Freedom Folk and Soul Presents:
WE ARE THE ONES WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR
12-day Spiritual Journey to Greece
October 15 – October 26, 2025
RETREAT TO GREECE!
You are invited to join Stephanie Urbina Jones, Jeremy Pajer, and Jorge Luis Delgado on a 12-day spiritual journey to Greece. Together, we’ll explore the profound beauty and history of sacred sites like Delphi, Meteora, and the healing sanctuary of Asclepius.
From the embers of ancient times to the present, the Western world has basked in the glorious sun and inspiration of the Greek myths. These magnificent tales are deeply embedded in our culture and collective unconscious, ready to be awakened and woven into the tapestry of our living today. The spirits of the gods are alive, then and now, in the land, the people, and all of us.
Together, on this pilgrimage, we will step into the beauty and power of these sacred sites, where we will be inspired by the history of one of humankind’s most extraordinary periods of cultural and intellectual transformation. From this prolific era sprang the very essence of Western civilization, our poetry and architecture, our sciences, and our democratic form of government.
Greek author Nicholas Gage wrote, “In the 5th century before Christ, an unprecedented idea arose from a small Greek city on the dusty plains of Attica and exploded over the Western Hemisphere like the birth of a new sun. Its light has warmed and illuminated us ever since.
Bringing together their cultural wisdom and pathways of transformation, you will be lovingly guided by Incan shaman and world mystic Jorge Luis Delgado, Toltec teacher and Lakota wisdom keeper Jeremy Pajer, and master dreamer, singer, songwriter and artist of life Stephanie Urbina Jones as they share solar practices, Sacred Journey Breathwork, Toltec wisdom, Peruvian wisdom within with the backdrop of one of the most potent mythical places on the planet.
On this adventure of enlightenment, we will travel to the sacred sites of Athens, Island of Kos, the plane tree where Hippocrates was said to teach medicine, the charming seaside town of Zia, The sanctuary of Asclepius, a healing center of the ancient world, the Cave of an Apocalypse, The Delphi, considered by the Ancients as the center of the world, the place of consultation of the oracle of Apollo, the Monasteries of Meteora, Pnyx Hill overlooking the Acropolis and more where the forces of nature that surround us will reflect the spirits of the Greek gods that never went away and are very much alive today.
As we step back in time and understand these living stories, we understand ourselves and the world around us as we weave the golden threads of the ancient to the present, discovering what meaning this land that inspired so much life and the great gods of Olympus might have for us today.
your SACRED GREECE Journey includes
Welcome to Athens
Arrive in the historic heart of Greece, where ancient wonders meet modern vibrance. Transfer to your hotel and relax before the adventure begins.
Fly to Kos – The Island of Hippocrates
Experience the legend of the Hippocratic Plane Tree, which is said to be where medicine began over 2,000 years ago! The serene energy sets the stage for your spiritual journey.
Discover Zia Village
Explore Zia’s charming streets and marvel at a breathtaking sunset over the Aegean Sea. Savor a traditional meal in this tranquil haven.
Healing at the Sanctuary of Asclepius & Therma Beach
The sanctuary of Asclepius, dating from the 4th century BC, is dedicated to the healing god Asclepius.
Situated on a magnificent green hill overlooking the Aegean Sea, this sanctuary is one of the most prominent healing centers of the ancient world. Channeling this place of healing will reveal valuable information to us.
It is the hospital of ancient times located on the lower south of the Acropolis and west of the Theater of Dionysus. Inside the Asclepieion was a small temple worshiping the god of medicine, Asclepius, with his daughter Hygeia. Asclepius was the son of Apollo and a mortal woman, Koronis.
Lunch at a local taverna, then on to the beach!
October is the ideal month to enjoy the warm waters of Therma Beach. The hot spring that flows down to meet the Aegean right on the beach, forms a sort of sea-pool where the hot water mixes with the seawater. The water’s temperature ranges between 42 – 50 degrees Celsius (100 – 120 Fahrenheit) – the closer you get to the source, the warmer the water! While into this sort of natural pool, which is actually surrounded by stones to keep the water relatively limited, visitors get to feel an underwater tickling as a result of bubbles percolating up through the water. This phenomenon is caused by volcanic gases being pushed to the surface from the sea bed!
