At Zantefitness Retreat, we embrace the wisdom of Ancient Greek philosophy, which emphasized the unity of body and soul. Ancient Greek philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, and Hippocrates were pioneers in addressing topics such as ethics, politics, metaphysics, and health. Plato, the teacher of Aristotle, defined the Greek ideal of kalokagathia—the harmony of mind, heart, and body. Aristotle, in turn, founded the first university, the Aristotle School, and mentored Alexander the Great. Hippocrates viewed the human body holistically and introduced practices like detoxification, bath therapies, and cardiovascular movements for disease prevention.
We also honor the legacy of Asclepius, who established the Asclepius centers throughout the Mediterranean, providing medical and holistic treatments, and Ancient Olympia, the birthplace of sports and the ideal of the Olympic truce. As Socrates once said, “It is shameful and unfair for a human being to grow old without ever having seen the beauty and power for which his body is capable.”
