Let’s paint, play and laugh!
The second walking activity, on Sunday 9 October, is based on the topic:
Olive: the power of wisdom
According to our ancestors: "A healthy mind in a healthy body".

The activity will last 3 hours and will finish with an olive and oil tasting experience. Learn how you can use the olives you have picked and prepare them at home!
After the activity we can always relax in the Park premises and enjoy a cup of coffee paired with delicious and healthy snacks.
A few words from Marilena...
I was born in Athens. My love for people and Nature has always been within me. So, at age 33, I became a holistic healer and botanist. Back in my school years, I performed in plays and wanted to become an actress. In the years that followed democratic transition, I studied Sociology in France and when I returned to Greece, I worked for ten years as a set designer and costume designer in films and commercials. When the Wall came down, the creative power of Love led me to Berlin, where I studied the Healing Arts (Heilpraktikerin), specializing in botany and iridology. I practiced in Germany and in Athens for two decades. Since 2009, I have been living on a farm, overlooking the Euboic Gulf, cultivating the land, giving botany seminars in Athens, Crete, Peloponnese, Berlin and writing stories and fairy tales for children and adults.
