Crete Pilgrimages 2024
it’s with great reverence for this sacred island
& my ancestors buried beneath its soil…
that I reflect on the first 2 annual gatherings we hosted according to the instruction I received.
They were mystical, intimate journeys into the central heart of our community constellation and into the heart of love and remembrance.
At the Mána Yí Crete Retreats of both 2022 and 2023…
women from all across the planet converged for 11 days of ritual, adventure, play, grief, exploration and embodiment. We journeyed to ancient goddess temples of the Minoans, the fire altars within the mysterious caves, to rivers, mountains and fields of medicinal herbs, grapes, olives and cactus. We roamed the beach of the dragon and stripped down to our raw innocence, smashed clay pots, buried the dead and called forth new life of the eternal cycle. We sang, rhymed, drummed, wandered, swam, embraced, made art and took turns leading one another through inspired transmissions of the heart.
Spring 2024 enrollment is now closed.
Autumn’s gathering will be co-ed, welcoming brothers and sisters, solo adventurers and couples alike, to join in the crown point of unity- the sacred bridge between feminine and masculine ‘polarities’ to hold one another in the community dynamic we know glimmers of in our tainted memories of our ancestor’s traditional ways. This gathering will be guided by Paulina and Zin together as we reawaken, reinstate and nurture the expansion of sacred union coding within our cells and the Earth.
Feeling called to a private immersion…
with the matriarchal mysteries of Minoan Crete and desire a uniquely curated experience just for you / your ‘paréa’ (your group / people)?
Complete the form below to take the first step in exploring our mutual alignment for this reality impacting journey of spiritual nourishment, earth wisdom, ancient intelligence and unveiling of patriarchal illusions.
The temples, caves and sacred sites we curate your visit around, are not all public places accessible to tourists and hence, an unspeakably unique experience. There are wisdom keepers, children of this stellar lineage who hold the ancient secrets, stories and mysteries of the pre-patriarchal truth who we have the honor of learning from / remembering with.
Personalized tours can be adjusted according to the season of your visit, your adventure capacity, specific areas of curiosity and the depth of ceremony you / your group desires. This adventure can be touristy and mythological, or local-feeling and inter-dimensional.
We are honored to explore the calling that is guiding you here.

With immense love and faith in our seemingly uncertain future. May the rectification of our innate wisdom and memories serve to empower, uplift and piece together the fragmentation of this world, in honor of each individual karmic journey & our united evolution through cycles of consciousness.
