After the great success of the “Astromykonos 2000″ we decided to repeat the experience and organize a new International Astrological Conference at the Greek island of Mykonos in the summer of 2001 (8-10 June). As the key speaker we invited the foremost Astrologer, prolific writer and rich and exuberant as a character Noel Tyl. The second key speaker was the famous French astrologer Elizabeth Teissier.

I actually organized this conference (with the full support of a benefactor of Greek Astrology – and excellent Astrologer him – herself – who prefers to remain anonymous). I had invited several Greek astrologers as speakers, which in the end did not participate. Unfortunately the non-profit “Astromykonos” conferences were not seen by a very good eye by the huge commercial astrological circuit in Greece, as they did not serve their lucrative etc. interests. Remember that there is no Astrological Federation in Greece and cultured Astrology is generally marginilised there. Plus, in 2001 there was no Facebook and the promotion of any event was possible only through TV and radio programs, magazines and newspapers. But as the Astromykonos conferences were not supported by any media corporation – despite all the efforts I had done and the dozens of press releases I had sent everywhere – people actually were not informed on this conference and the participation of the public was limited. Eventually, however, the low participation worked well because it created an even more warm and spontaneous atmosphere among those who attended.

The International Conferences “Astromykonos” 2000 and 2001 will undoubtedly remain in the History of modern Greek Astrology as two  “Lighthouses” – in a the general Greek astrological “darkness” and the lack of any sort of Greek conferences. Thanks to the “Astromykonos” conferences leading international Astrologers were invited for the first time in Greece, the Greek public had the opportunity to listen to them, to speak to them in person, to eat beside them. Thanks to the “Astromykonos” conferences the Greek Astrology emerged out of the fringe and stood for a while at the center of the International Astrological community!
