The New Humanity Centre - An International Workshop, Study Centre and Spiritual Retreat

The Ensophion (pictured on the right) is the focal point of the New Humanity Centre which is located 10 km from Kalamata, in southern Greece. The Centre is nestled 600 m up on a mountainside and overlooks the Gulf of Messini. The surrounding views are both spectacular and awe-inspiring. The night sky also provides wonderful views of constellations and stars with almost no glare from urban lighting. The centre functions as an international workshop /seminar conference centre, spiritual, meditation centre and silent retreat. It also caters for backpackers, school visits, hikers, mountaineers and space for cheap holiday chalets, mobile homes and tent site.

The Centre is administered by Hari Homaro Vacal who was a graduate of the University of Brussels, and a student member of Oxford University, UK. Hari was also a graduate of Waterloo University of Canada and involved in the Arcane School of New York, USA.

The New Humanity Centre especially welcomes teachers /gurus and masters to host their workshops and seminars for their students in the surroundings of this unique natural environment which offers beauty, silence and space. The Centre is vegetarian although we do respect the wishes of non-vegetarians and provide space for culinary alternatives.

The New Humanity Centre is available for school residential trips and for school educational day trips. The Centre offers a unique experience to look at the ecology of the surrounding hillside and vegetation which is dominated by olive groves and associated fauna. The Centre is about 10 - 15 minutes from the Aegean Sea and the village of Akroyali. The coordinator of the Centre, Hari Vacal is also willing to go into local schools and talk about the Centre and its teachings to local school-kids, teachers and educational establishment Heads.
