A Place of Love, Unity, Creativity and Growth
Myrrinounda is a manifestation of our collective dream for peace, love and unity. It has been created by the joined energies of many different souls each with his and her own unique talents and resources. It has been created for all who seek greater health, peace, happiness, harmony, unity or spiritual evolution.
Myrrinounda is something different to each person. For some of us it is our home, a small but growing community of like minded souls seeking to create an environment conducive to spiritual growth in all of its many levels and facets.
To others it is a place to follow seminars on the weekends, or during the summer for seven, or ten day or one month intensive retreats. Others come to stay a while, to fast or eat our healthy and delicious vegetables and fruits ? some from our ever expanding garden. They come to rest, to meditate, to pray, to come in contact with nature. Some of them also to work side by side with us in the garden, kitchen or elsewhere.
Others come to some of our cultural events such as plays, music, dance and art and crafts exhibits put on by members of our larger family, the spiritual center called Harmonious Living in Athens, with a membership of about 2500 persons, about a 600 of which participate regularly in classes, seminars and lectures offered in our Athens center.
Some come to participate in our Conscious Work Program in which we work together (mainly in the garden or kitchen) seeking to be as conscious as possible. A bell rings occasionally and each makes notes on his or her feelings, thoughts and main obstacles towards being totally present. These observations are discussed later.
And to the shepherds who pass by with their flocks, we are a simple and very curious (but friendly) group of people.
What Is Myrrinounda Like?
We are secluded. The only other building visible is a monastery about a half kilometer away. When we first arrived the area did not have a flourishing plant life, except for a number of acres of olive trees and vineyards. We have planted, however, over a thousand trees and including cypress, pine, apples, pears, apricots, figs, lemons and oranges.
See the photographs listed above.
The Accommodations?
We are located 30 minutes by car south east of Athens near the town of Markopoulo. There are 23 rooms for double occupancy (they could also fit three comfortably) with bath. There are another 6 rooms for double occupancy with shared baths. Some of these rooms are occupied by permanent members of the community.
There is a large hall for exercises, meditation and the cultural activities. There is also a covered outside space for the same during good weather. There is a smaller hall for smaller meetings, a library, meditation room, office, chapel and kitchen and dining room for 90 persons. We also have facilities for tents and trailers.
The Daily Program
Except for small changes during the summer seminars, our program is something like this:
6.30 Wake up (7 in the winter)
6.30 to 8.00 Exercises, breathing, chanting and meditation
8.10 Breakfast
8.40 (or 9.00 in some cases) Work begins
9:00 Seminars begin
11.30 Break with fruit and herb tea
2.00 Work is completed and we have our afternoon meal - all meals are vegetarian.
3.00 to 5.00 Silence and rest
5.30 Discussion groups or work ? seminars begin
7.30 to 9.00 Exercises, chanting and meditation
9.15 p.m. Light evening meal
9.45 Discussion, recreation, chanting or private time
What Is Happening in English?
Most of the permanent community members speak some English. For some it is their mother tongue. Others speak German, Italian and French. But until now all of our group activities are in Greek. We hope to begin to have summer retreat seminars in English soon. Write for details if you are interested.
Where is Myrrinounda?
Myrrinounda is located between Markopoulo and Porto Rafti, Attiki. Travelling from Markopoulo towards Porto Rafti on the back road past the Health Center (ESY) we turn off that road about 4 kilometers from Markopoulo. There is a large sign there which says Mitsubishi.
There is also smaller signs directed towards the right which have two letters A.Z. which stand for Armoniki Zoi (Harmonious Living). Turn right there and follow the road until you come to another sign which says A.Z. and turn left. Continue along about 300 meters, between the vineyards, fig trees, olive groves until get to a bamboo fence and turn right into the entrance in that fence to the building Armonia (Harmony) where our offices are. If you get lost just ask some shepherd or farmer where the Monastery of St. Anna (Agia Anna) is. We are just across the vineyards from them. Call 22990 40314 or 22990 40316 if you get lost.
