Mission & Vision
The Five Wisdoms Institute brings ancient Vajrayana teachings to life in a modern world. We believe that every aspect of who you are — your energy, your patterns, your struggles, your gifts — carries the seed of wisdom. Our work is not about becoming someone new, but uncovering who you already are. Through courses, trainings, and a global community of practitioners, we offer a living path to self-knowledge, compassionate leadership, and embodied awakening.

Oikia hosts and organises workshops, retreats, trainings, art residencies and all kinds of events aiming at a happier, more conscious life on Earth.

Getting Here
Directions
International travel to Oikia Karapanou
Fly to Athens.
Take the metro or the bus to the port of Piraeus.
Go to gate E8, situated on the left of the square that is in the middle of the central harbor.
Boats to Aegina go often. You will have the choice between a ferry, that will take 1:15 hour, and a hydrofoil, that will take 40 min. You might prefer the ferry, to slow down and tune into the sea, the island views, and the seagulls.
Once in Aegina take a 5 minute taxi to Oikia Karapanou. You can ask to go by the sea road which is more beautiful and hardly more costly.
If you are driving, there are directions once you get to Aegina.
