Journey to the Heart of Greece

· Dwell in Myth and Ancient Landscape
· Step through a Portal of Renewal and Soul Presence
· Experience Soul Retrieval and Deeper Wholeness
· Enter a multidimensional threshold and expand your reality 

Step into the New Year amidst ancient landscapes, mythic echoes, and soul-centering practices. This journey is an invitation to renewal, presence, and remembrance.

Friday, 26th December 2025 - Friday, 2nd January 2026 

If you feel drawn to greet the New Year on sacred land — to touch something deeper than a simple celebration — then this journey is for you.
Join us on a journey of a lifetime through ancient and powerful landscapes in Greece. You will be guided through myth, story, breath, movement, and silence to connect more deeply with yourself, the divine, and others.

Written in stone, whispered through water, and carried on the wind are messages of remembrance — ancient echoes waiting to be reclaimed by those ready to receive the medicine of soul.

Sometimes, whether consciously or not, we are called to places that hold fragments of our essence — threads from other lifetimes and timelines, waiting to be re-woven into the tapestry of our being. This journey is such a passage.

During this 7-day journey, we will move through the landscapes of northern and central Greece not merely as travelers, but as seekers — attuning to the deep intelligence of the land, the memory held in myth, and the subtle transmissions still alive at these ancient sites.

This is an opportunity to connect with the heart and soul of Greece in a unique and multidimensional way. We will weave myth, story, and history to follow the thread of Ariadne, shedding light on aspects of the psyche that yearn to be seen.

From the most ancient oracle of Dodoni, where myth meets the secret power of trees and sound, to Delphi, the navel of the earth, where we will greet the New Year with light-language, humming, and sunrise ceremony — each visit holds significance for soul alignment and embodied nourishment. The healing waters of Thermopylai offer purification and renewal. Meteora acts as a tuning fork, its rocky formations reaching the heavens with grace and force, calling us to do the same with our spirit. In Ioannina, we pause by the lake and mountains — a moment of softness before entering the great oracular sites of Greece.

Each location will hold a transmission, a portal, a mirror.

Our days will begin in sacred circle — meditation, prayer, intention-setting — attuning to the energy of each place. Throughout the day, we will walk the land and enter its stories, guided by myth, history, and inner connection.
Evenings will invite integration through sharing circles, movement, conscious dance, yoga, breathwork, journaling, Taoist practices, or meditative stillness.

You will stay in handpicked boutique accommodations — many with spa facilities — where warmth, comfort, and water support your body in softening and renewal.

This retreat is for those who are not only curious about Greece, but devoted to touching the sacred — within and without.
It is for those who feel that travel can be an initiation, a return, a remembering, a threshold.

If you feel the call to begin 2026 in presence, unity, and light, this journey is for you.

Spaces are limited to keep the circle intimate.

Marianna Tsili

A few words about your Guide

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 Greece, 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 step into the New Year aligned with soul.

The Places We Will Visit

athens

Athens

A vibrant city where ancient and modern worlds meet. Under the gaze of the Parthenon, the wisdom of goddess Athena still whispers — guiding us to open the journey with clarity, vision, and empowerment. Here we set our intentions before stepping into the deeper mysteries of Greece’s sacred landscapes.

thermopylae

Thermopylae

A land of healing waters and heroic memory. The hot springs invite purification and renewal, while the nearby battlefield of Leonidas and the 300 reminds us of courage, resilience, and devotion to a higher cause. Here we begin the journey by cleansing and purifying our body, heart, and mind.

meteora

Meteora

Once the bed of an ancient sea, this land still holds the memory of water within its stone. Over millions of years, the seabed rose and was sculpted by wind, river, and time into towering pillars that reach toward the heavens. Monasteries now crown these formations, suspended between earth and sky. Meteora is both ocean and mountain, depth and height — a tuning fork for the spirit, calling us to rise while staying rooted in the ancient waters of remembrance.

Ioannina & Lake Pamvotis

Ioannina & Lake Pamvotis

Nestled among mountains and embraced by a shimmering lake, Ioannina is a town where history and legend intertwine. Its Byzantine castle, later shaped by Ottoman rule, still lives and breathes within its stone walls, carrying echoes of emperors, poets, and the dramatic tales of Ali Pasha. The tranquil waters of Lake Pamvotis, with their mysterious island, invite stillness and reflection — offering us a pause of softness and depth before entering the great oracular sites of Greece.

Dodoni Oracle

Dodoni Oracle

The oldest oracle of Greece, Dodoni was first a sanctuary of Gaia, the Earth Mother, before later becoming dedicated to Zeus and Dione. Here, the voice of the divine was carried through the rustling of oak leaves, the flight of doves, and the sound of bronze vessels — messages of nature itself. This primal and earth-rooted oracle reminds us that wisdom is not separate from the land but flows through its stones, trees, and wind, inviting us to listen with the whole body and feel with the eyes of the soul.

Delphi

Delphi

Before it became the radiant sanctuary of Apollo, Delphi was first an oracle of Gaia (just like Dodoni was), and was guarded by the great serpent Python. In its earliest form, the wisdom of the earth spoke here through chthonic powers and the deep mysteries of the underworld. When Apollo claimed the site by slaying the Python, the oracle shifted from the voice of the Earth Mother to the light of prophecy, vision, and divine order. Thus Delphi holds both currents — the ancient, feminine power of Gaia and the solar clarity of Apollo — making it a place where earth and sky, shadow and light, converge at the navel of the world.
