Mystical Crete: In Reverence to the Goddess

12–18 October 2026

A Sacred Journey of Awakening, Connection, and Remembrance 

This mystical week in Crete invites us to revere the Goddess within and around us - to reconnect with the ancient wisdom, beauty, and mystery that live both in the land and within our own being.

Crete is more than an island. It is a living portal where awakened consciousness can emerge - a place where the union of masculine and feminine qualities may be explored, nurtured, and embodied with gentleness and balance. Through the memory of the land, the unfolding of myth and history, and the whispers of ancient mysteries, we are invited into a deeper relationship with ourselves and the world around us.

Together, we will explore, inquire, feel, learn, and open to the profound mystery of self and other. Held within a safe and supportive environment, this journey creates space for transformation, release, rejuvenation, and awakening through deep soul remembrance.

Allow yourself to be carried by the true nature of Being, reconnecting with the empowering essence of the Divine Feminine that resides within us all - women and men alike.

This sacred week is open to all who feel called: women, men, and children.

We will be delighted and honored to welcome you and guide you on this journey.

With love, gratitude, and reverence,
Marianna, Bhadra & Dia 

What to Expect During This Sacred Week

This journey through mystical Crete is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and open ourselves to the wisdom held by the land, the body, and the soul.
Throughout the week, we will weave together moments of exploration, reflection, connection, and renewal. Each day will offer opportunities to deepen our relationship with ourselves, with one another, and with the ancient spirit of Crete.

A Journey Through the Wisdom of the Land

Together, we will explore the sacred landscapes of Crete, allowing the memory of the land to guide us. Through nature, mythology, history, and places of ancient significance, we will open ourselves to the stories and mysteries that have been carried through generations.

Practices of Connection & Awakening

The week will include spaces for:
• Meditation and inner reflection
• Embodiment practices and conscious movement
• Sacred circle gatherings and sharing
• Guided explorations and inquiries
• Connection with nature and the elements

Marianna Tsili

A few words about Marianna Tsili

Marianna Tsili was born and raised in Athens, Greece - a land where mythology, history, and spirit still breathe through the mountains, seas, and ancient stones. From a young age, she felt a deep connection to the archetypal energies of her homeland and the invisible threads that link myth with the soul.

Her path weaves together cultural studies, writing, and spiritual practice with a calling to create experiences that awaken remembrance. As the founder of Mystical Greece, Marianna guides seekers through sacred landscapes not only as a traveler’s journey, but as an initiation into inner transformation.

Her work blends mythic storytelling, archetypal wisdom, energy practices, meditation, and somatic exploration, always with an emphasis on presence, observation, and embodied integration. For her, ancient sites are mirrors - reflecting the parts of ourselves that long to be seen and reclaimed.

In this retreat, Marianna brings her love for Crete, her sensitivity to the unseen, and her ability to hold safe, transformative space. Her deepest intention is to help participants listen to the land, reconnect with the wisdom within, and awaken their own inner feminine essence, regardless of gender.

Bhadra

A few words about Bhadra

Bhadra is an intuitive therapist from Brazil with over 12 years of clinical experience and with a postgraduate degree in Analytical Psychology, with an emphasis on mythology, tales, and the arts.

A devoted pilgrim to the Goddess, she has traveled extensively through India and other countries for over a decade to deepen her meditation practices and studies. Bhadra is deeply passionate about mythology and reclaiming the pre-patriarchal myths, including the ones of Greece and Crete—an island she deeply loves, having participated in Marianna’s first pilgrimage there.

Viewing her collaboration in this retreat as a form of worship, Bhadra is dedicated to holding a welcoming space and nurturing every participant. To further support your journey, she is also available to provide Portuguese and Spanish translations throughout the retreat.
