A Special Solstice Celebration:
Calling all lovers of nature, all in need of healing & ancient wisdom initiation, to join us on a world sacred land, for a transformational retreat with Shiva Rea, Sivani Mata Francis and a Krishna Das guest appearance, during the rare alignment of the Summer Solstice and Full Moon in Mani, Greece.☀️
All practice levels are welcome. Come as you are! Our Prana Flow will support both those needing to rest and restore with our daily lunar flow, and those who are ready to jump up to a higher level of energy with our solar–lunar flows.
Together, we will celebrate the healing Shakti of earth goddesses,
such as Rea, mother of gods & goddesses,
Gaia, sacred living earth, and other powerful divine energies of this ancient power spot,
as we amplify our intentions to revive and thrive!
Our retreat intention is to support you in your sacred embodiment. Our pilgrimage to the sacred site of Ancient Messene will forever transform our felt sense of health & connection with our own healing life-force within.

We will listen to the power of nature within and in the sacred temples, holy springs, ancient fire, and invigorating prana- bathed in the ancient space of Delphi.
Our immersion includes eight hours of (morning and late-afternoon/evening) movement meditation, sacred study and pilgrimage within Delphi and the ancient pathways down to the sea where pilgrims from around the world came to walk through the same. Millions of olive trees to the sacred Castilia Springs and some of the oldest shrines to the Great Mother, Gaia from there the pathways continue to the forest where the Maenades or earliest female dance tradition in Greece.
In this mythic landscape, we will have a summer base in which to explore Delphi in safe, outdoor, meditation explorations. We will provide the hub and curation of daily Yogadventures and nourishment and you can choose the accommodation and Greek feasting that suits your rhythm and budget. One delicious meal a-day will be be shared (sometime in picnic form as we roam) and is included as most hotels in Delphi offer generous breakfasts.
