Key Features of the Retreat:

Exploring Archetypal Energies

Participants will engage with the archetypal energies of Greek goddesses like Athena, Artemis, Persephone, and Demeter. These goddesses embody qualities such as wisdom, strategic insight, independence, and nurturing care. These archetypes offer powerful models for modern living and inspire us to step forward in life with a balance of strength and compassion.

Cultivating Intuitive Wisdom

Just as the Oracle of Delphi offered wisdom through intuition and divine connection, this retreat empowers women to harness their own intuitive abilities. Through practices like meditation, Tai Chi, journaling, and deep dialogue, you will learn to trust and nurture your inner wisdom, enhancing your life by releasing contractions, inner conflict, and resistance.

Integrating Sacred Practices

Ancient Greek rituals and ceremonies will be interwoven throughout the retreat, allowing participants to integrate a sense of sacredness into their daily lives. Visits to revered sites, such as Temples, ancient theaters, and healing centers, will create opportunities to honor these traditions and instill a more profound sense of purpose and reverence.

Embracing Essence as a Sacred Path

True wisdom 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 expression involves serving not only ourselves but also our communities and the greater good—a concept deeply resonant in our interconnected world.
