Mythical Journeys: A Self-Discovery Trip to the Land of Heroes

JUL 19 - 21

We invite you to a three-day retreat in Ancient Nemea, a journey where myths come to life! 🌿🕊️

Greek Mythology, known for centuries, brings messages from long ago. Creation myths and theurgy create a vast canvas filled with symbolism and sacred esoteric knowledge. We will approach these myths through the art of storytelling, listening to and analyzing them with love, empathy, and humility.

Storytelling, discussion, and discovery through art will liberate us and bring us into contact with nature within and around us!

The experience will be complemented with morning yoga and sound therapy, preparing us for the journey into mythical worlds and our visit to archaeological sites.

The Fall of Hephaestus

Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths, was thrown from Mount Olympus by his mother Hera, leading to his crippling but also to his mastery in craftsmanship and invention.

 

The Abduction of Persephone

Persephone, the daughter of Demeter, was abducted by Hades to become the queen of the underworld, causing the seasonal cycle of growth and dormancy on Earth.

Selene & Typhon: The Birth of Heracles

The moon goddess Selene and the monstrous giant Typhon are involved in the birth of Heracles, a demigod famed for his strength and heroic lab

Eros & Psyche

Eros, the god of love, and Psyche, a mortal woman, endure trials and tribulations orchestrated by the jealous Aphrodite before finally achieving eternal love and divine union.

Surrender to deeply transformative healing practices

As the sun begins to set, it’s time for an evening practice! Dive into the transformative realms of yoga, meditation, pranayama, gong baths, ceremonies, or self-liberation seminars, each offering a unique path to self-discovery.
