About Chiron

In Greek mythology, Chiron was known as the wise teacher and healer of the centaurs. Born of an Olympian god and a sea nymph, he possessed a soul of wisdom and compassion. Despite his half-human, half-horse form, Chiron was celebrated for his gentleness and his ability to heal both physical and emotional suffering.

Chiron mentored many of antiquity’s great heroes, including Jason, Achilles, and Heracles. He taught not only the arts of war and healing, but also morality and philosophy. Chiron represents harmony between humanity and nature, reminding us of the importance of wisdom, learning, and compassion — both for our inner peace and the world we live in.
