Greece/ Crete & Turkey Pilgrimage
Do you feel a spiritual & energetic invitation to the Turkish & Greek regions?
Are you looking to activate your ancestral lineage?
Have you always felt drawn to this area and aren't sure why?
Be a part of a sacred pilgrimage into the heart of the Aegean Region guided by Tara, Founder & Guide of Earth Tantra, and Nilgün, Yoga Instructor & Breath Coach. Heal and Awaken your spirit lines to connect with the ancient ones, while growing powerful divine feminine gifts as we rediscover and embrace shared lineage. We will utilize family constellation perspective, breath work, ritual and ceremony, earthing, shadow healing, Gaia's elemental wisdom, dance, nurturing yoga, mediation & wisdom of Goddess Hecate to navigate our life's path.
For Who? Anyone who is open to connecting with the ancestral divine feminine within between the ages of 18 - 88 years, and feels a connection to Turkey, Greece and the Mediterranean regions. Students are also ready to step outside of her comfort zone and do the work of ancestral healing by diving deep into energy work and facing both the light & shadows within. This is not an adventure vacation. We ask any additional site seeing is taken before or after the retreat time. This retreat focuses on divine feminine (Shakti) energies.
What? Gather in a sacre circle to awaken and heal our connections with the ancients. Journey with the sacred whispers of the past, present and future as we embody the energetic alignment and/or dna roots of the Aegean. Let's embrace our shared lineages and awaken the powers of dormant threads that connect us all in a rich tapestry of ancestry.
