Stop At: Philopappos Hill, Athens, Attica

Although most people connect Meditation to eastern religions and practices, meditation was a common practice in ancient Greece. The Greek word for meditation was ‘melete’, with Melete being one of the three original Greek Muses in Greek mythology. For ancient Greeks, meditation was the practical dimension of “know thyself”. Their technique aimed at the awakening of Memory and the dominance of the conscious mind over the unconscious.
After meeting with your guide, a spiritually rooted teacher of meditation, you will walk on Filopappou Hill, also known as Hill of the Muses. Positioned in a unique way, overlooking Athens and Acropolis, you will have the opportunity to marvel at the wondrous Parthenon and the sweet color of the Greek sun caressing its ancient white marble. Our expert will guide you on a special journey of meditation according to the ancient Greek practice.
Filled with the special energy of the place and the feeling of the morning breeze on your skin, you will then walk a short distance to a nice local brunch spot to satisfy your morning appetite with delicious vegan food. There, you can discuss about your experience with our guide, share thoughts and feelings and let a wonderful day in the beautiful city of Athens begin.
(Time we will spend at the brunch spot: about 1 hour)
