Key Features of the Retreat:
Exploring Archetypal Energies
Participants will engage with the archetypal energies of Greek goddesses like Athena, Artemis, Persephone, and Demeter, who embody qualities such as wisdom, strategic insight, independence, and nurturing care. These archetypes offer powerful models for modern leadership, inspiring us to step forward in life with a balance of strength and compassion.
Cultivating Intuitive Leadership
Just as the Oracle of Delphi offered wisdom through intuition and divine connection, this retreat empowers women leaders to harness their own intuitive abilities. Through practices like meditation, Tai Chi, journaling, and deep dialogue, participants will learn to trust and nurture their inner wisdom, enhancing their analytical and strategic skills.
Integrating Sacred Leadership Practices
Ancient Greek rituals and ceremonies will be interwoven throughout the retreat, offering participants the chance to integrate a sense of sacredness into their daily lives. Visits to revered sites, such as the Temple of Athena, will create opportunities to honor these traditions and instill a deeper sense of purpose and reverence in their leadership journeys.
Embracing Leadership as a Sacred Path
True leadership transcends goal achievement or management; it is a sacred journey that aligns personal and professional lives with a higher purpose. Ancient Greek wisdom teaches us that authentic leadership involves serving not only ourselves but our communities and the greater good—a concept deeply resonant in our interconnected world.
