Ευχαριστούμε πάρα πολύ!

Με μεγάλη μας χαρά λάβαμε από τις Εκδόσεις Ε. Ρώσση "Το Παιδί της Σελήνης".

Ευχαριστούμε από καρδιάς τους ανθρώπους του εκδοτικού οίκου, καθώς και τους δύο ανθρώπους, τον Γεώργιο Φραγκάκη (Prem Adri) και τον José R. Ibáñez που δημιούργησαν ένα εξαιρετικό "παραμύθι" για μικρούς και μεγάλους!

Λίγα λόγια γι' αυτό:

Πώς δημιουργήθηκε ο άνθρωπος σύμφωνα με την ελληνική μυθολογία; Πώς γεννήθηκε η αγάπη;

Η ιστορία συνομιλεί με τον μύθο του ανδρόγυνου από το «Συμπόσιο» του Πλάτωνα, με τον θεοφράστειο μύθο του Ερμαφρόδιτου και με τα αρχαία αγάλματά του, ανοίγοντας έναν διάλογο για τον αυτοπροσδιορισμό, τη σωματική αυτονομία, την συναίνεση και την ποικιλομορφία των χαρακτηριστικών φύλου.

Μέσα από αυτήν την ιστορία θυμόμαστε κάτι απλό αλλά ουσιαστικό: Κάθε άνθρωπος είναι μοναδικός και η ζωή είναι γεμάτη μεταμορφώσεις και όλοι μας επιθυμούμε να αγαπήσουμε και να αγαπηθούμε!

Μια διορθωτική αφήγηση της ελληνικής μυθολογίας για παιδιά που μεγαλώνουν με σεβασμό, τρυφερότητα, όνειρα και συμπεριληπτικότητα.

Από σήμερα, "Το Παιδί της Σελήνης", θα έχει μια θέση όχι μόνο στην βιβλιοθήκη της G-All, Gender Alliance Initiative - Η Συμμαχία των Φύλων, αλλά και στις εκπαιδευτικές μας δράσεις και στα μοιράσματά μας με φίλους και αγαπημένους μας συνανθρώπους.

There’s something deeply healing about living abroad… and then suddenly hearing loud Greek laughter somewhere in Brussels and realizing: “Ah. My people have arrived.” 🇬🇷✨ Tonight, one of my friends, , came all the way from Greece to Brussels to spread chaos, comedy, and emotional damage through stand-up. And honestly? Europe is not ready!!! Also, Greeks abroad hearing Greek humor live is basically group therapy with ni****ne and existentialism! 🤘🤘

Tonight, the Greek community gathered at La Madeleine and filled the heart of Brussels with its voice, its memories, and its longing for home. During the concert of , strangers became one crowd, one emotion, one language. For a few hours, Brussels turned into a living piece of Greece carried through songs, tears, smiles, and the quiet understanding shared by people who know what it means to build a life far from the place that shaped them.

Honoured to have participated in the networking gathering of the Greek academic community in Belgium, organised by the Embassy of Greece and hosted at the Greek Ambassador’s Residence in Brussels on Monday, 27 April 2026. As a PhD student and Teaching Assistant at , it was meaningful to connect with Greek academics and researchers active in Belgian universities and research institutions, exchange perspectives, and contribute to a growing network that strengthens the presence of Hellenic scholarship abroad. Events like this remind us that academic work is not only individual research, but also community, dialogue, and bridges between Greece, Belgium, and the wider international academic world.

I’m leaving “Facing Violence: Understanding the Faces – Seeking the Voice”, the two-day conference organised by HAPCEA on April 4–5, feeling grateful, moved, and full of thought.

I had the chance to be part of it in two very different, yet deeply connected, ways.

I presented “Working with Clients from Far-Right Political Parties: The Power of Therapist Transparency,” a subject that feels very close to me, not only intellectually and clinically, but also personally. It gave me the chance to speak about the complexity of staying present, honest, and ethical in therapeutic work when difference feels intense and deeply charged.

I also co-facilitated, with .skandalis , the experiential workshop “Diversity, Equality and Inclusion: An Experiential Deepening through the Expressive Arts.” That was a very different kind of space: one shaped by expression, reflection, encounter, and shared humanity. A space that reminded me how much can happen when people are invited not only to think, but also to feel, create, and meet each other more openly.

One part of my participation was about speaking.
The other was about holding space.

Both felt meaningful.
Both felt true.

I’m carrying with me the conversations, the openness, and the reminder that therapeutic practice can be many things at once: critical and tender, reflective and embodied, challenging and deeply human.

Visited the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and left deeply touched. Beyond the paintings, what stayed with me was the love between Vincent and Theo, two brothers bound by tenderness, faith, and devotion until the end. Their story is a reminder that love can also be a masterpiece.

📣 4–5 April 2026 | Moraitis School (Athens)

I’ll be joining the conference “Facing Violence: Understanding the Faces, Finding the Voice” with a talk and an experiential workshop focused on:

• the Person-Centered Approach when the therapeutic relationship is under pressure
• working with violent/aggressive clients
• privilege, power, and our blind spots in the therapeutic encounter

If you want grounded, practice-oriented input plus reflection on your way of being as a therapist, come join us. Register now or DM .epve and they’ll send you the details.

Last night in Athens I walked into Michael Cacoyannis Foundation for Cleansed by Sarah Kane (directed by Dimitris Karantzas), and I’m still carrying it in my body: it was ferocious, splatter-level, soaked in blood, violence so relentless it kept ejecting me from my own softness, like my heart needed to step outside and gulp air. And yet, in the middle of all that brutality, there were pockets of tenderness between the actors like small, devastating flashes of care that made the horror feel even more real, because love was still trying to live in that ruin. What a paradox: cruel and lyrical at the same time, a work that forces you to look at grief, desire, love, and some strange kind of redemption without filters.  What hit me most was how the production didn’t “justify” the violence, but used it as a pressure-cooker where identities dissolve and rebuild, where q***r desire and the body become a battlefield, I wouldn’t say t it was chaos; it was controlled, deliberate, almost ritualistic. I left shaken, but also strangely opened—because a part of this performance is still working inside me, pushing me (gently, insistently) to transmute what is unbearable into something symbolic that has meaning for me, not as an excuse, but as an inner act of survival. And honestly? Nights like this are why I keep saying it: theatre in Greece is unmatched…

Fifteen years later, we somehow managed the impossible: a summit meeting of three old friends, reunited in the heart of Athens! We laughed like we never left, replaying the ridiculous (and somehow heroic) stories of our first grown-up years: the messy confidence, the big feelings, the forever plans… and it hit me how rare and precious it is to come back to the people who knew you before you learned how to “adult.” Grateful beyond words for time, for friendship that survives distance and different lives, and for Athens doing what it does best: holding memory in its streets…!! ✨

This workshop, “Diversity, Equality, Inclusion: Exploring the Therapist’s Identity and Values,” held at Mediterranean College in Thessaloniki (December 1–2), invited therapists to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the places where personal experience, socio-political conditions, and therapeutic identity meet. Through a blend of encounter groups, expressive arts, and a guided FSTU meditative journey, participants gently explored how internalised norms around gender, identity, and privilege shape their therapeutic presence. The aim was not perfection, but deeper awareness, authenticity, and compassion. Participants left with clearer insight into their conditioning, a stronger link between who they are and how they work, and embodied ways to bring DEI principles into their clinical practice.
