Orizon Center for Life & Creation - Κέντρο Ζωής και Δημιουργίας

01/02/2026

"In these shifting times, which seem to move so quickly, we are asked to enter into ourselves - into our center - from where we are able to create the world we are wishing for."

Chi Nei Tsang is a wonderful healing art for outgrowing the emotions of the past that often hinder our pathway. I feel a deep calling to invite you to a place that mirrors this internal peace: The Orizon Center in Crete.

Perched above the sea, Orizon is a sanctuary of warm, positive y. Here, your process is supported by breathtaking views that quiet the mind and "farm-to-table" meals that nourish the soul. This is not just a retreat; it is an immersive 6-day journey into your own intelligence.

As the island blooms this April, we open our doors for this sacred practice. Located just 20 minutes from Chania airport, your path to regeneration is waiting.

Join us from April 24 – May 1

Spaces are held with love and intention. To reserve your spot in the April please,

🌿 Align Yourself, Align Your Year 🌿
Qigong Practice – 10 January

I find there is no better way to begin the year than by slowing down and reconnecting with the body, and this is what I invite you to explore with me.

This is a regular Qigong practice class, not a workshop. We will work with a small number of exercises and return to them slowly, allowing grounding, coming back to center, and yielding to unfold naturally. These simple principles deepen the practice without adding complexity.

Qigong is not a quick fix. You may notice some effects quite soon — less tension, calmer breathing, a clearer sense of the body. With regular practice, changes tend to unfold gradually, supporting greater awareness and steadiness in everyday life.

This session is for those interested in practice as an ongoing process. No prior experience is needed — you are very welcome.

📅 10 January
🕚 11:00–12:30
📍 Orizon Centre, Aptera
💶 €25
👥 Limited places

A quiet, steady way to begin the year — grounded, present, and aligned.

Sending lots of love and light from beautiful Vienna to all my friends and family around the world! ✨🙏🏼🙌 I hope your New Year is starting with peace and joy.

I’ve had a wonderful time here, but my heart is already calling me back to the island. Looking forward to being back in Crete very soon! 💙🌊

Beyond the Beaten Path: Guided Meditative Walks 🌿

At Orizon, we believe that nature is one of our greatest teachers. That is why we offer something very special to our retreat participants: Guided Meditative Walks led by Ingrid.

These are not commercial excursions or typical tourist trails. These are hidden gems, known only to a few, and Ingrid is one of the rare guides who can lead you there. These paths take us far away from the crowds, into the quiet, untouched heart of the Cretan landscape.

In these sacred, non-commercial spaces, we practice the art of being present. Moving in silence, we let the ancient energy of the land support our inner journey. It is a rare opportunity to connect with the island in its most authentic form—still, wild, and deeply peaceful.

Experience the hidden side of Crete Whether you are joining a retreat or staying with us for a holiday, these walks offer a unique perspective on the land we call home.

Hello beautiful souls,

Due to unforeseen circumstances, tonight's in-person meditation is canceled. However, the powerful energy of the Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces is a gift we can all receive, no matter where we are.

This is a time for deep release and spiritual cleansing. Think of this eclipse as a tidal wave washing away old attachments and illusions. It's about letting go of what no longer serves you to make room for divine flow.

Even though we can't be together physically, let's try to connect our hearts and minds from a distance. Tonight, take a few moments for yourself. Simply set an intention to release something you're ready to let go of and open yourself up to the new energy.

You can use this beautiful affirmation:

"I surrender to the cleansing tides of this eclipse. What no longer serves me is released with love, and I open fully to divine flow."

Sending you all love and light on this special night.

Dear Friends,

The universe has its own rhythm, and sometimes our plans must align with its flow. Tonight's meditation event is being postponed until next week.
We send you peace and look forward to our next gathering.
