The program “Travel and Search for the Archetypes” offers a trip to Greece, combined with an inner journey to self-knowledge and self-awareness. It is a quest aimed at discovering the healing archetypes that slumber within us. This should be achieved through a respectful application of modern therapy. These approaches are combined with the corresponding ancient Greek conception and practice in order to enable a unique therapeutic experience for each of the travel participants.

The method combines systemic and archetypal constellations with spiritual-therapeutic guided tours to relevant ancient Greek sanctuaries. The tour is guided by Dr. Dimitris Stavropoulos and assisted by experienced staff.

Note: The daily routine below is intended as a guide. It can easily be modified to suit the ongoing needs and concerns of the participants.
