Programme 2025
Organisé par Oikia
QI GONG and MEDITATION
First time in Greece, Pierre Kalifa is Christina's (the founder of Oikia) primary Qi Gong teacher.
An essential aspect in Pierre’s approach is that Qi Gong is not only seen as a health practice, but as a path to knowledge and profound transformation.
His way of teaching is deep and precise. It is sourced in his experience as a Chinese medicine practitioner, a former researcher in physics, a disciple in his Tantric spiritual path and his own lifelong QiGong practice.

RETURNING TO OUR TRUE HOME
In English
It is with great joy and pride that we are welcoming this year again a group of Monastics from Plum Village, amongst whom some senior Monastics, or “Bikshunis”*, who will take us a step further in experiencing the nature of Reality, embodying the fact that :
“There is no way home, home is the way”.
“Returning to our true home” simply means finding who we are and understanding ourselves in order to touch peace, joy and love.
As last year, this retreat is an offering, from Plum Village of course but also from Oikia. We see in this our contribution to the spreading of the light, our tribute to Spirit.
*A Bikshuni is a female monastic who has taken the highest level of Buddhist ordination.
More Info coming soon.
PRAYERS AND ACTIONS BEYOND BOUNDARIES
In English
More information to be announced soon
SINGING BEYOND MUSIC
In English
The voice is the muscle of the soul.
An in-depth workshop for freeing and developing our voice. Through breathing, movement, voice exercises, and improvisation, and thanks to Ulrik Barfod's perceptive, powerful and ever so delicate touch, we will be guided in the empowerment of our inner being through discovering and strengthening our own unique voice.
