Whether you’re here for a mindfulness retreat or an artist residency, our garden is devoted to nurturing your soul and sparking your creativity. Devoted to the archetype of Gaia, it is immersed in the nature of the Delphic land, earth-dotted with mountain crystals and obsidian.

About the Venue

Surrounded by lush olive groves, cypress trees, and earth dotted with crystalline quartz and obsidian, this is a place to feel at home in nature’s embrace.

Our healing and mindfulness retreats foster learning through heart wisdom. Our artist residency offers painters, writers, musicians, and performers art studios and shared creative spaces designed to inspire.

Just 500 m from the traditional settlement of Galaxidi and 1 km from the Corinthian Gulf, our amenities are ideal for workshops focused on therapies, the arts, and self-awareness.

“The Core of Gaia” is a 50 sq.m. workshop and meditation space designed with sacred geometry principles, embodying the essence of the earth element. Our mountain-embraced 100 sq.m. outdoor arts and yoga hut is a playground for exploring emotions through movement—the water element. The Fire Tower, a circular stone gathering space, fosters purification through the transformative power of fire. Linking these spaces, the Spiral Path of Mindfulness—the air element—initiates you into the space-time of Gaia.

Our services extend beyond our private land, as we also offer guided tours to the Oracle of Delphi, the navel of the Earth, where you may experience the site’s energy through a dance ritual inspired by the Delphic oracles.

Last but not least, our venue is enriched by the crystal-clear sea and safe beaches, traditional villages, and the picturesque surrounding landscape.

Reviews

“I had an incredible time staying here for a four day personal retreat. It was exactly what I needed – a tranquil space surrounded by beauty that seems to slow time down the minute you enter the property. Dimitra is a fabulous, caring and welcoming host. She prepared not only amazing and nutritious food for my body and soul, but also a perfect itinerary for me to experience not only the sites, but also the less known treasures of Delphi, Galaxidi and the surrounding area, while still having plenty of time to relax and rest. She has a wonderful way of bringing history to life and is a wealth of wisdom and inspiration that I am so blessed to have now met. I can only say that my time in Ariadne’s Garden was more than I could have dreamed, truly magical and I am so thankful I chose to stay there. I look forward to another opportunity to return! Thank you Dimitra and all of the garden.”

I am a visionary artist & dance therapist, indicating toward a deeper experience of “self” by focusing on shadow work through the archetypes.

After journeying to Earth's sacred sites and collaborating with public&private institutions to create transformative art, I have curated Ariadne's Garden as a playground for those seeking to align body-mind-spirit.

Either as a Retreat or as an Artist Residency, Ariadne’s Garden combines the Delphic “know thyself” with the simplicity of nature’s care. This is the experience I articulate for you in our Garden.
I personally oversee every aspect of our venue and look forward to welcoming you.
