Walk the sacred sites of Greece with me
Astrology pilgrimages to the places where the ancient myths and mysteries were born
Dates to be Announced | Small group, places limited
High on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, the air is still and the stones are warm. You walk the path that kings and shepherds and ordinary people walked for a thousand years to ask the oracle their questions. Somewhere along the way, you realise you’ve already started asking yours. And the land has begun to answer. By the time you reach the temple, Apollo has your attention. He’s no longer the Apollo of your books. He’s the one whose temple this was, and he has been waiting on this mountainside for you to arrive. This is what we come to Greece for. Not just the photographs or the tour, but the chance to meet these gods and goddesses in the places that belonged to them. You move in a small group held with care, alongside someone who has walked these stones many times and knows what they can do.
What this experience is
Sacred Connections is a pilgrimage of soul and memory. For fifteen days, a small group of us will walk the ancient pathways of mainland Greece and the Ionian islands together, moving through the places where the Greek myths were born. The temples of Apollo, Athena, Demeter and Poseidon. The oracle at Delphi. The healing sanctuary of Asclepius and Hygeia at Epidavros. Olympia. Sounion. The caves, rivers and mountains the old stories belong to.
But we’re not there just to look at ruins. We’re there to evoke these gods and goddesses, to open ourselves to the wisdom held within these sacred landscapes, and to let the land work on us. The Greek gods and goddesses are the same archetypal energies that move through your astrology chart. Your Mars, your Venus, your Mercury, your Moon. The asteroid goddesses too, if you know them.
Standing in the place that belonged to Apollo, or sitting in the theatre at Epidavros where people came to be healed by Asclepius, these archetypes stop being concepts you’ve studied and start to come alive. You experience them in your body, and you feel them awaken in the land.
By the time we reach Sounion on the final day and watch the sun set into the sea behind Poseidon’s temple, something in you will have shifted. You’ll come home knowing yourself a little differently.
What you’ll leave with
You’ll leave with a felt sense of the gods and goddesses as living archetypal forces, not just mythological figures.
Once you’ve stood in the places that belonged to them, their stories come alive and you’ll never see them the same way again.
- You’ll get a new way of working with the energies in your own chart. The planets, the asteroids, the myths threaded through your placements. Not as concepts you’ve studied, but as forces you’ve walked with and brought into your body.
- You’ll get real time for yourself. Most of us spend our lives looking after other people, holding things together, or showing up for everyone else. Greece is fifteen days where you stop, breathe, and remember who you were before all of that.
- You’ll get a deeper, evolutionary understanding of how the archetypes carry the unresolved memory you came in with, and what they are now asking you to embody in this lifetime. This is the energetic and intuitive lens I bring, and it’s different from a more intellectual approach to the same material.
- You’ll make new friendships with fellow travellers who get it. The group stays small for a reason. By day three you’ll know each other. By day fifteen you’ll be planning to meet up again at home.
- You’ll leave with a body that’s been fed delicious food, walked beautiful places, swum in the Mediterranean and experienced the places you’ve dreamed of.

About Your Host
Hi, I’m Lisa Jones. I’m an evolutionary astrologer, teacher and mentor based on the east coast of Australia. I’m OPA-certified, the Australian representative for OPA, a tutor at the Forrest Centre for Evolutionary Astrology, and a graduate of the Steven Forrest Master program and Astro Synthesis in Melbourne. I’m also an Australian Bush Flower practitioner and counsellor.
I’ve been leading sacred site pilgrimages in Greece for years. I know these sites. I know the stories. I know the rhythm of how the days unfold and where the magic tends to happen, which is often not where you expect.
My connection to Greece isn’t casual. Pallas Athena sits exactly on my ascendant in my Saros chart. My Sun and Moon line runs straight through the country. I experience the gods and goddesses as karmic, intuitive presences in my own life, not as figures from a book. When we work with them on these journeys, my approach is energetic rather than simply intellectual. We deepen our understanding of how to work with them astrologically, yes, but also how they carry the memory of what was not resolved, and what they are now asking us to embody in this lifetime in a healthy way.
I keep these groups small, because the work that happens on these journeys is intimate and profound. People often experience deep internal shifts when connecting with these places.
One thing I’ve come to know about myself is that creating and holding a group is something I’m genuinely good at. My Sagittarius Sun sits in my 11th house, and bringing people together is one of the deepest pleasures of my work. On these journeys, that translates into something practical: I pay close attention to the group dynamic, to who needs what, to making sure no one feels on the edge of things.
Past travellers have told me the group itself becomes one of the most unexpected gifts of the trip.
What’s Included
- 15 nights’ accommodation including breakfast daily
- Private bus and driver for the full fifteen days
- All entry fees to sacred sites and museums
- All ferry tickets between the mainland and the islands
- Six lunches and dinners including the welcome and farewell dinners
- All group teaching and ceremony with Lisa and Marc
- Pre-trip group Zoom calls in the months before we travel, so you arrive already connected to the group and prepared for the journey
Not included: Your flights to and from Athens, travel insurance (essential), several lunches and dinners (Greece is a country to eat in, and I want you to wander into your own discoveries), personal expenses.
Coming to Greece anyway? Join us in Crete the week before!
If you’re travelling from a long way away, you might want to consider joining me at Astro-Haven Crete from 29 April to 3 May, the week before this pilgrimage begins.
It’s a five-day astrology conference at a beautiful resort on the coast of Crete, with Lynn Bell, Maurice Fernandez, Martin Sebastian Moritz, Marc Laurenson and me presenting across psychological, evolutionary and karmic astrology.
The week between the two events gives you time to rest in Athens or explore on your own before we begin the pilgrimage.
A Few Practical Things
- Passport and Visa – Your passport must have at least 6 months validity. Australian travellers will need an ETIAS (it’s a quick online form, I’ll send instructions on registration).
- Climate – May in Greece is gorgeous. Warm days, light jacket in the evening, swimmers a must.
- Travel Insurance is Essential – I’ll send recommendations on registration.
- Cancellation – A non-refundable deposit of $1,000 is required at booking. There is a 50% cancellation fee if you cancel with less than 6 months notice. Trips are 100% transferable in the event of a global situation (pandemic, conflict, similar).
