When the sun shines, a Walking Lesson through one of the most vivid historical centres, the one of Thessaloniki’s, is a MUST! Wander through Rotonda, Galerius Arch, Palace, and the White Tower, strolling along the port of Thessaloniki. Learn how to greet and order in Greek tasting Greek coffee and the famous «mpougatsa » in Navarinou Square; try to read texts of Ancient Greek philosophers or Greek poems sitting on a bench in front of the sea. Take your notebook or your camera with you and let’s go!
An introduction to the basic syntactic and grammatical phenomena of the ancient Greek language. We use texts from the ancient Greek Literature (Ancient Greek History, Tragedies and Myths) as well as the Bible or Byzantine Hymnology in order to better understand the structure and way of thinking of the Greek language. The course is addressed to anyone who either has or doesn't have a knowledge of the Greek language. It is built as a personalized course, based on each student's level, motivation and learning needs.
Let’s talk about theatre and become part of it. Let’s remember the origins of theatre and some of the most thrilling myths of the ancient Greek Drama. Let’s confront the great heroes and try to speak their words. How would it feel to be Antigone or Oedipus for a while? Let’s challenge ourselves in Greek Drama through the theatrical condition. Theatrical texts, short stories, role plays, voice and orthophony exercises, in 1,5 hour that will remain unforgettable!

Catechism of the Catholic faith for the general public.
A time to talk about the Catholic faith, whether to share doubts, delve into what it professes or give each other encouragement in the walk of faith. I am a catechist of the sacrament of Confirmation and I have shared with a large number of young people. I am not a professional theologian, but I know a good amount of information, which I make available. I love God, his Church and his faith, and I would love to make it known and share my love for God. but teaching the faith must be done as a service to God and neighbor

Basic knowledge of Islam for both the born Muslim, the convert and the interested in Islam.
Basic knowledge about Islam: Doctrine ('Aqeedah): - The Muslim believes in Allah. Who is that? - The Muslim believes in the Angels. Who are they? and who created them? - The Muslim believes in all the heavenly books. Which are they? - The Muslim believes in all prophets. Also in Jesus and Moses. How is that possible? - The Muslim believes in the Last Day. What does that mean? What comes after this day? - The Muslim believes in fate. Is everything already described? Did everything have to happen to us the way it happened? Jurisprudence (Fiqh): - (in the making)

If you are interested in learning more about Quran and Hadith studies, you can check out online Quran and hadees and tafseer
Quran and Hadith are two of the most important sources of Islamic teachings and guidance. They are often studied together in various courses and programs. Here is a brief overview of what they are and how they differ: - Quran is the holy book of Islam, containing the words of Allah as revealed to Prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel. Quran is considered the direct, unaltered, and infallible word of God. Quran has 114 chapters (surahs) and over 6,000 verses (ayahs) that cover various topics such as faith, worship, law, morality, history, and science. Quran is written in classical Arabic and has a unique style and structure. Quran is recited and memorized by Muslims in its original language, and has been translated into many other languages. Quran is also the subject of various disciplines of scholarship, such as exegesis (tafsir), recitation (qira'at), and hermeneutics. - Hadith refers to the sayings, actions, and approvals of Prophet Muhammad, as reported by his companions and later scholars. Hadith serves as a secondary source of Islamic teachings after the Quran, and provides guidance on how to implement the Quranic principles in various situations. Hadith has various collections and classifications, depending on the authenticity and reliability of the narrators and the chains of transmission (isnad). Hadith is also the basis of various fields of Islamic sciences, such as jurisprudence (fiqh), theology (kalam), ethics (akhlaq), and history (sirah).

Philosophy of Religion: Thinking Deeply about Faith
Together, we'll explore core questions in philosophy of religion: Does God exist? What's the difference between religion and spirituality? Is it possible to prove that there is a supernatural realm? What does a materialist worldview imply about the existence of the mind - or the soul? Can life be meaningful without faith? Whether you just started thinking more about these issues - or have been pondering these questions for a while - this class will help you gain clarity about your beliefs (and experiences) and help you move forward in your journey.

Tarot Card Reading Course, Raider Waite
I can teach you the basics of Tarot. I have been practicing it for almost 5 years. I have a Raider Waite deck so I can especially teach you that one. In my course we will connect to our intuition and see what the cards reveal. I think it is much better to learn the cards on our own and through readings rather than just knowing their symbolism by heart. So there is much more fluidity. Don't hesitate to ask me any questions if you want before booking a lesson. I have two decks so if you don't have one yet it doesn't matter. I can even guide you to find a good deck that suits you if you wish.

private lessons in French, philosophy, religion.
We start from where you are to move forward at your own pace. I am very attentive to the playful aspect (especially for the youngest) and convivial. I like to teach by associating the artistic medium with my lessons (but I can also teach in a traditional way if desired!).
