OCTAIKON 
- a model of us, body and soul -
THE PROJECT WEBSITE
A. Marcus J. Robbins © 2008

The Octaikon model differentiates us into ten faculties, helping us to understand how we
"... live, and move, and have our being"
(Epimenides, quoted by St. Paul in Acts of the Apostles 17:28)
.

It can be used as a life-long learning tool for all ages and abilities in a wide range of situations,
promoting integral human development, better relationships, and balance in our lives.
This project website enables you to discover the origins, meaning, and uses of the tool,
and allows you to download, edit, and make a variety of resources.
