About this Retreat
Hello, my name is Spyros Pappas. I grew up on Mount Pilion, surrounded by nature, in a Taoist and spiritual family that inspired me from the very beginning to follow my own path. I have been practicing yoga, Qigong, and meditation for several years, and I am very grateful for everything I have learned and for the opportunity to now share my knowledge and experience.
Dance has always been a part of my life, and from an early age I took every opportunity to dance with great joy and passion. I look forward to sharing my passion with you and taking you on a small journey into Greek culture.
I also feel a deep connection to nature, especially to Mount Pilion. Together with me, you will be able to explore beautiful small paths around Pilion and listen to stories from Greek mythology along the way.
Dr. Jorgos Pappas, born in 1952, holds a Master of Science and a Doctor of Philosophy in Systems Theory from Imperial College London.
After various positions at universities in England and Germany, he was offered a professorship in mathematics at the University of Ibadan in Africa at the age of 30. Following an inner calling, he gave up his promising academic career. What followed were 10 years of traveling around the world, during which he met various Qi Gong and meditation masters.
After returning to Europe, he founded “ILIOHOOS – the School of Simple Living” in 1993 on Mount Pilion.
The guiding idea is to discover the ever-present life energy and consciously use it for a better life. For many years, he has lived according to this philosophy with his wife and son on Mount Pilion.
