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 ligthing. The centre functions as an international spiritual workshop /seminar and conference centre as well as a silent retreat. It also caters for backpackers, school visits, hikers, mountaineers and provides cheap holiday rooms and space for mobile homes and tent sites.

The New Humamity 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 Centre is administered by Hari Homaro Vacal who was a graduate of the University of Brussels, Belgium, 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.

Other courses will depend on whomsoever books our Centre for their group as organised by themselves. We welcome course, conference, seminar tutors, teachers and their students. Life after all, is one big, experiential learning field. We will only publicise your course or conference to potential participants if you expressly wish and request us to do so!
