MYTHOSOMA
AN EMBODIED MYTHOLOGY RETREAT IN GREECE
JUNE 10-17 2025
Retreat to Greece and awaken to the imaginal, to dream and to the wisdom of the body through this magical pilgrimage and retreat. Curated by On The Soul’s Terms and Samāveśa, we’ll weave Greek mythology with somatic practice to breathe Psyche awake and open up the channel for creativity, insight and inspiration. Through storytelling, dreamwork, somatics, movement, meditation and pilgrimage to sacred sites, we’ll work with the land and the body to tune into the mysteries of the soul.

The Venue
This is a very special offering at a luxury villa in the heartlands of the Peloponnese, around 2 hours from Athens. We will be nestled away on a lush private property, with horses, goats, figs and Cypress trees as our allies and companions. Surrounded by mountains, olive groves and the Saronic Gulf, we’ll journey out on pilgrimage and journey in through practice.
High Groves is a luxury villa and private 400 acre estate near the sea and wrapped on all sides by hillside and seclusion. Located in Argolis, 15 minutes from Epidavros, we will be travelling out on pilgrimage to two (possibly 3) sacred sites and we’ll also leave space in the schedule to feel into what else we might like to do as a group, such as hiking, beach, horse riding etc.

The Practices
We will enjoy alternating days out to sacred sites with rest days in between, to tune into the liminal, reflect, journal and move our experiences through our bodies. We’ll hold dream circles, tell stories round the fire, enjoy epic feasts and weave myth and image with somatic practice and movement. This is open and accessible to all bodies and you don’t need any experience of somatics or yoga to join. We will curate to the level of the group.
Chris will design personal practices based on your natal chart, we’ll play with Astrodrama and gather in the dream chamber each day, to sink into the magic of Psyche.
Libby Rose Waite will be our resident Dream Witch and she will also be leading a movement practice with her powerful gift for weaving story, image and dream into the body.
Collette will be offering Embodied Flow practices that weave philosophy with meditation, ritual and movement to slip beneath the mind and drop into the somatic unconscious.

Your Guides
Tantric philosophy and depth psychology are the keystones for our work but it is Psyche who takes us all by the hand and guides the way. As we enter into this magical constellation of beings, we will slip into the dark corridors and grand hallways of dream, synchronicity, symbol and Source.
