Dr. Jorgos Pappas

Dr. Jorgos Pappas, born in 1952, holds a Master of Science and a Doctor of Philosophy in Systems Theory from Imperial College London.

After various positions at universities in England and Germany, he was offered a professorship in mathematics at the University of Ibadan in Africa at the age of 30. Following an inner calling, he gave up his promising academic career. What followed were 10 years of traveling around the world, during which he met various Qi Gong and meditation masters.

After returning to Europe, he founded “ILIOHOOS – the School of Simple Living” in 1993 on Mount Pilion.

The guiding idea is to discover the ever-present life energy and consciously use it for a better life. For many years, he has lived according to this philosophy with his wife and son on Mount Pilion.
