A Week in Adelaide, Australia


A Big Greek Feast of Celebration !!

Julia, John, Sondra, Angelo, Rosie, Peter, & Friend at the big Greek Feast!!

We spent the week in Adelaide, Australia, on the southern coast, in the very hospitable care of John Stamoulos, Angelo Tsakalos, and Gayle Laver. They have built their center around feeding the people in the Greek style........community dinners every week. Even in the weekend training food was prepared from their home and brought to the workshops to feed the participants. This evening Angelo deepfried the calamari, John brought his mother in with Greek delicacies, and Gayle not only made a most fabulous cheesecake for the last evening's dinner, but loaned us her new Audi convertible for all of our shuttles to and from events. This trio of committed breathworkers puts Adelaide high on the rebirthing map, serving a large community in this sunny town on the Australian Southern Coast.

John and his support team give rebirthing trainings all over the Southern Pacific area, and in Greece as well. He has been instrumental in extending breathwork to Singapore, where we are going in one week to work with his community of breathers there. Angelo Tsakalos provides the organizational and technical skills to keep the workshops running smoothly. Gayle works quietly on the home front to help extend breathwork to the local and international communities John has worked hard to build over the past dozen years. Sondra came to Adelaide in 1996, and is glad to return to find the rebirthing community thriving here from those initial seeds planted over a decade ago.

We would like to extend our deepest appreciation for all of the work that went into bringing us here to Adelaide on our Pacific tour. All the assistants were very competent and willing to serve. Thanks to Maria Jones and her husband Matthew, Julia Karpathakis, Andrew Lainas, Niki Takos, Maggie Ball, and Gian Franco for assisting in the trainings and group breath sessions. We hope to return to Adelaide next year and partake of the hospitality there......in the Greek style!!! Bole Baba Ki Jai !!! Love, SONDRA & MARK
