About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

The Navaratri meditation retreats give you a authentic experience of Traditional Tantra sadhana as part of the auspicious festival called Navaratri, which are periods within the changes of the season when the energy of Shakti is more accessible and useful for meditation.

The retreats offers a profound introduction where you participate in creating a live Yantra of the divine feminine in the form of one of Maha Vidyas of Tantra. With the support of the group energy together we meditate 3 hours a day with a specific mantra for this energy. These practices are coming from our lineage Shivoham Tantra.

Alongside this Tantric immersion, Yorgos offers a meditation study from the Vignan Bhairav Tantra. You will be taught 10 additional meditation techniques that are classified in this ancient text as tools for concentration, the techniques come into different categories to help individuals to find the right technique for their typology.

A study such as this is very helpful for spiritual growth both as a practitioner and as a teacher. The Vignan Bhairav tantra is a sacred text coming from Kashmir Shaivism, and is a practical guide with 112 techniques that help to reveal the consciousness within.

The retreat location is set on the east side of mountain of Olympus, Greece, overlooking the Aegean Sea. The nature is beyond stunning, the location is remoted and quiet and there are various walks you can enjoy in the break times.

Yorgos is an experienced meditation teacher and will support each person as needed in the overall schedule and process of the retreat, so rest assured the schedule will be applied as needed per individual.

Alongside Yorgos, there will be two other established teachers, who have both trained within Satya Loka, who will guide the Yoga Classes and be there to support the group and process.

Directions

We understand the travel can feel daunting, so we’re here to offer support every step of the way.

The closest airport to the venue is Thessaloniki, and the closest towns to us are Litochoro and Leptokarya, it is easily approachable by train or bus from Athens and Thessaloniki. The distance from Thessaloniki is 1,5 hours and from Athens 3,5 hours. Buses are reliable, cheap and comfortable. Trains are excellent but connect only the big cities and are not as frequent as the buses.
