Orphic Odyssey

An Orphic Hymns Journey in Greece

MAY 19 - 25

Immerse yourself in the mythology, music & magic of the ancient Orphic Hymns during this week long journey in the Peloponnese region of Greece. Along this extraordinary journey through ancient Greek spirituality, we will delve into the mystical world of six different ancient Orphic Hymns. We will be supported through teachings from devoted Orphic scholars, guided visits to ancient sights connected to the various gods, and nourishing food & lodging at a permaculture oasis in Nemea, Greece. Each day is dedicated to exploring the divine qualities of a specific Orphic hymn and activating the remembering of this essence within our own consciousness.

What are the Orphic Hymns?

Named after the poet & bard musician, Orpheus, these hymns channel connection with the divine essence of gods, or forces of divine universal nature. The Orphic Hymns are ancient texts meant to be sung in devotion to the gods they entreat for blessings of wisdom (Sophia), truth (Alethia) and love (Agape). Each Orphic Hymn is dedicated to a different god and evokes associated divine qualities and archetypes, such as Asclepius and the divine quality of healing and the healer. We will recieve the transmissions of these hymns through the musical renditions of PanArmonia.

About the band:

PanArmonia is a musical ensemble with the primary goal of reinstating the values of Musical Harmony, introducing a new concept, a new way of perceiving the beneficial role of music in people’s lives. For many years, it has dedicated a significant part of its efforts to the study and musical rendition of the Orphic Hymns. Our great cultural heritage from Orpheus comes alive through modern melodies, highlighting the ancient—yet always new—Greek spirit. So far, 13 hymns have been set to music, and more are to follow. 

The band’s universal aim is to musically manifest all Orphic Hymns, thereby providing a therapeutic and mystical experience

The musical creations of the band, however, are not limited to a single direction. PanArmonia boasts over 100 of its own compositions in both Greek and foreign languages, ranging from contemporary hymns and orchestral improvisations to adaptations of beloved songs, compositions for children, mantras, and more. A common feature is the love for Harmony and Life. 

All musical instruments are tuned to the healing frequency of 432hz, as each note emitted aims to resonate with the natural rhythm of life and the universe.

In a world rife with discord, PanArmonia aspires to compose a melodic narrative that triggers optimism, vitality, and an enduring sense of peace, reminding humanity of the ecstatic simplicity and joy of the present moment.