Enter the grounds with care and respect, for it is likely that there is a seminar going on or that some are meditating. At other times, however, you may find us singing or dancing or working very hard. So enter quietly until you find out what is going on.
How Can You Arrange to Come to Myrrinounda?
There are four possibilities.
1. You may be attending as a participant in a seminar.
2. You may come and work and live with us for a while.
3. You may simply want to rest and recharge your batteries or practice spiritual disciplines on your own.
4. If you have your own group of participants, you may rent out our facilities.
1. Check the program of activities of «Armoniki Zoi» to see which seminars or activities interest you.
2. Fill out the application form for your stay at Myrrinounda and present it at the office in Halandri or send it to us.
3. Register for your room and/or seminar including the corresponding down payment for both.
Guidelines For Harmonious Living at Myrrinounda
We would prefer not to establish any guidelines, whatsoever, for we believe that each person?s inner self will eventually guide him or her to what is in harmony with the laws of nature and for the good of all. We believe that each person needs to be himself in order to discover the beauty which lies within him.
On the other hand, we feel a responsibility to offer those who come to Myrrinounda a clean, harmonious, peaceful, loving environment conducive for inner spiritual work. It is our experience in the past that although we all have good intentions, we are not all yet free from old programmings and unconscious habits which prevent us from functioning in a way which is most beneficial for our own growth and for the welfare of the whole.
We feel the responsibility then to lay down some guidelines for living at Myrrinounda so that we can effectively offer to all who come an environment for physical and mental rejuvenation, self-discovery, spiritual evolution, inner reflection, opening of the heart and expressing joy and creativity.
The key word is respect for ourselves, others, the buildings and nature.
The basic guidelines which you will be expected to follow at MYRRINOUNDA are:
1. Observe the hours of silence, which in general are from 3.30 p.m. to 5.00 p.m. in the afternoon and 10.30 p.m. to 7.00 a.m. Silence also means not making noise with our shoes, with plastic bags, opening and closing doors etc. At all times, radios or tape players should be audible only to you and not to others (i.e. head phones).
2. Observe the lights out and sleep regulations. You may not be tired, but your roommate may not have the courage to tell you that he would rather sleep than talk.
3. No meat, fish, poultry, alcohol or illegal drugs of any kind are allowed on the premises of Myrrinounda.
4. No smoking is allowed in any of the buildings (this includes the toilets). There are special areas set up outside of each building which are located about 100 meters from the building.
5. Please be consciously thrifty in your use of water. Please report any leaks to the office so that they can be repaired immediately.
6. Electric current, is very expensive and consumes the natural resources of the Earth. Please use as little as possible.
7. Please do not through any paper or any other objects in the toilets ? they clog our biological cleansing system. All toilet paper goes in the baskets provided.
8. Please dress simply, properly and appropriately for the various activities. Wear loose comfortable clothing which enable you to exercise, work and dance more freely.
9. We ask that you do not cook in your rooms, as this attracts various insects. Each building has a small kitchen and eating area which you can use. Please leave it clean and in order.
10. Please do not invite persons who are not registered at the office as staying at Myrrinounda or are following a seminar to your rooms. It is place for inner work.
11. Please participate in the group spiritual practices at 6.30 a.m. and 7.00 p.m. daily.
12. Please leave rooms and toilets as clean as you found them (or even cleaner). Myrrinounda is not a hotel. It is your refuge for spiritual evolution. We are all volunteers and no one is paid for any work which is done. All work is done as a love offering.
We thank you for observing these simple guidelines which will make all our lives much more harmonious.
WHAT SHOULD YOU BRING WHEN YOU COME TO STAY AT MYRRINOUNDA?
1. Bring two sheets and a pillow case for sleeping.
2. Another sheet for exercising (this is important).
3. Comfortable clothing for exercises, dancing and work.
4. A note book and pen.
5. A flashlight.
6. Warm socks or woolen foot warmers in the winter.
7. Towels and soap for your washing up.
8. If you come during the summer months bring a mat and blanket for exercises and relaxation.
9. An open mind and an open heart.
