Breathe Hellas

Breathe is a non-profit organization founded in 2020 by Tatiana Blatnik to fight the stigma that surrounds mental health. We believe in equity, especially when it comes to mental well-being, and our resources are available for free to everyone, everywhere. We build partnerships that create community and raise awareness, and we support initiatives that provide immediate support.

Breathe works to improve understanding of mental health by 1) providing self-care tools that can be used at home, 2) supporting campaigns that create a sense of community, and 3) advocating for equitable access to mental health support. Breathe is working to make Greece a leader in mental health by creating projects and campaigns focused on the emotional well-being of its citizens.

Today, Breath Hellas has partnered with Greek athletes and coaches to create the “Uniform of Hope”. A new symbol for mental health that shows how we can be stronger together.

Our hope is that no one suffer in silence and that everyone has access to the tools and resources to live live to their fullest potential.

We invite you to be part part of our journey.

“Uniform of Hope” is designed by the artist Christos Koutsoukos.

“Everything we do in life involves both our body and our mind. We owe it to ourselves to do all we can to live life to its fullest potential with passion and purpose, and to be the best version of ourselves. An investment in the health and happiness of our country is an investment in our shared future.”

Peace + Chaos

Peace + Chaos = Nefeli + Dimitris.

An equation of authentic style + evolving attitudes.
A marriage of spirit + love; cool + dynamic.
At the heart of this inspired marque de mode is a couple whose professional + personal lives are intertwined, and whose combined visionary talents have shaped + styled their path.

Their philosophy?

“Stay grounded + true to your authentic self.”

As a brand, Peace+Chaos signifies the strength of polarized energies where contradictions create the perfect symbiotic balance.

The Chaka insignia represents Peace+Chaos, which is inspired by the sacred Inca Cross, symbolizing the soul of life + the significance of spiritual transition to an elevated state. Thus creating a sense of holistic harmony – central to the Peace+Chaos ideology.
