Autumn/Winter 2018




As the outer light dims
may your inner light shine forth...




We have left behind us the long sun drenched beaches, luscious forests, gardens that lured us into their secrets, so many heart-filled connections, and profound sharings of the our summer journey to the eastern realms of our country and to Cape Town.

We now embark upon a cooler path, rich in its own way with quieter moments of explorations ... journeying into the intriguing and fascinatiing Greek Mysteries. Our new Story and Art experience, Mythos and Logos, will be held in McGregor at Temenos Retreat and our new home and KalloSophia venue, Acacia Grove. It will lead us into the very heart of ourselves.

 We warmly invite you to join us in The Well at Temenos Retreat on Friday Evening 8 June 2018 to hear about the background of Greek Mythology, be introduced to the gods Apollo and Dionysos, both very active in the Oracle and Mystery Centre of Delphi; and the story of Orpheus and Euridice, all embedded in the Greek Mysteries. 


They were called Mystery Centres because those who entered them underwent a path of inner development leading to spiritual experiences separate from everyday life.  The knowledge, insight and understanding gained from these experiences served and enriched the social and cultural life of the ancient Greeks, and still resonate for us today. 


 On the Saturday you will be guided to choose images from the story, which speak to you personally, and to explore them in charcoal and pastels. (No previous art experience needed.) Our aim is for each of you to find something unique that touches your soul, helping you to deepen your sense of meaning and purpose in your life... and to have a little bit of fun!  


 Sharing this process with others weaves social magic, and warm friendships develop. We end with a time of reflection together, and we all leave enriched and en-souled.
