We are a non-profit association that offers education and self-awareness for the growth
of the human being in all three dimensions, body, psychomental and spiritual level,
through seminars, workshops, private sessions, consultation, publications “Café – Ecole”
and entertainment, that is, evenings that provide nutrition for all
dimensions.
Following the example and the prompting of our visionary and pioneer Greek Master,
Constantin Foteinas, being the first generation of his children-fellow workers, we
continue seeing our world by image and likeness of the universe. We look around us and
when we discover something that reminds us of the honest words of Foteinas, we embody it
at Café Ecole aiming the holistic development of man that is his three dimensions, body,
mind and spirit. So, we had the great “luck” and honor to meet the Great Master, Swami
Veda Bharati, disciple of Swami Rama, and through him, Swami Rama as well. Swami Veda
asked Sofia Foteina, after her apprenticeship in the Philosophy and Practice in Yoga
since 2010, to represent the Himalayan Yoga Meditation in Greece. In that context we
embodied in our new center, the Himalayan Yoga. And our name: “Café Ecole- Himalayan
Yoga Meditation of Hellas” or in a simpler way, "Café Ecole- Himalayan
Yoga".
Alongside with the Seminars and the Workshops of Café Ecole, experiences that we share
with our old co-workers- Chryssanthi Foteina- Kissadjekian, Panagiotis Foteinas-Voinas,
Anna Zaharopoulou-Voina and Julie Doufeka- we emphasize on the spiritual growth of the
adults, of the pregnant and of the children through Himalayan Yoga( as was given from
Patanjali to the wise who lived in the caves of the Himalayas), with weekly meetings,
meditation, theory and practice of the philosophy of life that is on the same direction
with that of Café Ecole. Let us remember the Ayurvedic massage with which Pari Dessypri
has been practicing at Café Ecole, being herself “a child of Café Ecole”, because the
body is part of the mind and we have to remember it while working on our
self-awareness.
Furthermore, because we consider important to be in touch and know where we come from,
and at the same time eliminate the possibility of all learning difficulties, we will
start teaching Ancient Greek to primary school children, where playing and dancing with
the rhythm, children learn the meaning of the words that are still alive or derive from
ancient Greek words and we use them in our everyday life.
And one more new activity in our programme, the Energy Therapy with the method of Martin
Brofman, from our old dear friend of Café Ecole, Helen Theonas, who in co-operation with
the Self Awareness workshops, will accelerate the already impressive results of our
personal Self Awareness and Self Realization.
