Ariadne & The Soul’s Journey Through The Labyrinth
As we enter the archetypal realm of Ariadne and the Labyrinth of the Minotaur, we explore the soul’s journey through the labyrinth from the perspective of intuitive arts, movement, and embodied presence.
The arts are approached as a way of listening inward—a language through which what lies beneath the surface can be expressed, witnessed, and integrated. Through movement and dance, painting and clay, yoga, meditation,and nature-based practices, we gently unfold our own path through the labyrinth.
This retreat is open to people of all ages, cultures, and experience levels. You do not need to be an artist—only curiosity, openness, and a willingness to slow down.
Over five days, we weave together:
• Intuitive arts workshops (theater, dance, clay, paintng)
• Somatic and mindfulness practices.
• Myth, archetypal reflection, and circle work
• A sacred day visit to the Oracle of Delphi
Set by the sea, Galaxidi—the historic birthplace of Greek sailors—is ideal for serene & recharging holidays that naturally support rest, reflection, and joy.
