Μηδὲν ἄγαν - NOTHING TO EXCESS.
Our Philosophy
Drawing inspiration from recent advancements in psychology, such as ACT and Mindfulness, while staying rooted in the timeless principles of analytical psychology, we were driven to craft transformative experiences that we could share with others - and Delphi Awakening was born.
Our mission is to facilitate participants’ awakening to the their authentic self and to the magic of a life that feels alive.
Know Thyself
The ancient Delphic maxim of ‘Know Thyself’ is the invitation and focal theme of our retreat.
Know thyself offers the compass that points to the path; and the light that reveals the obstacles we need to resourcefully overcome along the way.
The experiences we have built have been carefully tailored to foster self-knowledge and equip participants with valuable skills to lead a meaningful life, utilise their emotions effectively and foster a deeper level of connection with the self.
Our programmes have been meticulously curated by two seasoned psychologists, each with two decades of expertise in their field.
The Mind-Body Connection
We believe in the indispensible mind-body connection as a necessary prerequisite for developing self-knowledge. The body is both the vessel and expressor of our emotions. It can’t be overlooked…a disembodied awareness is non-awareness. True connection requires embodiment.
Many contemporary scientists now write about the importance of the mind-body connection. Bessel van der Kolk, the author of ‘The Body Keeps the Score’; and Gabor Maté’s ‘When the Body Says No’ both discuss how trauma is stored in the body and how interventions that take the body into account can offer healing from trauma, anxiety, addictions, depression and many other psychological difficulties that trouble so many of us.
In our experience as therapists, we had started to notice that our clients may try embodying practices in their everyday lives but then struggled to develop these novel practices into meaningful habits, even if they truly knew and acknowledged their value.
Finding Awakening
With Delphi Awakening, and our programme of embodied practices, experiences and workshops, we have the sacred opportunity to really work in vivo with the mind-body connection for the whole duration of the retreat.
Our sessions and activities help participants to develop a deeper connection to their bodies and to start a mind and body dialogue that offers a greater and richer understanding of themselves as a whole, as well as forge meaningful habits and practices that people are able to take forward themselves, long after the retreat has ended.
“I was given the incredible opportunity to participate in Delphi Awakening, a retreat that left an indelible mark on my soul.
This retreat, a fusion of soundbaths with gongs, dance therapy, breathwork, and immersive hikes in nature, was nothing short of a profound awakening.”
