Sacred Waters Immersive
Meeting the Monk Seals, Nymphs of the Springs, and River Gods of Prehistoric & Ancient Greece
A Pilgrimage to the Ancient Waters
Join Priestess Elyse Welles for a mystical journey into the sacred waters of Greece — from volcanic coastlines to ancient riverhead sanctuaries. This retreat is an intimate, initiatory path into myth, spirit, and deep personal renewal.
We will move through land and legend, walking in ritual, bathing in healing waters, and communing with the oracles and spirits who still whisper beneath the surface.
This is for women who are ready to be held by the ancient wild — and by each other.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are we staying?
We will be staying in a private retreat villa with exclusive pool access, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Greek mountains. All rooms are located upstairs and feature their own balcony. You’ll receive full accommodation details after booking.
What airport should I fly into?
You should book your flight to Athens International Airport (ATH). Transportation to and from this airport is included in your retreat package.
Are meals included?
Yes! All meals and snacks are included and will be nourishing, local, and crafted to support our spiritual work. Dietary restrictions can usually be accommodated—please let us know in advance.
How physically demanding is this retreat?
The Sacred Waters Retreat is a journey of restoration, ritual, and reverence — not endurance. Our days are spaciously designed to support your nervous system, spark your creativity, and deepen your connection with the land and waters.
Most of our time will be spent in the comfort of our private villa, or gently visiting sacred springs, coastal sanctuaries, and forested rivers.
That said, please note:
-
The villa and some of the sacred sites include stairs, so a basic level of mobility is recommended.
-
There are no long hikes or intense physical activities required.
-
Our visit to Delphi includes a moderate uphill walk on stone paths, as the ancient sanctuary is built along the mountainside. We’ll move slowly, rest as needed, and make space for awe along the way.
If you have specific accessibility needs, you are warmly invited to reach out. We’ll do everything we can to support your journey with care and inclusivity.
