In times of uncertainty we need to explore our deeper roots to grow higher. During these 12 days we will reveal our roots in the sacred ancient Greek tradition and in the Sapphic Lesbian Culture, and we will enjoy the pleasures that the nature, the sunlight, the dances, the tastes in Greece provide.
The “Women’s Sacred Roots Retreat” offers a soul journey with embodied experiences of our common and sacred roots. After paying tribute to emblematic figures from the beginnings of the women liberation movement in the 19th c., we will feel the empowerment in the temples of the six Olympus goddesses and in the Amazons Land, we will explore, through own experiences in an authentic Greek village, the wisdom of our great grandmothers’ agricultural life and artistic expression, we will have an insight into the life of the medieval princesses, and we will end on the island, where the first known Lesbian community in the world flourished. By weaving myths and truths of the women through time we will be led to a deeper understanding of ourselves and our strengths.
The “Women’s Sacred Roots Retreat” is a guided sensory travel through time and historic sites expanding from the beginnings of life on Earth in the Petrified Forest to the Ancient, Medieval and Pre-industrial Times, where you will be introduced into the same natural environment, herbal smells, traditional tastes, ancient music sounds, (our common) words, love and body language of Sappho’s circle.
