COMMUNICATING THROUGH THE VEIL

A Two-Week Immersion for the Heart, Soul and Senses

An intimate journey into the unknown, where love and longing become a language across worlds- and the beauty around us deepens the unfolding within.

 

Why Here? Why Now?

Maybe there’s a part of you — quiet but insistent — that senses there’s something here. A message. A meeting. A remembering.

You don’t need to know exactly why. Only that you’re being called.

This retreat may be calling you if you...

  • Are Seeking to Make Meaning from Loss or Longing

  • Are Spiritually Sensitive or Curious about the Unseen Realms

  • Have a Creative Soul Craving Community

  • Have Felt the Presence of Loved Ones Beyond This Life

  • Are Seeking a Bridge Between Science, Spirit and the Mystery

  • Feel Drawn to the Soul of Crete and It’s Ancient Energy

 
 
 
 

Energy always exists and the abillity to connect never truly ends yet...

Across cultures and time, it is said that late October and early November is the season when the veil between worlds is thinnest-when it may be easiest for the living to communicate with the dead.

In this window of time, it may be easier...

  • To Communicate and listen across the veil

  • To Believe in the Signs, the Dreams, the Whispers

  • To deepen and ongoing relationship with those no longer in physical form

We gather at this time to remember what has always been true-and to access what is always available.

  • Ongoing Relationship with the Great Oneness- Spirit, Source, the Unseen Collective Energy that Connects All Life

  • Ongoing Relationship with those on the Other Side

  • A Shared Journey of Learning, Growing, Healing and Loving

 

Intentions

  • Strengthen Belief in the Reality of Connections in this Liminal Time

  • Listen for Subtle and Surprising Forms of Communication

  • Send and Receive Clear Messages

  • Continue these Relationships Long After the Retreat Ends

How We'll Be Together

 
 
 

This retreat will be shaped by the group who gathers, the wisdom that rises, and the spirit of the land. Each day will unfold in relationship with the material, the energy and the shared presence of those who attend. Practices and rituals will emerge organically - from joy, from grief, from longing, from love and from Spirit.

Some examples of what we may experience together:

  • Guided Meditations and Deep Listening

  • Writing, Reflection and Sharing

  • Sounding, Movement and Gentle Yoga

  • Psychosynthesis Techniques for Exploring your inner Landscape and Your Place in the Greater Whole

  • Cozy Movie Nights, Music and Poetry Circles Focused on the Mysteries of Death, Grief, and Communication Through the Veil

  • Open, Heart-Centered Group Discussions

These offerings will be held within a rhythm that includes spacious time for rest, integration and exploration - whether soaking in the quiet of your cottage, walking the hillside paths, floating in turquoise waters off Cretan beaches, or sharing meals in a nearby village taverna.

Where We'll Be

The retreat will be held at Natura Cottages in Aspros Potamos, Crete - a 16th-century rural settlement beautifully restored in a conscious eco-village nestled among olive groves and carob trees. Natura is a place of high environmental sensitivity and soulful calm, offering stunning views of the Mediterranean, total tranquility, and proximity to the traditional fishing village of Makry-Gialos.

This protected valley- Aspros Potamos (“White River”)- is designated as an environmentally significant area by the Greek government. Guests will breathe in the salty breeze, relax among pine and citrus trees, and rest in cottages built from stone and earth, each preserving the essence of a historic mountain village.

Located just a 10-minute walk from the sea, Natura Cottages is more than a venue: it is a return to timeless living, to stillness, and to a deeper connection with nature and memory.

“In the 16th century restored rural settlement of Natura, the cottages preserve the architecture and aesthetic style of the mountainous area of Eastern Crete. Reconstructed with attention to detail, they hold something of the atmosphere, the remembrance, and imprint of its former inhabitants, bringing them to the present for our guests. ”
 

Your Guides

This retreat will be guided by facilitators committed to holding space with reverence, attunement and loving curiosity. Each brings their own expansive educational training, experience, sensitivity and devotion to the work of connection, healing and creative expression. Final facilitator list to be announced.

Lodging

There are two fees. One is for lodging. The other is for the retreat fee.

We will be lodging in 7 cottages. Each cottage has unique pricing based on its size and sleeping arrangement, ranging from €753 to €1383 (for the entire cottage.) Cottages are in the style of a home (not dormitory) so, it would be difficult to decide for you who will sleep in which cottage. We ask that one person chooses a preferred cottage for a family or group. You will do this during registration. If anyone plans to travel alone and wishes to share a cottage, let us know. We will do our best to help you find your “family or group!”

  • All retreat programming and facilitation including daily practices, rituals and group connection

  • Local outings to beaches, caves, village shops and other wonders of the land and culture

    • Food preference form sent after payment

The retreat fee is less when you register sooner. Because registration is under construction, the specials have been extended. Below is the current time table.
