Axladitsa-Avatakia | Living Wholeness

Calendar - 2009

Continuous Collective Inquiries to Meet this Time in the World. We offer these opportunities as space for inquiry and reflection with oneself, with others and the place - to inquire into and co-create the practices that will allow us to meet the future that is now coming forward. All these offerings have been co-created by people who are practitioners, learners, pioneers and teachers – who offer their knowing to open the space for us to learn together.

Olive Harvesting 10–14 November 2008 & 17–21 November This year, we - Maria, Sarah, Ingrid and Panayioti harvested the olives at Axladitsa. Production was low, due to rainy weather during September, which awoke a fly 'dakos' which made the olives fall early. Despite this, the trees produced 78kg of olive oil. The following week, we harvested on Panayioti's land. 2007 Conscious Kitchen Photos Harvesting Photos

And how will we cultivate those competencies?

The Axladitsa Immersion Framing 11-28 May Registration The Immersion included:

Presence Retreat 11-14 May
How does presence – individual and collective – impact what we practice, how we practice and where, so we can transform the contexts of our communities and organisations. How does presence really support us when the carpet is being pulled? How can we bring our chaos with us and let the land and the natural world help us to look at that? What if, as the ground shifts, we need presence more than ever – and we need to be in the ground of our presence, and each others – to feel one anothers strength?
Art of Protection Retreat 18-21 May
An inquiry started in 2008, and continuing at the next level to explore a reframed definition of “protection” – namely, the skillful walking of a razor’s edge in the face of disturbing realities, with the calling questions…In our lives, organizations and communities, what are the competencies that support us to wisely engage with uncertainty, disturbance and conflict? And how will we cultivate those competencies?
