The meaning of Kogaion and our logo
Kogaion (pronounced koh-gai-ahn) is an ancient Romanian term for “sacred mountain”. It was the spiritual center for the Dacian people, although its exact location remains a mystery.
The academy’s logo colors represent the blue of the sky and oceans in perpetual motion and the yellow of light and energy. The dracon is a mythical creature with wolf head and snake body.
The spiral and yin yang represent continuous movement, creativity, and evolution, which are grounding philosophies of Kogaion Academy.
