Co-Organizer & Co-Founder of Path of Vision Hellas
Guide of Ancestral Meditations & Soul-Path Intuitive
Iris Delphinia acts as an intuitive bridge between the modern soul and ancestral memory. With a journey spanning over 25 years in spiritual exploration and alternative guidance, Iris specializes in leading ancestral meditations, creating sacred fields where silence is transformed into profound self-awareness.
*
As the Co-Founder of Path of Vision, she joins forces with Nicoletta Argyropoulos to facilitate mystical seminars dedicated to the awakening of the Divine Feminine energy.
Together, they offer the unique (c) Hellenic 4-Hands Body Ritual and Soul Session, a high-vibrational ceremony where their unified energies weave a tapestry of healing, restoring the body’s sacred symmetry and the soul's harmony.
*
Her approach is deeply experiential and archetypal. Following the whisper of intuition, Iris guides seekers through the layers of 'oblivion' to reclaim their sovereign truth. For Iris, self-realization is not a distant goal, but a sacred remembering of our connection to the Earth and the stardust within—a return to the source of the Feminine essence that flows through all existence.

Her mother tongue is the hellene language.
She also speaks English.

Details of this retreat
A Sacred Gateway Awaits
There are places on this earth where the veil between worlds grows thin — where the stones remember, the sea carries prophecy, and the soul recognises something it has never forgotten.
Naxos is one of those places.
We invite you to step through the Portara — the ancient unfinished temple gate of Apollo, standing alone against the Aegean sky for 2,500 years — and into one of the most profound initiatory journeys Path of Vision has ever offered.
This is not a holiday. This is a homecoming.
What Awaits You
Over five transformative days on the sacred island of Naxos, with a ceremonial voyage to the holy island of Delos
— birthplace of Apollo and Artemis — you will be held in a living field of ancient Hellenic wisdom, somatic depth,
and sacred feminine power.
Each day is woven with:
> Deep guided somatic trance journeys
> Mystical ceremonies at sacred sites
> Ritual incense clearing with handmade Hellenic herbs
> Ancestral memory journeys
> Primal meditations in the living landscape
> Sacred circle work and feminine connection
> A ceremonial boat journey to Delos