These natural volcanic springs bear healing properties, as they contain elements rich in Calcium, Potassium, Sodium, Sulphur and Magnesium, ingredients that are considered instrumental for curing skin, arthritic or rheumatic diseases. Plus, hot spring bathing helps blood circulation and cell oxygenation, improving our body’s digestive and detoxifying capabilities. Swim in and out of the natural hot thermal springs for the ultimate revitalising experience!
Nisyros – The Volcanic Wonder
Sail to Nisyros, the youngest volcano in the Aegean. Explore the Stefanos Crater, one of the world’s best-preserved. Visit Mandraki village, then marvel at volcanic landscapes and panoramic views.
Sacred Patmos
Cruise to Patmos and tour the Monastery of Evangelismos, a tranquil oasis offering breathtaking vistas. Stroll through the island’s serene landscapes and connect with its mystical energy.
The island is home to a convent of nuns: the Monastery of the Annunciation. Surrounded by greenery, it offers a magnificent panorama of the entire island.
We will head to the Convent of Evangelismos to admire its gardens and the breathtaking view. The first church of the convent dates back to 1613 and is dedicated to St. Luke. The beginning of the convent dates back to 1937, while the collection of its icons dates back to between the 15th and 17th centuries.
Cave of the Apocalypse & Chora
The beloved disciple of Jesus Christ, John, was exiled in 95 AD and found refuge in a cave located on the hill between Skala and Chora.
It was in the cave of the apocalypse that John the Evangelist heard the voice of God coming from a crack in the rock, and he wrote “The Apocalypse” or “Book of Revelation”: the revelation of nature true of beings and things.
Revelations await you there.
CHORA- Characterized by its dazzling white houses, this village perched in the middle of the Cyclades has a rich historical heritage. You will appreciate its small streets, its mills or its chapels with blue domes.
MONASTERY OF SAINT JOHN – Pilgrims from all over the world come to this magnificent site which dominates the city. It is indeed a major place of pilgrimage and initiation.
Oropos Sanctuary & Delphi
Explore the Amphiareion of Oropos, an ancient healing sanctuary where hypnotherapy was practiced. Travel to Delphi, home to the famed Oracle of Apollo, set on Mount Parnassus.
Delphi’s Sacred Way & Kalambaka
Clinging to a foothill of Mount Parnassus, considered by the Ancients as the center of the world, the sanctuary of Delphi was the place of consultation of the oracle of Apollo, which was delivered by the famous Pythia. While admiring views of the splendid landscape, we will follow the Sacred Way, once lined with rich treasures, to the stadium, passing by the temple of the god and the theater. The oracle of Delphi, pronounced by the Pythia, was consulted for 1200 years and considered the navel of the universe.
Mystical Meteora and Journey to Attica
Start your day by visiting the awe-inspiring Meteora monasteries, perched dramatically atop towering sandstone pillars. Marvel at the ingenuity and dedication of monks who built these spiritual havens high above the ground, offering breathtaking views and profound serenity. Of the original 24 monasteries, only five remain active, showcasing centuries-old art and architecture. Enjoy lunch at a traditional tavern before traveling to the Attica region, where your day concludes with dinner and an overnight stay.
Athenian Legacy and the Heights of Wisdom
Begin with a visit to the iconic Acropolis, the “Upper City,” crowned by the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, and the Temple of Athena Nike. Immerse yourself in Athens’ spiritual and cultural heart, where marble monuments tell stories of ancient wisdom and divine protection. After lunch at a traditional tavern, explore Socrates’ Prison on Philopappos Hill, where philosophy’s foundations were laid. Conclude at Pnyx Hill, the cradle of Athenian democracy, offering panoramic views of the Acropolis and a reflective space for deep connection.
