Our nine-day sojourn into the land of the Primordial Mothers is far more than a journey across an extraordinary landscape dotted with powerful temple complexes. It is a journey inward—a journey to rediscover, embrace, and integrate the Divine Feminine in all her facets.

Based in a hotel built in honor of Cybele and Artemis, we will move gently and quietly through this land, allowing ourselves to absorb the timeless energy that permeates it. Back at the hotel, we will engage in meditations, energy work, contemplations, and even hands-on healing.

This journey, this retreat, has the power to transform your life forever. Join us in the Land of the Mother, and reconnect with the Goddesses who are born from the rich soil of Anatolia, the heart of the Fertile Crescent.
