-Online training
This part of the teacher training is held online. All classes are pre-recorded, which you can participate in from the comfort of your home. The online portion needs to be completed prior to your training in Crete.

-In-person training in Crete
This portion of the training will take place in Paleochora, South Crete, Greece. Crete Island is the biggest and the extreme southern island of Greece. Paleochora is Crete’s gateway to the Libyan Sea. It is one of the most beautiful towns in the prefecture of Chania with extremely good weather where the summer lasts for over five months.

Here, you will feel at home through the kindness and friendliness of the people, you will taste the delicious local cuisine while the beauty of the sea and scenery will literally sweep you away. The picturesque village is located on a small northern peninsula surrounded by two exquisite beaches with sand and pebbles. The distance between Chania and Paleochora is a 75-kilometer drive enriched with the wild beauty that the Cretan scenery has to offer.

Your training venue during the onsite training is an eco-cottage retreat and seminar center located between Paleochora and Anydri village in the south of Crete island. Set in the most beautiful landscape, the venue is only a few minutes away by car (or about 20 minutes of trekking down a canyon) to some of the most pristine beaches and graphic Paleochora village.
