Holistic Partnerships: Friends and Collaborations
Mutual Value
Long-Term Connection
Conscious Choice
Real connection only works when there’s balance, especially in artistic collaborations. When everyone brings something real to the table, it fosters community connections. This isn’t about taking more — it’s about an exchange where everyone benefits and grows, supported by holistic energy practices.
Conscious Choice
Long-Term Connection
Conscious Choice
We don’t connect just anyone. We choose people and projects that truly align with our vision of artistic collaborations and community connections. Shared values, a similar mindset, and a clear sense of 'yes' — that’s what makes the connection meaningful, especially when it's infused with holistic energy practices.

Avtonomi Akadimia
Avtonomi Akadimia is a durational art work and an educational assembly that fosters artistic collaborations and community connections through a practice of free, open-air education among trees, cicadas, and birds, at the very site where it once existed: the Akadimia Platonos Grove. Here, a military training camp took place two and a half thousand years ago, and Plato taught young men the philosophy of the militarized state. From this very spot, where it all went wrong, we have been instigating an inter-epistemology of art, philosophy, environmental activism, and political healing since 2014. We conjure the reuniting of art and physis in ecofeminism, emphasizing holistic energy practices. We esteem knowledge of the Good Life above all other knowledges and weave together indigenous epistemologies. The Athenian Schools of Care, as offered by Avtonomi Akadimia, juxtapose healing cultural techniques of becoming one—or re-symbiotizing with the elements of the natural world—with politics: political philosophy and artistic activism.
The Athens Sculpture Atelier
The Athens Sculpture Atelier is a dedicated space for the study of traditional figurative sculpture, designed for those pursuing serious, focused training within a community that values artistic collaborations. It offers a range of educational opportunities—from an intensive six-month full-time program to shorter, immersive workshops lasting two to three weeks—allowing each student to engage at a level that reflects their commitment and goals, while also embracing holistic energy practices to enhance their creative journey.
THE127
We are an art gallery concept in Athens that fosters artistic collaborations, bringing together exhibitions, workshops, and everyday creative practice under one roof. More than just a place to view art, we are building community connections around shared experiences — where people can meet, learn, and create together.
Alongside our exhibitions, we host hands-on workshops that invite people to reconnect with materials, slow down, and explore creativity in an accessible way. Our space also functions as a shared studio and co-working environment, supporting artists, makers, and independent thinkers who need both structure and inspiration.
Sustainability is integral to how we think and operate. In our shop, we offer carefully selected objects and materials that align with a more conscious, grounded way of living, while also incorporating holistic energy practices.
At its core, the gallery is about connection — to art, to process, to others, and to the physical world around us.

Her sculptures, paintings, performances, drawings, and video works have been showcased in solo and group exhibitions at renowned venues such as the Pergamon Museum and Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin, Tate Modern, as well as the Tirana Biennale, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Athens Biennale, Kyiv Biennial, ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, and documenta14, among others.

Robert Bodem
Robert Bodem is not only an internationally recognized sculptor but also a deeply influential teacher whose work has shaped contemporary figurative sculpture through education and artistic collaborations. After completing his studies at Boston University, where he earned both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Sculpture, Bodem began his career working alongside Dimitri Hadzi. This early foundation in traditional sculpture informed a lifelong commitment to both practice and teaching. In 1998, he was awarded the Albert S. and Ester B. Kahn Award, which enabled him to establish the Sculpture Program at the Florence Academy of Art. Over more than two decades as Director of Sculpture, Bodem developed his influential methodology, Drawing in Space—an approach that has guided and inspired a generation of figurative sculptors, emphasizing clarity of form, structure, and perception. His dedication to teaching continues through his role as the founding director of the Athens Sculpture Atelier, where he fosters a rigorous yet supportive environment that builds community connections and allows students to engage deeply with the human figure through holistic energy practices. He also teaches workshops internationally and has served as a guest instructor at the Figura Dutch Academy of Figurative Sculpture. Through his educational work, Bodem’s impact extends far beyond his own sculpture—living on in the hands and vision of the many artists he has trained.

