Description
The Solo Retreat at Ariadne’s Garden is a minimum two-night immersive experience designed as a gentle return to your heart, offering space to rest deeply, reconnect with your inner vision, and realign with the wisdom of your soul. Set within the mystagogical landscape of Ariadne’s Garden near Delphi, this retreat invites you to slow down, listen inward, and be nourished by nature, creativity, and presence.
During your stay, you are encouraged to make full use of the garden, creative spaces, and art studio, allowing the land itself to support reflection, inspiration, and grounding. Through expressive arts, myth-based exploration, and cellular breathing workshops, you are guided to reconnect with your own inner garden in a way that feels organic, intuitive, and deeply personal.
The retreat includes private accommodation, with access to a shared kitchen, all creative and movement spaces, art studio materials, and the surrounding gardens. Brunch and dinner are thoughtfully prepared according to your dietary preferences, inspired by a nourishing Mediterranean kitchen, supporting both rest and vitality throughout your stay. Transportation to and from the nearest bus station is included to ensure a smooth and easeful arrival.
Your solo journey is supported by carefully curated sessions, including a Hatha and Somatics Yoga practice to ground the body and nervous system, and an intuitive painting session that invites self-expression beyond words. The rhythm of each day is soft and adaptable, with core activities generally taking place between 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM, leaving ample space for rest, nature time, and integration.
Optional add-on experiences are available to further personalize your retreat, such as guided visits to the Oracle of Delphi and hidden sacred sites, excursions to hot and cold springs, healing massage, Yoga Nidra and pranayama, or expressive dance therapy. These sessions allow you to tailor the experience to your current needs, whether they are restorative, creative, or deeply transformative.
Each Solo Retreat is personally visualized and organized around your individual intentions, ensuring that the experience unfolds in alignment with your energy, pace, and inner call. Ariadne’s Garden offers not a schedule to follow, but a safe and nurturing container in which you can truly come home to yourself.
