Workshop: CO-CREATORS: Paradisial nudity as fundamental for community recovery by revealing and accepting truth
developed and facilitated by Sylvia Serena Hadjigeorgiou with the curatorial support of Chrystalleni Loizidou
Part of the Deep Commons Conference, on Saturday October 29th, 13:15pm. To take part call 99802833.
From Greek history and mythology to the myth of Genesis we explore the ripples of losing the connection of co-creating life, of losing our paradisial innocence. We heal by enhancing our Inner, outer and greater body acceptance through stripping layers of conditioning.
Nonviolent Communication Meetups
Remember that time you sat together in front of a youtube video, with lots of your friends, taking notes about how to handle conflict in your relationships, and then talking about it? We do this regularly. Get in touch if you’re interested.

Erika Wieser biography
I am a Kindergarten Teacher since 1978. Two years working in the Linz Tobacco Factory Kindergarten in Upper Austria showed me that I didn’t know anything about “difficult children” and that I had to continue my education. I went to Vienna for the next two years to complete the school for children with disabilities and then worked for the next 3 years in Christoph Lesigang’s outpatient department for children with multiple disabilities. Professor Lesigang was an excellent anthroposophic doctor for children and I was lucky to learn a lot from his behavior with children and parents. I worked with the children and gave advice to the parents. After the wonderful years in Vienna I came by accident to Greece where I fell in love with my husband Dimitris Papaioannou, a painter of Byzantine icons. When we came back to Austria, I worked for the next 10 years with children with severe disabilities in a dedicated kindergarten. In 1994 my daughter Myriam came to this world and changed my life. In 1996 I started studying Waldorf Education in Vienna which lasted 3 years, completing my final thesis on the subject of the tactile sense. For 5 years I was special assistant in the two Waldorf Kindergartens in Linz for children with additional needs, and finally, 13 years before my retirement, I started and led a natural Kindergarten on a farm focusing on Waldorf Education. Beside my work I taught for 10 years Basal Stimulation for Kindergarten teachers for children with additional needs. For three years I was working with adolescents with very difficult childhoods and trauma from the war in Bosnia. I am a trainer of health gymnastics since 1985. I am a beekeeper since 2005. Now I am in pension and I am lucky to do what I like most: to share my experiences.
Spring 2021
A lot has happened in the past year, including going from a co-operative to a teacher-led Waldorf initiative and now returning to a free-er nature-based co-operative network across the entire island. The core of our programme is a Waldorf-style rhythm in the park twice a week in Nicosia, some of us meet once a week in Limassol, another day in Paphos, another in Flasou, and we looking to intergrate Choirokoitia. In short we follow community. Here’s some information for the next two weeks:
Eimaste Parents Cooperative: ζωοχώρος (room for life) Spring 2021
We get together in small groups and our program is cooperatively developed to meet the needs of families interested in natural, alternative, democratic, and community education or unschooling. We hold a weekly Parents Circle and come together with the guidance and the experience of Erika Weiser.
