CRETE | OCTOBER 7-11

IMMERSION

A JOURNEY OF

ORACULAR CREATIVITY AND CONNECTION

TO THE MAGIC OF EARTH

The Earth has been my muse and teacher for a very long time. What I remember from many lifetimes is that she is the Goddess in physical form.

It is she who teaches about surrendering while staying fundamentally rooted. Is is she who holds the keys to devotional Love. A fierce Love, that is embodied and wholly regenerative.

Over the last few years, my artistic practice and research has led me to work very intimately with the Earth in her rawest form.

I have been receiving her wisdom through clay, soil, dirt and grittiness. Allowing her voice to come through me.

In the path of opening up to my own porosity, I have been guiding others to connect to the ground below our feet.

This immersion is an invitation to fully tune into the soul of the Earth. To lean into the wild, raw and primordial aspects of our psyche and the parts of us that beckon to be (re)awakened in connection to our great Mother.

This immersion is for women who are ready to reclaim their sacredness. Who are called to come to the humble altar of the Earth, to get their hands dirty and RISE from the ground up. Those who are ready to let their artistry and expression unravel in a way that lets Earth lead. Those who know in their bones, that all of this physicality is spirited - that the Earth and our bodies are one.

LET US COME TOGETHER
AND REMEMBER HOW TO BE
HER VESSELS

WE WILL BE JOURNEYING WITH

GROUNDING PRACTICES ☉ ANCESTRAL INQUIRY ☉ WILD CLAY CONNECTION ☉ LAND ART ☉ ORACULAR CREATIVITY ☉ PRAYER CRAFTING ☉ ATTUNING TO EARTH FREQUENCY ☉ (RE)AWAKENING THE SACRED LANGUAGES OF THE FEMININE

Our time together will serve as a container for coNNECTION, creative activation AND TRANSFORMATION.

We will come together to be intentionally present with each other, with the land, our bodies, our intuition and our creativity. Mornings will be spent in special places in nature. We will be connecting to the land, doing field work, exploring, collecting natural materials, receiving input and visions. Afternoons will be spent in the studio, which will serve as our temple during this whole time together and support our creative expression and our inquiries, both personal and collective. Our practice will have a specific focus with the mediums of earth & clay.

What is our relationship to the ground below our feet?

What does Earth connection mean to us? What is most grounding for our Being?

How do we find our center, our integrity, our wholeness?

What do we see when we travel down through the umbilical cord that connects us to our Great Mother?

How do we transmit it?

May we tune in and be guided by Her.

THE LAND
THAT WILL HOLD US

I am grateful to be welcoming you in the lands I call my home - Crete. An ancient land, rich in history, traditions and earth-led ways - many of which continue to thrive to this day.

We will be meeting in a very special part of the island where I live and have my studio - between mountains and sea. I have cultivated a very intimate relationship with this area and will share some places that are very dear to my heart.

This is an elemental land of rocky mountains and clay soil. Of mountain goat and falcon. Of ancient olive trees, wild sage, thyme and countless healing herbs. Of wild coasts, valleys filled with spring water and byzantine chapels, villages where life is simple, where time moves slow - where authenticity and kindness are the key pieces of belonging.

"Spending those hours with Linda really awakened a big fire in me. I knew I was already on a journey, but her space holding and the clay journey she guided me through really confirmed it, giving it form and power. Thank you for giving me permission. Thank you for helping me to see what is alive in me."

"Linda holds so much wisdom from her experience working with the Earth. She has inspired me to reconnect with the natural world around me. She is a true inspiration and guide, gifted in holding space and connecting with people on a deep level. She has the power to transport you into that dimension and space you need to be in order to receive insight."

  • Think of this immersion as a multi-day workshop. An artistic woman's gathering. An in-person guided mentorship in devotional craft and earth mysticism.

    While this is not a retreat (and we will not be living under the same roof) our intention is to spend this time together and watch what emerges in our shared intentions.

    In the mornings, we will meet in special places in nature. In the afternoons, we will be coming together in my studio, which will serve as our temple during this whole time together. We will explore creative practices which will be using earth & clay as a primary medium.

    During our whole time together we will be tuning in with the Earth as our guide and create space for what wants to come through us. I will be helping you tune in to receive and support you in the forming of your visions.

    Expect: A lot of beauty. An encounter with a very spirited land. Unexpected discoveries. Another way of looking at the Earth and the ground. Connections to human and non-human realms. Deepened sensuality and intimacy with your body & senses. Safe spaces. Creative flows. Intimacy. Playfulness. Simplicity. Silence. Solitude. Sisterhood. Soulful conversation. Laughter. Healing moments. Depth. Unforgettable memories.

  • Your contribution to this gathering will cover the following:

    • Participation to all scheduled activities + usage of studio materials (clays, pigments, tools) during these 5 days of immersion

    • Your own exclusively curated goodie bag filled with magical treasures to enjoy

    • An intention-setting zoom call before we meet in person. We will also have a private messaging group to stay connected and flow well during our time together.

    • During our time we have also planned to have a few in-house meals together (2 dinners, one breakfast). They will be homemade and delicious.

      DO NOTE

    • Any meals outside of our planned schedule are not included.

    • Accommodation is not included. I will share some helpful recommendations and support you in finding a place to stay in the area.

    • Transport is also not included. It is recommended to rent a car or share one with another woman coming.

  • We will be gathering in central Crete. The airports of Heraklion or Chania are at equal distance from the area we will be spending time in, so we recommend landing from either of these airports.

    For privacy reasons, the exact location will only be shared with those who apply and are committed to joining the immersion.

  • Of course. You may ask me anything via email at hi@lindapappa.com
