About this Retreat
Nicoletta Argyropoulos Founder (CEO) & Organizer | Energy Counselor |
Guardian of Sacred Space; Nicoletta is the organizational and spiritual force, the woman who knows how to anchor vision into matter.

With profound experience since 1994, she serves as a custodian of sacred energy, passing on the knowledge entrusted to her by her teachers & ancestors.
*
Her presence offers the safety and structure every soul needs to root and flourish.
*

Co-Organizer & Co-Founder of Path of Vision Hellas
Guide of Ancestral Meditations & Soul-Path Intuitive
Intuitive Author
Iris Delphinia acts as an intuitive bridge between the modern soul and ancestral memory. With a journey spanning over 25 years in spiritual exploration and alternative guidance, Iris specializes in leading ancestral meditations, creating sacred fields where silence is transformed into profound self-awareness.
*
As the Co-Founder of Path of Vision, she joins forces with Nicoletta Argyropoulos to facilitate mystical seminars dedicated to the awakening of the Divine Feminine energy.
Together, they offer the unique (c) Hellenic 4-Hands Body Ritual and Soul Session, a high-vibrational ceremony where their unified energies weave a tapestry of healing, restoring the body’s sacred symmetry and the soul's harmony.
*
Her approach is deeply experiential and archetypal. Following the whisper of intuition, Iris guides seekers through the layers of 'oblivion' to reclaim their sovereign truth. For Iris, self-realization is not a distant goal, but a sacred remembering of our connection to the Earth and the stardust within—a return to the source of the Feminine essence that flows through all existence.
*
Author of "The Primordial Remembrance": Through her initiatory writing, she crystallizes the modern return to the wisdom of the Goddess, offering a literary and experiential compass for the awakening of the Divine Feminine. The first book of Iris Delphinia is officially out!
The Primordial Remembrance A Mythopoetic Initiation into the Sacred Feminine.
Languages she speaks:
Her mother tongue is the Hellene language.
She also speaks English.
For further translations, Nicoletta is supporting her.
Details of this retreat
Are you hearing the call?
There is a place where the mountains meet the deep blue of the Aegean, where ancient chestnut forests whisper secrets of the Dryads, and where the earth itself is laced with crystalline veins of quartz. This is Mount Pelion—the mythical "Garden of the Gods."
From June 18th to 22nd, 2027, around the time of the Summer Solstice, we invite a small circle of maximum 8 women to experience Pelion with us.
This is not a conventional holiday or a retreat where you simply follow a programme.
It is an intimate journey into the land, its plants, its stories, its feminine roots — and into your own connection with them.
Guided by the Spirit of the Land.
You will not be guided by strangers, but by daughters of this very soil.
I am Nicoletta, and Pelion is my home. This is my earth, the energy of my ancestors is everywhere, and it is the place where my soul breathes. Together with Iris, who is also Hellene (Greek) and knows the deep magic of this land intimately, we hold a space of absolute authenticity. We don't just know the paths; we are part of the landscape’s living history and its guardians.
The Experience
During these five days, you will have space to explore Pelion through nature, plants, incense work, perception and inner exploration.
Practical Incense Work
· Encountering different plants individually
· Processing plant material yourself
· Grinding and preparing your own incense blends
· Learning different ways of working with incense
· Consciously observing and perceiving smoke
Perception & Inner Work
· Meditations with Iris
· Perception practices
· Body and sensory awareness
· Encounters with nature
· Practices of conscious observation and recognition
· Space for your own experiences
There will be guidance, but also space.
Space to walk.
Space to listen.
Space to be quiet.
Space to observe.
Space to let the land speak in its own way.
The Summer Solstice
The Solstice gives us a natural point of orientation during our time together.
We will honour this turning point through nature, ritual, fire and conscious presence — creating space to pause, reflect and reconnect with what is important to us.
Why Pelion?
Pelion has a high-vibrational vortex that amplifies transformation. It doesn't call everyone - it calls those ready to look into the mirror of their own soul. With two native guides who understand the ancient whispers of the mountain, you will find that you didn't travel to find someone new, but to finally be the woman you were born to be.
This is why I want to share it - not as something to be collected or imitated, but as a living place that can be encountered directly.
The group is intentionally small, with a maximum of 8 participants, allowing us to travel together in an intimate and personal way.
