Couples’ Extension
Mythic Magic for Two!
JUNE 28 - JULY 4, 2026
An Optional Add-On Week for Priestesses and Their Beloveds
Equal parts sacred, sensual, and sun-soaked, this 7-day, 6-night couples retreat offers a luxurious blend of rest, romance, and ritual.
After completing the soul-activating journey of the Melissae Priestess Pilgrimage, you’re invited to stay on and welcome your beloved into the field of remembrance—sharing the beauty, devotion, and mythic magic of Greece in a way that deepens your love and spiritual bond.
Ready to Go?

It’s your turn to fall in love with Greece!
I can promise you that you won’t want to leave at the end of our time together.
I am so happy to say that you won’t have to!
Another week of all-inclusive bliss and delicious food and hospitality awaits you - only now you are invited to share it all with your beloved!
Welcoming in our Noble Men
This is your moment to let the sacred ripple outward.
To be seen in your radiance.
To walk hand-in-hand through temple gates
that remember your names.
Many of the men who travel with us are already attuned to the mysteries and eager to explore the ancient landscape through a spiritual lens.
We begin with a welcoming ceremony for the men, an anointed temple experience inspired by the rites of the Melissae—those ancient bee priestesses who knew how to invoke the sacred through honeyed touch and whispered blessing.
Here, the masculine is received as sacred witness and beloved co-creator, as he steps into the mythic current alongside you.
Our special invitation for you…
Women who stay for the couples’ extension may book the entire second week—room, meals, excursions, and more—for two people at the same all-inclusive rate already paid for one.
PLUS…
a special bonus for you for saying yes to the couples extension is a
GODDESS PHOTOSHOOT
with an Italian fashion photographer!
THIS TRIP IS THE PERFECT BLEND OF EXPLORING MYTH & MYSTERY
AND ENTERING THE PORTAL OF FABULOUS FUN!
Offered by invitation only.
Enjoy Two Mythic Excursions
Mountain Village Train and Hike Adventure
Ride a private vintage train up the verdant Greek mountainside, where breathtaking views await. After a short hike, we’ll arrive in a fairytale village nestled in the hills. Sip a refreshing beverage, visit enchanting artisan shops, and marvel at a jewel-box Byzantine church unlike anything you’ve seen.
Then we travel by coach to a second medieval village for lunch beneath the ancient trees, a museum visit featuring sacred relics, and quiet exploration of a local monastery. Herbs, honey, icons, and handcrafted treasures await.
Let your love roam free along cobbled paths and ancient terraces. The gods are watching—and they smile on lovers who remember they are also playmates.
Snorkeling in the Sea Caves - also known asThe Batcave
Board a boat to a secluded beach where shimmering waters meet secret sea caves. One cave is accessible via a short beach swim, while the second—reserved for the more adventurous—requires headlamps and snorkels.
Swim into the dark to find an inner cave beach, radiant with mystery. Afterward, we’ll boat to a nearby fishing village for a delicious dockside lunch and snorkel story-swapping.
Descend into the mythic depths, then rise together—salt-kissed, glowing, with a heart full of shared adventure.
Optional Add-Ons
Tantric Couples Evening | $175 per couple
Ignite deeper intimacy through playful, heart-opening practices guided by Laura Wolf, Sensual Embodiment Priestess. This 2-hour experience will include gentle Tantric techniques to enhance connection, rekindle desire, and invite deeper ease and pleasure into your relationship.
Night Fishing with Local Greek Fishermen | €50 per person
Join a traditional Greek fishing crew aboard their working boat for a magical evening on the water. Cast your line beneath the stars and bring home your own catch!

You’ve remembered who you are, Beloved.
Now invite your partner to walk beside you—
into the field of myth,

This is your time to nourish what matters most.
To be held under sun-drenched skies,
to laugh, rest, play, and remember the joy of simply being together.

Meet Your Hosts
TOUR LEADER & CEREMONIALIST
Dr. Rima Bonario
Dr. Rima Bonario is an internationally respected sacred pilgrimage leader, ritual guide, and modern-day priestess devoted to awakening the sovereign feminine in herself and others.
With over 30 years of experience in transformational work, she curates mythic journeys that weave ancient wisdom with embodied practice — guiding women into direct communion with the sacred.
Through her work in temple arts, anointing, archetypal embodiment, and soul-mapped initiation, Rima has led pilgrimages across Egypt, Hawaii, Central America, and now, Greece, activating sacred sites and the souls called to remember them.
She is known for creating immersive spaces of beauty, depth, and profound inner alchemy where women reclaim their power, purpose, and divine voice.
MOVEMENT, BREATHWORK & TANTRIC TEACHING
Laura Wolf
We are so fortunate to have Laura Wolf on the retreat team. Laura is a Priestess, Master Facilitator, and embodied guide devoted to awakening the wild, wise, and sensual feminine. As founder of Shaman’s Heart Sanctuary and WildWoman Retreats, Laura has served women across the globe through live and online experiences that blend mysticism with deeply embodied practice. Her work is a sacred invitation for women to come home to their bodies — to feel alive, luscious, and fully expressed through breath, movement, and sensual embodiment.
Drawing on decades of experience and training, Laura creates transformational containers that integrate yoga, stretching, sacred dance, and shamanic breathwork — helping women unwind trauma, reclaim pleasure, and access the deep wisdom held in their feminine form. Her approach is both mystical and practical, and will support our journey through embodiment practices to facilitate wellness and integration.
MEN’S LEADER

Tobias White is an experienced men’s work facilitator who will bring his grounded wisdom to support the evolutionary men traveling alongside their beloved and sacred women on this pilgrimage. With decades of experience guiding men—and walking the sacred path in deep partnership with his wife, Dr. Rima—Tobias adds a powerful layer of magic, safety, and soulful embodiment to our journey.
He is deeply passionate about supporting people in their soul’s evolution through plant medicine journeys and sacred shadow work, holding space for deep transformation with reverence, clarity, and compassion. His adventurous spirit and irreverent sense of humor offer a refreshing, anchoring presence in the Temple field.
VILLA HOSTS
Katerina and Enrico
We are so blessed to have these two beautiful humans to host us for our time in Greece.
Having lived in the area for decades, Enrico is an extraordinary host with expert knowledge of all the interesting places to explore in the bay, the Pelion peninsula, beyond. He will take us on local excursions on his boat and lead hikes in the hills next to the villa - if you can keep up with him!
Katerina is an accomplished chef who loves to cook fresh foods from her garden and the local area. Be prepared for a cornucopia of flavors and culinary delights wrapped up in some of the healthiest food you will eat all year! If we’re lucky she will impart some of her cooking secrets to us. If you're curious about healing through nutrition, be sure to connect with Katerina—she loves to share tips and wisdom from her decades of experience with food as medicine.
They look forward to welcoming our group to the Grecian paradise.
