A healing retreat organised by
The Dao of the soul
Sailing in the Mediterranean, meeting ourselves
“As you set out for Ithaka hope your road is a long one, full of adventure and discovery…
Keep Ithaka always in your mind.
Arriving there is what you’re destined for.
But don’t hurry the journey at all.
Better if it lasts for years, so you’re old by the time you reach the island, wealthy with all you’ve gained on the way, not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.
Ithaka gave you a marvelous journey. Without her, you wouldn’t have set out. She has nothing left to give you now.
And if you find her poor, Ithaka won’t have fooled you.
Wise as you will have become, so full of experience, you’ll have understood by then what this Ithaka means”
C. P. Cavafy, “The City” from C.P. Cavafy: Collected Poems. Translated by Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard. Translation

Who am I?
Where does desire take me?
How can I find myself in the centre of my being, in that ‘void’ – Ithaka – full of meaningful silence, peace, and creativity?
How can my Life resonate with Dao, nature, heaven, earth: the whole?
How can I contact that centre which is at the same time the journey and the destination?
Come, join us!
Let silence be our guide. Let’s dare setting off and discovering the ‘how’ on the way, in the ‘now, in the colourful and multi-flavoured presents that this adventure called ‘life’ offers us.
Let’s write our life’s narrative in a way that emphasises the journey, not the destination.
Let’s sail and discover that the ‘treasure’ we hunt has always been with us.
Let us take you by the hand,
and invite you into a world, where
the powerful presence of the Greek heroes and gods
meets the magic of the Chinese healing arts.
