Golden Shadow Greece Retreats restore you to your true nature. We bring you into a very high vibration of love, beauty, joy, and creativity. It is a purification of your mind, body, heart, and soul. You immerse in the ancient wisdom and healing energies of the golden shadow. 

 

Ancient Greece is the origin of holistic health, medicine, and psychotherapy. We work with the ancient, archetypal lineage of medicine and healing. The original doctors, who were teachers and healers, began as Apollo to Chiron, Chiron to Asklepius, and Asklepius to Hippocrates. Ancient Greece is the home of holistic health and healing of the mind, body and soul. 

 

We will spend 4 days in Athens visiting sacred sites, swimming in sacred waters, and doing ceremonies. 

 

We will spend 8 days in the mountains, on an organic farm for just us, overlooking the magnificent Aegean Sea. Mount Pelion is the sacred land of Chiron, the wounded healer, a warrior and master herbalist. Chiron was a gentle centaur who taught herbalism to the God of Healing, Asklepius, as well as to the warriors Hercules and Achilles. 

 

This Golden Shadow Greece Retreat is a journey into the golden shadow, the highest vibrations of love, joy, and beauty. The wisdom that has been forgotten. 

 

ITINERARY

 

4 Days in Athens: 

We will stay in a hotel in the beautiful, picturesque Old Plaka District. As a group we will climb to the top of the Acropolis to the Parthenon and visit the sacred olive tree of Athena. We will walk the Agora where the Greek philosophers Socrates and Plato taught, and we will swim in the medicine waters of Poseidon and visit his temple. 

 

8 Days on Mount Pelion:

We will immerse ourselves in the Greek mountains overlooking the turquoise blue waters of the Aegean Sea. This area is off the beaten path. It is the pure wilderness and sacred homeland of the mythical centaur, Chiron, the warrior, master herbalist, known as the “wounded healer.” Here we settle into our stay on a most beautiful organic farm. You can rest, play, and be immersed in the beauty. We will visit nearby mountain villages, do pottery and art, yoga, massage, meditation, private healing sessions, and soak up the sun and swim in the waters of the Aegean Sea. 

 

It is profoundly healing to rest and reconnect to your heart and soul. You will have sacred time, alone time, and group time. There is time for play, laughter, creativity, exploring nature, and developing deep soul connections with others, your Self, and the divine spirits.
