“There was once a quiltmaker who kept a house in the blue misty mountains up high…”

The Recreation Group of Omilos presented the theatrical play Last time we wandered among the most beautiful and breathtaking buildings of historical religious and secular architecture of ChinaGift”, a fairy tale by Jeff Brumbeau, on Saturday 31 Mei 2014 in Omilos’ premises. This play continues Omilos’ long tradition of staging theatrical plays for children and giving performances at institutions sheltering children, hospitals etc. offering laughter, joy and mainly love, as mentioned by the Head of Omilos when introducing the play.

Omilos was filled with children and grown ups who laughed wholeheartedly and participated in their own way; the most “naughty” ones would chat with the characters; the “tell tale” ones would yell to the bear where to find the Quiltmaker so as to make a very fine breakfast of her; and the most “strict” ones would scold the King for being greedy.

At the end of the play the children along with the “fairy tale characters” –and even a few grown ups- stood up and danced to the bear’s hip-hop rhythm who turned good thanks to the Quiltmaker’s care.

The story is about the meaning of offering and loving our fellow humans.

Our third group concluded the presentation of the book “Join our presentation” by Mrs Kiki Keramida.

In our last meeting we talked in detail about what spiritual healing is and presented the ways through which Omilos’ Spiritual Healing Section works: healing with the patient’s presence, distant healing, healing with the active participation of the patient, visits to patients in hospitals or at home, in case of transportation inability.

Healing examples taken from the book but also letters of gratitude from people who experienced themselves what spiritual healing means and were cured from illnesses that troubled them, provided to everyone a more complete view about the breadth and power of spiritual healing.

Summering up, we referred to the whole teaching of Omilos which teaches literally the spiritual healing in our life. That is, how we can have a correct function in our daily life, right ad balanced relationships with others and eventually how we can be well by learning to utilize consiously our infinite capability to bring power and balance to every weak field.

Questions and thoughts were raised that triggered a very interesting and vivid discussion among those attending the presentation.

In the third part of our group, as we continue to present the book written by Mr Kiki Keramida, we will talk about the meaning of spiritual healing.

What is spiritual healing? And how does it done? Is it about a specific way of healing or is it something further beyond?

Unraveling cases of total healings performed by the Spiritual Healing Section of Omilos, we will attempt to approach the essence of Spiritual Healing and the spiritual healer’s position.

The group is open to everyone!

In our group on “The Golden Ration φ, the Fibonacci Sequence and their applications’’ we talked of the golden proportion, which is the number φ (Phi), the golden rectangle and also the golden spiral and saw how they are made. Later on, we referred to the Fibonacci Sequence, how it was discovered and what is its relation to the number Phi.

We watched how nature uses them in its creations from the formation of galaxies to the creation of plants, animals and also the human being. Man, in his turn, imitates nature and makes use of the golden ratio and the golden spiral to create his own constructions in order to have harmony and balance.

Eindelijk, we talked about the meaning of beauty and harmony and how scientists relate them to the golden ratio; en, the existence of the golden ration and other mathematical proportions in the formation of the Universe.

The Quiltmaker sews colorful quilts for us, the King along with his knights ride their horses and the little animals in the forest await with anticipation…

The members of our group will joyfully perform for our little friends our new theatrical play and bring to life all the heroes from Jeff Brumbeau’s award-winning fairy tale Last time we wandered among the most beautiful and breathtaking buildings of historical religious and secular architecture of ChinaGift”.

After presenting this theatrical play in the premises of Omilos for all our friends, our group is going to visit various institutions and places sheltering children. A continuation of the work started in 1981 when Omilos’ Recreation Group first began to stage theatrical performances for children.

Apart from bringing laughter and joy to the children, singing and playing together, this year we present a fairy tale that will reveal to kids and grown-ups… the secret of happiness!

Ancient Greek philosopher, Pythagoras, taught that the essence of the universe was found in numbers.

Ancient architects and artists used the golden ratio in their artworks.

