Classical Greece and the Cyclades
15 days / 14 nights
~May 1-15, 2022~
In May 2022, drop your bags and burdens in Athens! Join Kate Mitcheom, MSN, CNM, RYT of Heart-Based Mindfulness, known for her international yoga- and mindfulness-based tours, accompanied by Art Historian Kathy Daniels, MA, and mindfulness and mindful yoga practitioner Lucia McBee, LCSW, MPH, CYI, known for her deep passion for Greek literature past and present, as they guide you on a unique meditative and cultural immersion.
Kate, Kathy, and Lucia have crafted a rare and unforgettable journey to Greece — an ancient and beautiful country with a deep tradition of mythology, poetry, philosophy, healing, and the arts. Glorious Greece will include visits to numerous historical and archaeological sites, graced by a unique combination of practical information from local guides, and deep insight and expertise from Kathy, our resident Art Historian. Lucia will offer a rich blend of ancient myth and modern poetry, to deepen our understanding of the connection between our present-day journeys and the odysseys of those who have gone before us. Kate will balance the outer exploration of Greece with opportunities for profound inner journeying, through guided mindfulness and meditation that encourage us to chart our inner worlds. Finally, assisted by Lucia, Kate will offer opportunities to anchor and nourish our physical bodies through daily, optional mindful movement. We are thrilled to co-create this offering for and with you. We look forward to a unique adventure as a community of intentional and mindful travelers.
Welcome to Glorious Greece!
