Mission & Vision
In the Delphic landscape of Galaxidi, Ariadne’s Garden is a 20-acre Retreat venue and Artist Residency. Surrounded by lush olive groves, cypress trees, and earth dotted with crystalline quartz and obsidian, this is the place to feel at home with nature’s embrace. Whether you’re here for a mindfulness retreat or an artist residency, our garden is all about nurturing your soul and sparking your creativity.
Our healing and mindfulness Retreats foster learning through the heart wisdom. Our Artist Residency offers to painters, writers, musicians, and performers, arts studios and shared creative spaces to inspire.
In this corner of the world, devoted to Gaia- the creative source of hesiodian cosmogony- self reflection and artistry bloom together!
