Another beautiful Summer School with George Kordis was held this past year.
With three days in Athens and a week on the island of Crete (2023 Summer School), our cup overflows with good teaching and good memories. Students attended from Lebanon, Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain, North Macedonia, Latvia, New Zealand, Australia, Netherlands, Denmark, Slovakia, Ukraine, Mexico, Cuba and the United States.
Each year brings together a special group of people to learn, grow and celebrate life together through iconography and the Byzantine system in close mentorship with George Kordis.
Many thanks to Alexandros Papachristopoulos for this 3-minute video clip below that gives a window to the experience….
We now look forward to next summer, with 10 full days in residence held at the Orthodox Academy of Crete in Kolympari (outside of Chania in Northern Crete).
You can learn more about next year’s program below.
