and healing, and also to enhance happiness. Many alternative healthcare clinics offer sound therapies such as gong meditation to help manage various ailments.

My Week in Athens… Jun 28

Busy much?? With summer really and truly here, Athens feels alive and buzzing with activity. I know that Athens is a big city, and big cities have lots of stuff going on – but this past week it really struck me that Athens offers a lot to its visitors and residents alike.

It really hit home the other day, as I was thinking about what to do, where to go – ‘what’s on’… Do you like music? Do you like dance? Do you like theatre? Do you like culture and history? It seems like there was something for everyone, everywhere, all week long!

A group of us hit the Acropolis Museum anniversary events on Wednesday – people and music! But we could just as easily have gone to the Argentinean Tango Festival, European Music Day events at Philipappou Hill, or Socrates under the Acropolis (still on!)… And that’s just off the top of my head.

Let’s be honest – we’re really spoiled for choice in this city. It’s up to each of us to take advantage and make it happen. Get a group of friends together, pick a spot, and enjoy Athens…

As the saying goes, ‘Just Do It’!

Until next week…

A Wellness Week in Paros3

5 - 7 Σεπτεμβρίου - Πίσω στην αρχή. Το φθινόπωρο μάς καλεί να επιστρέψουμε στη βάση. Να γειωθούμε. Να νιώσουμε ασφαλείς και να καλωσορισουμε τις αλλαγές αυτής της εποχής, χωρίς φόβο. Να θυμηθούμε ποιοι είμαστε και πού πατάμε.
 
Το 1ο τσάκρα (Muladhara) είναι η βάση της ύπαρξής μας. Όταν η ενέργεια εκεί είναι μπλοκαρισμένη από τους βασικούς φόβους επιβίωσης, νιώθουμε ανασφάλεια, αστάθεια, φόβο ή αποσύνδεση από το σώμα και τη Γη.
 
Μέσα από:
- Πρακτικές Asanas,
- Pranayama,
- Διαλογισμούς,
- Αγιουρβεδικά Ελιξήρια και
- Αγιουρβεδικές πρακτικές μαλαξης,
 
θα συνδεθουμε με τις ποιότητες του και θα το ενεργοποιήσουμε για να φέρουμε σταθερότητα και νέα αρχή στη ζωή μας. Το πρωτο τσάκρα είναι η βάση για όλα τα επόμενα. Όταν είναι ανοιχτό παραδινομαστε στη ζωή. Resistance to change causes more pain than change itself.
XpatAthens is excited to let you know that we will begin to introduce some Greek content to our platform! We love the Greek language and there are many of us within the international community who speak the language and like to connect with our local communities in their native language.

Autumn Detox Retreat Mystras

28-30 Νοέμβρη - Για δεύτερη συνεχόμενη χρονιά έχουμε οργανώσει, σε συνεργασία με το βραβευμένο για τις υπηρεσίες του Euphoria Retreat, το φθινοπωρινό Detox Retreat μας. Δημιουργήσαμε ένα διήμερο αποτοξίνωσης και ξεκούρασης με ειδικά διαμορφωμένα μαθήματα yoga και κινησιολογίας για να προκαλέσουμε και να βοηθήσουμε το σώμα μας να αποβάλει τις τοξίνες.
 
Η αποτοξίνωση μέσα από την άσκηση και τη διατροφή είναι ένα εγχείρημα που το δουλεύουμε πολλά χρόνια με πολύ καλά αποτελέσματα και πολλή εμπειρία. Το διήμερο αυτό θα πραγματοποιηθεί σε συνεργασία με την τεχνογνωσία του Euphoria στις άριστες εγκαταστάσεις του Euphoria Retreat. Θα προσθέσουμε στη διατροφή μας ροφήματα από ελληνικά βότανα, διαφορετικά για κάθε ώρα της ημέρας και πολύ προσεγμένα πιάτα από το εστιατόριο GAIA.
 
Η αποτοξίνωση είναι μια διαδικασία πολύ εσωτερική κυριολεκτικά και μεταφορικά και για αυτό το λόγο θα δώσουμε έμφαση και στην πνευματική-ψυχική αποτοξίνωση με μαθήματα διαλογισμού, αναπνοών και πνευματικές ασκήσεις.
XpatAthens is excited to let you know that we will begin to introduce some Greek content to our platform! We love the Greek language and there are many of us within the international community who speak the language and like to connect with our local communities in their native language.
Δεν θα μπορούσαν να λείπουν από το διήμερο αυτό οι θεραπείες του spa. «Μέθοδοι», που παντρεύουν την Ανατολή με τη Δύση, την αρχαία Ελληνική Ιατρική με την Παραδοσιακή Κινεζική Ιατρική και την επιστήμη με τον νατουραλισμό. Αυτές οι συγκλίνουσες προσεγγίσεις δεν μπορούν να βρεθούν πουθενά αλλού στον κόσμο και έχουν τοποθετήσει το Euphoria Retreat ως τον καλύτερο προορισμό spa στην Ευρώπη.
 
Σας προσκαλούμε λοιπόν να απομακρυνθείτε από την καθημερινή ζωή και να ανακαλύψετε τον κορυφαίο προορισμό της Ευρώπης για ολοκληρωμένη υγεία, ζωτικότητα και μακροζωία. Φωλιασμένο στο θεραπευτικό τοπίο της Πελοποννήσου, το Euphoria Retreat επαναπροσδιορίζει την ευεξία με ένα μείγμα 360 αρχαίων ελληνικών και κινεζικών θεραπειών, ιατρικής αιχμής, επιστήμης φυσικής κατάστασης για να καλλιεργήσει κάθε πτυχή της υγείας και της ευεξίας σας – σωματική, ψυχική, συναισθηματική, πνευματική και κοινωνική.
 
Οι θέσεις είναι περιορισμένες και θα τηρηθεί σειρά προτεραιότητας. Η συμμετοχή θεωρείται έγκυρη με την κατάθεση της προκαταβολής.

Το Retreat θα διεξαχθεί στα Ελληνικά.

Step Into the Story of Your Life

Imagine experiencing your life as a powerful film where you are both the star and the co-director. At this retreat, we’ll draw inspiration from Greek philosophy, mythology, and modern psychology to help you see your challenges as plot twists and your victories as shining climaxes. Instead of being swept along by circumstances, you’ll begin to recognize the deeper meaning behind your personal narrative — and rediscover the joy of living with intention.

Magnetize Love, Abundance, and Joy
Through guided meditations, embodied practices, and interactive workshops, you’ll learn how to shift old fears and patterns into confidence and flow. Using my AGIO Method — rooted in Stoicism, neuroscience, and Greek wisdom — we’ll practice simple yet profound tools that allow you to attract the relationships, opportunities, and experiences that align with your highest self. This is not just a retreat; it’s a reset that allows you to leave behind old scripts and step into the role you were born to play.

A Transformational Community Experience
Surrounded by the beauty of the Athens Riviera, you’ll share this journey with like-minded seekers who, like you, want to live with more joy, ease, and meaning. Together, we’ll dance, laugh, reflect, and celebrate life as a sacred story unfolding. You’ll leave not only with clarity and renewed energy, but also with the support of a new community and practical practices you can carry into your everyday life — long after the retreat has ended.
