My six weeks at Kalikalos

The keys to Liberation are universal and essentially simple: disengage from all the stories you’ve been telling yourself about life and who you are or should be as you negotiate your way through, and all at once you know yourself as divine, all-powerful, unstoppable and magnificent, as any divine, all-powerful, unstoppable being would. ('Fuck It –The Ultimate Spiritual Way’ by John C.Parkin)

Its 6.45am. I rise from where I feel is the best sleeping space in this beautiful place - a tent which could easily sleep two more people, high on the top terrace overlooking the ocean and front seat for the amazing daily sunrise. Yes, its a little noisy when i turn in for sleep, as it seems my bedtime is Kissoss's playtime. But minimal sleep seems ok here; i reckon its the raw food we've been

Holistic Holidays in Greece: Kalikalos—Good, Good!

2011-08-30T08:11:00.000-07:00

htSo did you know that kali and kalos are two words for 'good' in Greek? I have to find out what 'bliss' is in Greek ... I guess we could say kalikalos for 'bliss'! This is the beginning of my second week here and I have loved every single day and every single aspect of being here! I came here to do Dr Helen Ford's workshops "Living your truth" and "Resolving fear" and got the added bonus of

Creative Family Experience Week II

2011-08-21T06:05:00.000-07:00

Last night at our fireside sharing, reflecting on our last week together I realized that Pelion and Kalikalos have truly become my summer home. My three children feel the same way, and this year--my fifth here--I also had the pleasure of brother Adam joining us from Krakow. Adam brought his incandescent colleague and friend Olga who was so impressed that she hopes to return next summer with a

From Xania to Kissos walk

2011-08-14T10:13:00.000-07:00

One Monday in July a small brave group, Jeroen from Amsterdam, Ray from London and me from Inverness Scotland head out into the unknown. We get a lift from our sister centre Anilio who are going shopping to Volos. They drop us off in Xania, the highest point in Pelion mountains, where there is a ski resort in the winter. Hard to imagine in this heat! We hope to find our way back to Kissos

Creative Family Week I led by Dorota Owen (Scotland) Emile van Dantzig (Netherlands) and Rosemary Hawksford (York, England)

2011-08-14T06:16:00.000-07:00

Three facilitators, two separate campuses (Kalikalos and Anilio-STK), four 4 year olds and their mothers, and a mixed group of Greek and English speaking teenagers with a shared history and a clearly stated wish to stay as a particular group. How was it ever going to work? And yet, a miracle occurred last week, and we have a film to prove it! Lots of smiles, swimming, sand and sea shots in

Dancing With Life

2011-08-02T04:17:00.000-07:00

Coaches Liz Foster and Tracy Seed Our intention was to lead a transformational personal development week through a blend of mind, heart and body processes and this is exactly what we did with 14 participants from UK, Greece, Spain, Italy and Denmark last week at Kalikalos, a holistic centre situated in the Pelion mountains. Through our shadows and NVC (the work of Marshall Rosenberg) we

The Ducks And Chickens

2011-07-26T03:25:00.000-07:00

About a month ago Jock bought 2 ducklings and 2 chicks to KaliKalos as a new fun experience for everyone, its quite different than looking after the garden for instance, these adorable creatures need a lot more love and attention, and a slow gradual release onto the campus to roam freely. They all live very happily in a hand-made large cage, are fed 3 times a day, but we try to keep that limited

The American Talking Stick

2011-07-26T02:31:00.000-07:00

The talking stick was used in Native North American tribes at council meetings. the main purpose was so no one would interrupt a chief when he was speaking. The talking stick was then passed to the next council member who wished to speak. It was a ceremonial item and was decorated with eagle feathers and crystals to show its significance. Here in KaliKalos we duplicate the same idea so that

Rich Diversity of Talents

2011-07-16T06:44:00.000-07:00

Every Saturday morning after breakfast we meet as a group in a circle for a full community meeting. Like the Quakers, each meeting begins with a brief moment of silence after which we pass the talking stick around the circle so that each person gets a couple of minutes to share with the group their name, where they come from, and anything they wish others to know about them. In effect, we are
