Historically, the island is one of Earth's most powerful mystic places. The sun-kissed island of Crete, famous for sparkling waters and shimmering sandy beaches, is the home of the ancient 5000 year old Minoan civilization. The entire island is alive with the energy of this mystical culture. In the artwork the Minoans left, we see a lust for life, a childlike freshness of feeling, and a recognition and celebration of an omnipresent deity. Their burial practices show a recognition of the afterlife and reincarnation. The ancient spiritual tradition of Crete gave profound recognition to the "Otherworld" and the "Other Life."

As part of this unique conference you will visit the Minoan ceremonial palaces of Malia and Knossos, site of the mythological Minotaur and the original mysterious labrinyth. The ancient Minoans celebrated their worship not in man-made temples, but in natural sanctuaries, like the Cretan cave where Zeus was raised which you will visit as part of your program.

A spectacular 5-star deluxe, beach-front resort conducive to relaxation, rejuvenation, contemplation and fun awaits you. It is a magnificent venue with the Aegean Sea at our feet and the mystical mountains of Crete, the birthplace of Zeus, behind us. A fabulous full-European spa with pools are included for your use.

This promises to be a very exciting event. We deliberately picked this ancient land and enchanting resort as they imbue a consciousness that is conducive for sharing thoughts and experiences on spiritual evolution, both personal and planetary, as we explore "Life, Death and Beyond." Join with leading inspirational speakers and teachers for this special travel program with Crete's mystical energy providing a powerful catalyst for your own personal learning and healing.

"Crete's mystery is extremely deep. Whoever sets foot on this island senses a mysterious force branching warmly and beneficently through his veins, senses his soul and begins to grow."
~ Nikos Kazantzakis (Author of "Zorba The Greek")



Your Journey Continues to Santorini, Athens and Delphi

Travel to the most spectacular and beautiful of all the Greek Islands, Santorini. Enjoy the beach or browse in the myriad shops in the narrow, cobblestone streets and alleys of the charming town of Fira. Enjoy the magnificent views the island of Santorini affords. Don’t miss some of the most stunning sunsets in the world from the high cliffs of Fira overlooking the sea. Tour the ancient city of Akrotiri, which was preserved by the volcanic ash that covered it for nearly 3500 years. About 35 years ago, archeologists looking for “lost Atlantis” discovered the city, still very much intact. Wonder at the famous, mystical site of Delphi, home of the ancient oracle. Here you will see the magnificent Temple of Apollo, located in a spectacular mountain setting. There will be time for meditation to experience the very special qualities of this site. Marvel at Athens, including the Temple of Zeus, which according to Aristotle rivaled the pyramids in its grandeur. Also see the Acropolis and the Parthenon, the spectacular ruins from the Golden Age of Greece. Plus much more!
