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 Journey
This is a very special offering where we’ll spend the first 5 nights 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 visit the Asclepius Temple and weave with land and myth to curate practices and experiences that will call us closer to the language of Soul. We will travel to Delphi, via a sanctuary of Hera, for the last 2 nights, to visit the Oracle and ask for messages from The Pythia.
This is both immersion and retreat, pilgrimage and portal. A gathering of close community and new friends, you are so welcome and we have two spaces left.

The Practices
Each day will begin with an optional sleep circle where you can slowly wake to the morning as we lay on the terrace and listen to the land and the morning birds. We’ll slip into dream circle, whispering dream to the land, each other or just taking time to journal and be in silence.
Each morning at the villa will include a movement practice where we’ll weave with the stories, the land and the energies of the group to curate immersive, somatic journeys to awaken the imaginal and the wisdom of the underworld.
There will be lots of free time with afternoon workshops where we might offer Process work, Active Imagination and Authentic Movement. Evenings will include mugwort ceremony, dream circle and storytelling.
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. Lib will also be offering 121 embodied dream weaving sessions and our guest Aida will ofer shiatsu.

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.

Shiatsu with Aida
We have the wonderful Aida Po offering shiatsu massage to our guests. You can book your spot directly with her below.
Aida began her body-mind-spirit related practice with yoga and has been teaching since 2014. Shiatsu came to her life just a little later and was a beautiful and significant discovery leading her to study the five elements Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Tao. Shiatsu became her gateway to offering this sacred bodywork since 2018.
Aida sees the body as a temple, a vessel, where energy points and paths interconnect in their flow and express the entire universe within. Shiatsu is full body hands on treatment, with its base in meridians of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Through listening touch, stretches and movements this practice invokes body-mind to return to a homeostasis: equilibrium where natural healing takes place.
