Rescheduled To 2024- Check Back Dec 2023

Greece & Turkey Pilgrimage Immersion Retreat

Do you feel an energetic connection to the Turkish & Greek Regions?
Are you a female looking to heal your ancestral lineage?
OR  ready to discover the ancient wisdom within?
 
Join Tara, Earth Tantra Guide, and Nilgun, Yoga Instructor & Breath Coach in a sisterhood pilgrimage journey from Turkey to Greece.    Heal & Awaken your heart & spirit lines to connect with the ancient ones while growing powerful divine feminine gifts.  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 identifies as female, 18 - 88 years, and feels a connection to Turkey, Greece and the Anatolia/ 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.

What?   Gather in a small intimate sisterhood circle to explore, deeper connect, awaken and heal our connections with the ancients.  Our commitment to holding a safe sacred space to express is important in this journey.  We ask that you approach this journey with an open heart.