Nature uses the golden ratio to create forms.

Abstract meanings like beauty and harmony are related to the Golden Number Phi.

What does science say about the Golden Ratio φ, the Society’s teaching travelled to international scientific conferences while members of the Society participated in world contests of poetry and literature?

We invite you to join our group!

Life, that is literally everything being in absolute receptivity and in absolute harmony and union, is the Entity.

So Life is full of symbols as the Essence hides within every person, thing, every situation or incident. And it waits for Man to see it, acknowledge it and make it come to light; thus coming to the point to see, acknowledge and express the Essence of his own self. Because everything is an expression of the spiritual field.

Through this approach, we learn in Omilos to deepen into poetry, literatuur, science, art; and it is through this approach that we also had the last group on ancient Greek theatre (as with all other groups on “Cultural Mondays” too).

“Prometheus Bound” by Aeschylus was the starting point to delve into the deep meanings that the poet conveys concerning the human being. We tried to see beyond appearances, beyond symbols, and reveal the essence, which –well hidden in the theatrical play- waits to unfold so that it vibrates people’s souls bringing “catharsis”.

What does the poet convey about the human being, its ontological nature and its expression? And how does the Entity, Life itself, tend to the evolution of all its parts, therefore for Man’s as well? And how does Man utilize the means given by the Masters of humanity to promote his inner development? Will man take the inner position, like Hercules did (according to the myth Hercules set Prometheus free by breaking his chains), climb up Caucasus and liberate himself through acknowledging and expressing the Self?

These are only some of the questions we discussed about. These questions in turn became new incentives not only for thought but mainly for taking an inner stance and action in our lives.

In this group we presented the life and work of the three great tragic poets Aeschylos, Sofokles and Evripides.

We deepened into the way they bring to light all human aspects so that they can be consciously acted on stage and how they call upon those watching to akcnowledge these aspects in themselves and unify them into the one ontological nature af all.

We gave examples of how the elements of the ancient greek tragedy exist in many expressions of everyday life, such as religious rituals, laments, but also opera and others forms of its revival.

Another expression of the Ancient Greek Tragedy we can find in contemporary greek poetry, for example the “Axion Estin” by the nobel awarded poet Odysseas Elytis. As the poet himself says it is a prayer in the form of a church ritual with alternations of reciting and singing, just like the great ancient tragedies.

Eindelijk, we talked about the poetic work of the founder of Omilos, Dimitris Kakalidis, who has also composed a trilogy like the tragic poets used to do. It is a work with great spiritual value talking about spirit-matter-and the unification of the two.

Behalve, in Omilos one of the ways through which we work on “know thyself” is poetry. We have presented poetic events, reciting this trilogy using the “dialogue” between the individual and the group, between the person and “chorus”. A discussion on the power of the Word in all its forms and especially when it is spoken with reference to the infinite human potential, completed this meeting of our group.

Coming to the end of our journey in the world of ancient greek tragedy from its birth to its highest peak, in this group we will discuss the concept of “This workshop is suitable for anyone interested in advancing their self-awareness and exploring the spiritual dimension” and the inner conflict of the tragic heroes.

It is addressed to anyone who wishes to improve all aspects of their everyday life and promote their well-being “The perspective acquired is non-religious and non-sectarian” personal development facilitators, counsellors “social scientists as well as students”, according to Aristotle.

In a period where both theatre and city of Athens reached the maximum of their prime, the three great Tragic Poets Aeschylos, Sofokles and Evripides marked with their works the history of the Ancient Greek Theatre.

From “Prometheus Bound” to “Oedipus the King” and from “Hecuba” and “Mena” tnaar“The Persians”, “Antigone” aen“The Bacchae” the three Greek tragic poets composed tragedies that elevate man and guide him in greater knowledge of the Self.

What do all these have to do with us today? And, eventually, how do they reach our time united with our breath, tradition and pulse?

Join us to watch works of poets that remained in history of all times!