Sister A
Founded by Anna Xydia in 2024, Sister A is a holistic wellness brand rooted in a deeply personal journey. Originally Greek and raised in Luxembourg, Anna was naturally drawn to cosmetics, beauty, and self-care from a young age, as it was always an intuitive part of who she was.
From early on, she felt different and unique, wanting to be fully authentic while also longing to belong, as she didn’t quite fit in. During her late teens and early adulthood, she faced personal challenges that led her to seek deeper healing. She studied psychology and coaching, immersing herself in holistic energy practices that helped her reconnect with her mind, body, and spirit.
Through this journey, she not only found healing but also fell in love with self-discovery—and now she wants to share that journey with others by creating a supportive sisterhood for women.
Sister A began with four carefully crafted self-care products featuring lavender, designed to help women relax, ground themselves, and reconnect with their inner world.
From the start, Sister A’s vision has been more than just products; it’s about creating community connections for women. A space where women can heal, grow, and explore all aspects of themselves, while embracing their raw feminine energy, creativity, and authenticity.
Sister A combines wellness, self-care, movement, spirituality, and creativity, including artistic collaborations in a bold, multidimensional approach. The brand is dedicated to supporting women on their journey to holistic wellness.
Lisa Conlan
I am an Intuitive Energy Artist and a PhD researcher specializing in art for wellbeing and socially engaged art practices with refugees. As an artist, I focus on personal animal totems, guardian angels, and unique soul essence. I launched my artistic journey in 2005, initially painting various landscapes and spiritual pieces. However, during a trip to Australia in 2011, I recognized my gift as a medium through art.
Throughout the process, I often experience visions in my mind’s eye for my clients, which I manifest in the physical world through my artwork. As soon as I pick up a paintbrush, the magic begins, and the layered work of healing unfolds. I embark on a journey of artistic collaborations, praying, sending healing, and surrendering to the process. Each finished artwork is accompanied by messages and guidance, along with pictures of the creative process, fostering community connections.

Retreat facilitation. Nervous system reset. Craft-led experiences.
Maria Petrenko is a Santorini-based experience designer and retreat facilitator who focuses on pace, place, and attention.
She creates small-scale, carefully structured experiences that support nervous system reset and meaningful slowing down. Not through passive relaxation, but through intentional sequences.

Maria also supports retreat leaders and travel designers in shaping experiences with rhythm, clarity, and depth.

And of course, fellow cat lovers—Maria has ten rescues and no intention of stopping.
Each experience is designed around one core question:
How should this day feel, and what needs to happen for that to be true?

Santorini by Maria
alessio prefumo
The Author dedicated over 20 years of his life to exploring and searching for inaccessible places that remain to this day far removed from the effects of mass tourism. Through his artistic collaborations with local tribes, he has come into contact with cultures and authentic traditions on the verge of being lost. This journey is fueled by an insatiable desire for knowledge that has pushed him beyond his own expectations.
During the Odyssey of his journeys among indigenous tribes in the remotest areas of the Amazon, he has entered into a profound, symbiotic relationship with the queen of their sacred plants: Ayahuasca. In this book, Alessio Prefumo narrates his Amazonian explorations in great detail, enriched by thoughtful, ethnic, geographical, and photographic descriptions, along with valuable insights into his many extraordinary exploits that straddle the limit of what can be considered real, rivaling even the most daring adventure novels. After years of searching, the author discovered what he has always coveted… During a shaman’s ceremonial rite, he fulfilled the only true possible voyage: the great voyage inside oneself. Thanks to this concoction of the most potent of entheogens and his innate desire for inner discovery, Alessio has managed to engage in holistic energy practices that led him to live the famous Epopteia. He will now describe what that supreme consciousness, praised by the great schools of philosophy and mysticism, truly was. Herein, the author attempts to translate into words the extraordinary astonishment of awakening from the material dream and ultimately discovering the immortal soul.
