12-Day Tour with Stays in Athens, Delphi, Parga, Meteora, and Pelion
October 10-22, 2026 | Detailed Itinerary | Registration Link
I am delighted to announce that I will again be leading a pilgrimage to sacred sites of the Olympians in Greece this summer with my friend and fellow astrologer and educator Gray Crawford. Our tour will begin beneath the Akropolis in Athens with the Libra New Moon occurring at sunset the first evening, and then we will set out across Northern Greece in the footsteps of mythic and historical pilgrims, healers, and prophets.
Under the tutelage and guidance of Hermes of the road and Hestia of the hearth, each day we will make visits to sacred sites including the Oracle of Zeus at Dodona, Oracle of Apollo at Delphi, the Necromanteion of Acheron where Odysseus spoke with Tiresias, the hills of Pelion where Chiron lived, Trikala birthplace of Asclepius, and many more. Our detailed itinerary is provided below.
We will stay three nights at most of our ‘base camps’ in four star hotels, making short day journeys to 1-2 sites each day — some small and some very large, some well-known and some much less so. Most mornings under the 12th house Sun, we will gather for dream and reflection time to connect more personally with the figures and places we are meeting. And of course along the way Gray and I will be sharing the stories of the gods and goddesses and ways of connecting with them at the sites.
Places — land, temples, rivers, mountains — carry memory, and the stories of the ancients are woven into the lands we will visit. Having been to Greece many times over the years, it has proven personally pivotal to me to visit these places where the gods of astrological pantheon were born, lived, petitioned, and worshiped. Pilgrimage is a deep attending to the mythic in oneself and our shared world, a way to weave and unweave the stories in ourselves with each step we take together.
