About me
I am Alekos Christou
I consider myself an Alchemist, in the sense of working on transforming myself, and I have been consciously walking my path of self-development and evolution for more than 15 years.
I grew up and I live in the beautiful village of Arillas, Corfu, Greece. This is a very special place where many people are coming for the next step in their path of Evolution. Many retreats and festivals take place here and ever more amazing people spend more time in Arillas or even move to Corfu.
I was raised bilingually by a Greek father and Dutch mother. I spent almost 8 years in the Netherlands but I still identify as Greek. I am the proud father of two beautiful daughters!
My relationship with Alchemy goes back a long way.

My practices
I have been engaging in many practices that have helped me shed some of my blockages and evolve as a human being. All these practices can be utilised in organising retreats and events. They are also what helps me offer intuitive alchemical sessions:
Music is very important to me. I sing and drum as a fervent amateur.
I have been practicing Qigong and Yoga since 2012.
I have been clowning since 2019, using this as a way to look at my shadows.
I have been practicing Tantra since 2019, slowly but steadily incorporating it into my life.
I love dancing, in particular ecstatic dance and contact improvisation.
I feel connected to Sufism and I practice chanting (Zhikr) and whirling (Sema).
I grew up by the sea, the biggest healer I know. I swim all year round.
