Helping You Struggle Less & Smile More
invitation
You are invited to join Roke (Krishnakali) on a journey to Greece, led by Dimitra, a local lesbian guide. For the first time, Roke will host a small group of women as they experience Greece through the eyes of one of her own.
Roke was born and raised in Kolkata, India. Greek culture had a profound impact on the art, architecture, language, and spirituality in India. So when the chance came to work with Dimitra, she created an unique itinerary that combines the history, culture, and natural beauty of Greece with a life changing Empowerment Ceremony for Women. Roke is a Somatic Life Coach, Human Energy Teacher, and a Spiritual Guide in the Hindu/Indian tradition. Dimitra is a Somatic Therapist, Archeologist, and author of several books on Greece. The intention of this trip is to allow Greece to work her transformative magic on you, by changing your perspectives and expanding your view of life.
Our upcoming trip to Greece is scheduled for June 23 - July 7, 2024. It is an All Women Journey of Athens, Peloponnesus, & Lesvos.
