Gratitude for me is a hymn to life filled with continuous thankfulness. It is the ideal way of living against the misery and unhappiness which can be found in our world today. We are born into this life to be happy and full of love.

The value of Gratitude is substantial as it activates the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine, endorphins responsible for the creation of positive feelings in our brain. If these are produced in large amounts, they can result to feelings of unlimited happiness.

The seed of Thankfulness has always been deep inside of me. However, when I started working every day, systematically towards this value, my heart opened widely and I experienced a profound transformation. Through Gratitude, I learned to appreciate all the intangible and tangible forms of energy; I learned to trust life more and accept every situation easily knowing that I cannot interfere; I was filled with joy and love and I was taught to be humble. All these achievements were the result of the miracle of Gratitude and the use of a magical ‘thank you’ spoken from the heart.

Through Gratitude, which is the magnet for attracting all the things we dream of, we can achieve “miracles”. The project includes further thanksgivings to all the energies that surround us; workshops, visualizations, meditations, silent walks and communication with nature; techniques for raising our self-esteem and forgiving others  as well as discovering our limiting beliefs to replace them with new ones and identifying goals in all areas of our lives; exercises on mindfulness to increase our churning power; exercises on musical and artistic expressions of talent and plenty more surprises!

By the end of this project, our ultimate objective is to be filled with the elevated energy of this special power so we can see ourselves as oceans of Gratitude, wiping out any wasteful or negative energy that may stand in the way of our spiritual progress.

In order to make this project even more fascinating and fill us with gratitude, we have arranged for it to be accompanied with live music so that dreamy meditations can carry us through our melodic nights and our artistic side is revealed.

Do join us and become a beautiful spiritual part of our group so you can praise life through the magical power of Gratitude.

 

 

Kazaviti, also called Megalos Prinos, is a mountain village on the west side of the island of Thassos. It is located 5 kilometers inland at an altitude of approximately 350 meters. The place has a magical aura. Old stone houses characterize the picture. The village square, the Platia, is the most beautiful on the whole island. It is shaded by old plane trees and invites you to linger. Apart from the summer months of July and August, the place is almost deserted. Most of the houses are used as holiday homes and are empty most of the year. 

In addition to the renovated houses, there are a very large number of abandoned houses and ruins. This gives the place a morbid atmosphere. Most of the gardens were abandoned and conquered back from nature. Around the village are extensive agricultural terraces. Almost all of them are no longer farmed. Some areas are kept open by goat herds, others overgrow. Below the village flows a stream. The creek is covered with rugged old plane trees and houses many rare species.
