About Me

This is an ongoing eco-project and help is needed on gardening,farming,,natural building and maintenance.There were 8 permanent members in the near past but now,for different reasons i am on my own basically.Many visitors and volunteers come of course but its only me staying here permanently and my dream is that this place can go on,develop and become what it was meant to be.An Ecocommunity.
Energy-wise we are sufficient,(2 windturbines and solar panels) and housingwise we have built the basic strusture of a Geodesic dome (which would be nice if it gets completed).We have built a complex of 4 containers which can be used for accomodation.There is a house nearby for short time accomodation.We also earn a wheelhouse.
We have free internet.
We have constructed a aquaponic unit and we have designed and set up a forest garden.
This project started in 2011

Additionally i am looking for people who may be interested to stay in this place ,long term or short.
I am interested in knowledge exchange and i really like to meet people from different countries.And maybe play some music too:-)
I am very much into NVC (non Violent Communication) and i really enjoy making presentations relatively.I am in a relationship,my girlfriend stays mostly in Athens.I chose to stay here permanently(besides my will to develop this place)because i cannot bare Athens (and big cities in general) and because i feel so creative here.I have reached to a different mindset compared with before some years and i want to stay in this wonderfull new dimension to me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite Music to me is Jazz and in general any kind of improvisationed music.
My Favorite Films are:Bladerunner,Reqiem for a dream,Manolia and others.
About books i am now reading Herman Hesse and i cant talk about favorite ones.The ones that where favorite in the past are indifferent to me now and the opposite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I came here at Spithari 4 years ago,on my own,leaving my way of life until then,deeply dedicated on contributing to a new way of life for me and for others.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach things about natural building and farming.I would love to share my knowledge on Non Violent Communication.I am keen to learn about other peoples way of life and mostly the way they perceive the new societal reality that is showing up.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my knowledge on Ecoprojects and NVC.
I would like to share natural food (we have some here of our own) and it would be great if you brought some organic fruits and vegetables on your way here(if you cant,its ok)
