Goddess Hestia, the guardian of fire and hearth, ensured that the sacred flame would never die. She embodies the steady warmth that nurtures and sustains life, reminding us of the importance of tending to our inner fire.

In reflecting on our own inner flame, we recognize its ever-changing nature-sometimes a flickering ember, other times a roaring blaze that threatens to consume us. The key lies in balance: keeping our passion, drive, and motivation alive while ensuring they burn in a way that fosters harmony rather than exhaustion.

“I had the pleasure of experiencing motion release therapy for the first time earlier this month at a wellness retreat and it is difficult to convey how transformative it was for me.

Needless to say,  I am now quite a firm believer in the mind body connection and the importance of physically moving through emotions. I look forward to hopefully have many more sessions with Tina!”

“There were so many moments throughout the retreat where the combination of new knowledge delivered through workshops run by these renowned psychologists planted a seed. A new perspective on what I truly value, insight into the parts of me that I would usually judge and shy away from and the space for reflection started to enable me to see things more clearly. “

In the last few years, we had the chance to work with young people who had to leave their country of origin and move to western Europe because of war and other traumas. Our dance/movement workshops aimed at helping them to build their resilience and confidence within themselves. During our single 3-hour interventions, we danced, we painted, we wrote poetry, we laughed and cried.

Often, it can feel daunting to embark on a Retreat - on this year’s Retreat we were joined by Grace Nicholls, Career Coach, who kindly shared her diary of the week’s journey, for a peek into the Retreat format.

We wanted to get under the skin of Delphi, to understand more about everyone who visits feels it to be a special place, a place untouched by the ravages of the modern world and a place that seems to offer a deeper connection to oneself.

We reached out to the acclaimed museologist, and our Delphi Awakening tour guide, Penny Kolomvotsou to ask why - from her perspective - she considers Delphi to be special.

To anyone seeking a profound journey of self-discovery, I wholeheartedly recommend this retreat.

It is not just a retreat; it is a portal to a deeper understanding of oneself and the world.
