For those who give so much, this is your time to receive. We will begin this journey in Athens, staying in the beautiful and picturesque Plaka old district and walk the Agora where the Greek philosophers Socrates and Plato taught. We will spend time in the temples of the agora and the acropolis connecting to the divine. 

 

Greek Mythology is a great way of discovering our Shadows and is used often in psychology for healing and self-realization. The Gods and Goddesses are

archetypes of the primordial energies that live within us. We can heal through the archetypes and discover our true Self.

 

This retreat is for healers only. We will stay on an award winning, organic, farm an immerse in the energy of Gaia (Mother Earth). Mount Pelion is off the beaten track, a beautiful and very special place to me where the land is wild and pure. The beaches are some of the most beautiful in the world and hug the mountainous terrain. Mount Pelion is the sacred homeland of the mythical centaur Chiron, “the wounded healer”. Chiron was a gentle, loving healer who was a master herbalist. He mentored Asclepius, the Greek God of Healing, and Asclepius mentored Hippocrates, the archetypal physician. 

​

We will have sacred time in temples, caves and gardens. We will meet and gather around an ancient grandmother tree. Your mind, body, heart and soul can rest and be nourished. Wounded healers carry deep wisdom, insight and intuition. By sharing our stories, we can inspire and heal others. This retreat is 3 days in Athens and 8 days on Mount Pelion on an organic farm overlooking the Aegean Sea.
