1OAM apotheke x CLO Circle
Saturday 24.02
1st Athens Meet-up

1OAM apotheke x @c_l_o circle hosted a serene ritual around sound a couple of Saturdays ago at @10amlofts.

Part 1: Guests were greeted with a warm welcome featuring @10amapotheke Herbal tea blend, Artos bread, Natural handmade incense, and Candlelight, transitioning seamlessly into an intimate, meditative session with the healing sounds of @nikolaos_unalome.
Part 2: @wineisfine.athens arranged for us an earthen table adorned with abundant platters of local delights – from freshly baked bread and artisanal cheeses to steaming bio vegetables. As part of Apotheke’s unique ritual, altar candles were placed on the table within sand. This communal table mirrors a tradition observed in Crete, where people come together after a monastery ritual. It serves as a space for connection and communication, offering a gesture of gratitude from the monastery to those who participated in the ritual.

“Inspired by the rich traditions of my grandmother in Crete, our ritual at 1OAM apotheke draws from the essence of Greek culture. Following the inviting aroma of natural incense, carefully crafted by monks, we cleanse our space, purifying it from lingering energies. Akin to my grandmother’s gatherings of organic mountain herbs, from my small village overlooking the Lybian Sea, we serve hot tea — a blend of handpicked herbs. Our expansive table mirrors, the celebratory plating of monasteries, fostering connection and communication in the spirit of the CLO meet-up circle.”

Love,
