Dream Mysteries Intensif in Ancient Epidavros
APRIL 15 - 22 Greece PLACES STILL AVAILABLE
First Dream Mysteries Retreat of 2026 - there are still a couple of places available for our first retreat in April. This is an intensive lucid dreaming training programme. Participants are invited to learn techniques they can apply to their own practice and professional therapeutic sessions, or come along to enrich your own personal dreamlife and make new dreamy pals.
For this retreat I will be joined by expert facilitators and friends Rosanna Lowe (theatre, storytelling, writing, movement and song), James Elphick digital detoxing, Internal Family Systems (IFS), meditation, and nature connection, Arielle Guttman mythic astrology, and Eleftherios Makridopoulos - our local iatromantis, herbalist/alchemist.
We are staying in the idyllic ancient polis of Epidavros, which is where I live in Greece. This polis is dedicated to Asklepios and Apollo and the Sacred Way to their holistic healing sanctuary begins here. There is also an ancient Greek theatre and acropolis, a hilltop temple to Artemis, and the tomb of the ‘iatros’ - a family of healers who worked at the sanctuary, this is on the road where you will be staying. At the end of our road is the Sunken City beach, where you can swim over a sunken Roman villa - with the turtles!
Outings: there will be a special trip to theatmospheric Zoodochos Pigi church in Kefalari and its caves - where Pavsanius tells us the locals made offerings to Pan and Dionysos (this is where Herakles killed the Hydra - at the Lernaen Swamp) on Bright Friday - to take part in the Greek Orthodox pilgrimage, a visit to the holistic healing sanctuary of Asklepios to sleep in the enkoimeterion, and of course the site of the Elefsinian Mysteries, the Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore at Elefsina to taste the mysteries.
Facilitators include:
Sarah Janes: Dream guide, sleep hypnosis, somatic dreamwork, games and play
Rosanna Lowe: Dream theatre, storytelling, and paeans (healing songs), James Elphick: Internal Family Systems/Parts Work, body-based awareness, meditation, digital detoxing, nature connection, Arielle Guttman: Mythic astrology, Eleftherios Makridopoulos: Local Herbalist, Epidavrian Method (longer therapeutic sessions, for full treatment available)

“Working with Sarah has been nothing short of revelatory. By bringing her research of historical dream practices together with esoteric insights and contemporary therapeutics, Sarah blends a rich mix of some of my favourite things. In leading incubation sessions in which I’ve been invited to dream with the gods, Sarah has facilitated meditative experiences that have shined light on both my personal dreamworld and the collective dream experience we call life.”
- David Bradley, Artist
