The materials cover each topic in more in-depth manner than the materials available at our Free Content Section. These materials are structured as self-contained presentations but can also be used as materials for workshops and seminars for small groups. They are available as a package which also includes up to 5 hours of workshops and training with the founder of the website and author of the materials, Christos Christou, or one of his colleagues. Some of the materials are also available individually without being accompanied by workshops or training.
