A sanctuary for healing, training, and human transformation
Set in the hills of Paphos, Cyprus

1. Overview

Arkesie Centre is the physical heart of the wider Arkesie vision—a therapeutic, educational, and relational space grounded in nature, truth, and emotional depth.

Located on three acres of terraced land in the mountains of Paphos, it offers both residential therapy and on-site training, with plans to expand into a full ecosystem of healing, skill-building, and long-term regeneration.

It’s not a retreat.
It’s a place of reckoning, re-rooting, and becoming.

2. Therapeutic Work

• Intensive Residential Therapy

One-to-one, bespoke therapeutic work with Jimi Katsis, focused on:

  • Complex trauma

  • Identity and belonging

  • Exhaustion, loss, and life transition

  • Reconnection to purpose and self

Each stay includes full assessment, immersive relational work, somatic integration, and aftercare planning.

Length: 3–10 days depending on need
Format: Daily therapy, reflection, rest, and integration activities
Outcome: Not symptom relief—but deep reset

• Integration Pathways

We offer follow-up pathways post-residency including:

  • Online check-ins

  • Therapist collaboration

  • Journaling/reflective prompts

  • Mentor support

3. Training & Mentorship

• Training Intensives

Small-group, in-person training for those wanting to deepen their knowledge :

  • Work at relational depth

  • Understand trauma through lived systems, not manuals

  • Unlearn performance and return to presence

  • Practise holding, witnessing, confronting, and restoring

Delivered by Jimi and guest faculty, the focus is on embodiment, truthfulness, and emotional fluency—not just technique.

4. The Land & Setting

The Centre is held in nature—not as scenery, but as participant.

  • Old olive trees, thyme and sage underfoot

  • Mountain air and walking paths

  • Outdoor spaces for movement and solitude

  • Indoor spaces designed for depth: warm, private, and grounding

Future land plans include:

  • A self-sustaining garden

  • Outdoor ritual/fire spaces

  • Simple guest dwellings for long-stay or low-cost stays

5. For Whom

Arkesie Centre is built for those who are:

  • Tired of surviving but unsure how to begin again

  • Ready for depth—not performance

  • Longing for truth, containment, and skilled support

  • Practitioners, guides or seekers wanting to embody what they offer

This is not a high-volume, quick-fix, or “wellness retreat” model. It’s relational. Slow. Real.

6. Pricing & Access

We aim to keep a portion of stays subsidised or donor-supported, in line with our charitable mission. Full-fee places support lower-cost access for others.

Long-term, we will also offer:

  • Partial bursaries for those in financial hardship

  • Donor-funded residencies for carers, front-liners, or those in burnout

7. Our Vision Moving Forward

The Arkesie Centre is the seed of something enduring.
A place to gather, remember, unmask and rebuild. A place that outlives us.

 Planned expansions include:

  • Training curriculum embedded in the land

  • Arkesie mentors-in-residence

  • Global partnerships with aligned organisations

  • Youth/family intensive support model

  • Yearly gatherings and legacy retreats

  • Events
