Celebrating the full bloom of spring with the rebirth of the Community Center, Orizon invites people from all over Crete – Greeks and visitors from around the world – to join a series of joyful and peaceful events to be held on 4th - 5th May, 2014. 

On Sunday 4th of May the programs will be dedicated to life and creation, gathering locals and visitors, small communities, families, friends, and any like-minded individuals looking to connect. A day of bodywork, including yoga and dance, artwork with painting workshops will be completed with a music concert performed by the special duet of George Papaioannou and Christos Barbas.

We are inviting volunteers to offer their talents assisting those in need, as well as companies and individuals capable to donate tools, instruments and equipment that are no longer required but still suitable for educational facilities. The Orizon Center for Life & Creation will serve as a meeting point and exchange for information and assets.

Vicky is back after an amazing journey of becoming a Mummy! Yoga has helped her so much in these last months she has had no time to practice Kriya's but she would breath in Sat and Exhale Nam in the difficult moments and every time she got a spare ten minutes she would do Savasana and fill her body with light and energy so she could give herself energy after sleepless nights. The little guy showed her a new way to bring Yoga to her everyday life.

Vicky is now ready to start a Kundalini class again and the start date will be Wednesday 7th May at 10:00 am. We will start with the classic basic sets and we will up the pace each week and really get back into this amazing practice of Yoga and Meditation.

With much love and light and lots of SAT NAM's

Everyone has a dream, a special vision that he wishes to achieve. Join us to anchor and empower your vision in order to give it a boost to the achievement! 

By movement and a special meditation you will be guided into the emotional state of living and enjoying your vision, and by giving it shape and color within a certain way of mandala painting, you will create a powerful visual key that can greatly support you on the way to your dream!

Sabine, an artisan, spiritual painter, designer and feng shui consultant, will be guiding this creative workshop for all who like to experience new abilities and go for their dreams. Painting skills or artistic knowledge are not necessary, as you will discover your own creative being within the mandala painting procedure. Mandalas are circle-shaped icons which are providing huge benefit to your wellbeing and inner balance. Besides guiding you to your own mandala, Sabine will also give you some theoretical information about mandalas and mandala art. You will not only enjoy participating at a special creative event, but you will be surprised about your very own abilities, and last but not least, you shall be creating a wonderful gift for yourself. More about Sabine on her website www.artesabella.com

The time schedule is: 
Saturday May 10th, 2014: from 10.30 am to 17.00 pm 
Sunday May 10th, 2014: from 10.30 am to open end with vision dancing 

Tea and coffee will be available, but we would like to ask all of you to contribute some food to share for the lunchtime. 

Painting media (wooden disc, already prepared for painting), paper, pencils, brushes, colors etc. will all be provided by Sabine. Very IMPORTANT: For preparing an accurate and adequate amount of painting material for every participant, we would like to ask you to confirm your participation as soon as possible. 

To confirm, please contact Sabine via email to artesabella@gmail.com or via mobile phone 694-2595207, or contact Ingrid Margarita at Orizon Center for Life and Creation, mobile phone 697-4143598.

The purpose of this programme will be to champion professionals, confident in their core speciality, in taking the next step in their own creative process. The group will support this and Murray Morison will facilitate, also sharing a range of techniques and inputs that are valuable to all personal and transpersonal trainers and healers. 

The Journey will unfold over two more weekends when the topics will be: Those we Serve and the Group Context of that service. These weekends will conclude before the end of June.

We invite you to celebrate the Greek Easter and the beginning of spring on the sunny island of Crete!
Crete is an extraordinary place of power. In this season, the island is in its full bloom, a symbol of resurrection. The awakened life.

The seasons are the expressions of life, death and rebirth. This cycle also takes place in our human existence. Easter symbolizes the process of renewal. Let go old patterns. Awaken consciousness. Discover joy, love and everything in and around yourself.

In this seminar you will get enough time, space and encouragement to listen to the wishes of your soul. It will give you the possibility to integrate the light and the ideal ground in order to give birth to something new in your life.
