Mati & Greek Mysticism: virtual workshop March 15
Mati & Greek Mysticism: virtual workshop March 15
Join us for a very special, mystical virtual workshop on Wednesday, March 15! We are so excited to have Nick Stamoulakatos back for his second workshop with Yia Mas. We had an incredible response last year to his Mati (evil eye) workshop and are excited to bring it back in an expanded way. This go-round, Nick will discuss practices that serve as protection rights, specifically from Christmas to Easter. He will also share about what the Mati is in Greek culture and why over 75% of Hellenes around the world still believe in it. The workshop will kick off with a meditation for protection from Yia Mas founder Kristina.
When: Wednesday, March 15. 7:30 PM EST.
Where: Zoom! We’ll email the link the day of the workshop. ***Your receipt will not include the link.****
This workshop WILL be recorded in case you can’t make it live!
Our teacher for the evening: Nick Stamoulakatos is an authority on Greek folk magic and folk healing traditions. He is an insightful healer, teacher, and medium, and overall wealth of information on Greek and Balkan traditions. He is unique in that he is one of the few in the diaspora to preserve customs, traditions, and rituals in folk magic and healing that were passed down from his maternal grandmother. Nick is based in Syracus, New York, and holds an M.A. in Cultural Anthropology and Educational Leadership.
Born in Syracuse, New York, to Greek immigrant parents, he grew up in a unique Greek-American community that descends from the border region of Macedonia. Click here to learn more about Nick.
