Let us help you find your enthusiasm in Greece!
The Ancient Greek word entheos means “full of the god, inspired, blessed by the Gods”— passionate, to the point of being possessed.
It is the root word for enthusiasm, or “enthusiasmos,” in Greek. See? You know a Greek word already!
This word reflects a feeling we hope to inspire in you when you join us in Greece. We might not connect with the Gods in a literal sense (though you never know!), but we will connect with that sense of passion and wonder about the world.

Spring moments in Greece as we unwind out of our winter hibernation. Beach days, picnics, tavernas, picking khorta (wild greens), foraged thyme, village strolls, Greek coffee on the balcony, oh and gorgeous purplish pink sunsets after golden hour ✨

You might catch a cold. If you do, we have you covered. Between the powerful local herbs and our favorite local healers, you are in good hands.
Katerina at Evrwstia in Sparti is an amazing healer. She is one of the practitioners we give you a session with while you’re in Greece with us.
Yes, you have 3 bodywork sessions included with your olive harvest experience. 😉
Here is a glimpse of one of Katerina’s offerings, ventouzes (cupping with fire and alcohol).
See Part 1 of this series to get an introduction about where this practice has its origin.
Have you ever had this done for you?

Let’s talk olive oil.
As for many things, it has been a tough year. A very tough year.
I hope you’ll take time to listen to the story of the olive. We would love to hear your reflections on this lesson from nature.
Is there anything that surprised you?
Anything you would like to add?
We have so much we can learn from the things that were on this earth long before we were. It’s our job to listen, learn, and share their stories.

Play this on repeat and feel like you’re in Greece, hearing the rain fall onto the groves.
Summer rain is rare, but when it happens, everyone is happy about it.
The summer heat burns so many plants. And there are areas without access to water for the farms.
And though olive trees don’t require a ton of water, they are grateful for it when they get it (unless it comes when they are trying to turn their flowers into olives… a story for another day).
If you want to learn more about this process, consider joining us in Greece this November.
