The Pythia - the women of the oracle were among the most influential figures of their era.
This pilgrimage is an invitation to reclaim that way of knowing:
Kings, generals, founders of cities, and envoys of distant cultures made their way to Delphi to sit before a single woman whose wisdom could alter the course of nations.
Even in service to Apollo, her presence shaped empires.
To walk these grounds is to feel that history awaken in your cells.
To remember feminine authority that does not dominate — but listens, attunes, and guides from deep inner alignment.
the power of intuition, ritual, relational leadership, and Earth-centred wisdom.
Join us for an Embodied Pilgrimage Under the Aquarian Full Moon
As we walk the ancient lands of Delphi during the week of the Aquarian Full Moon, attuning to the felt sense of Earth wisdom and the living current of the oracle.
Where we learn to listen with the whole body as instrument.
This pilgrimage is dedicated to listening — not just with the mind, but with the whole body as instrument.
Each day is designed to gently open perception, sensitivity, and inner attunement.
Mornings begin with meditation and journaling, followed by Embodied Flow and Somatic Dance, supporting the body to soften, spiral, and receive — in relationship with the land and the collective field of the group.
Answering the Call of the Land
When visiting Delphi last year, we were met with a clear invitation from the land itself:
to return with a group of women to re-remember the ancient wisdom that has been forgotten.
This pilgrimage is our answer to that call.
This immersion is for
you if you..
Long to reconnect with Goddess and archetypes.
Learn about the 4 inner seasons of the menstrual cycle and the greater energetic life cycle of women.
Feel called to reclaim rites of passage that were lost through colonisation and patriarchy.
Are in the process of reweaving your indigeneity and feminine lineage.
Seek sisterhood, sacred ceremony, and deep rest.
Are ready to awaken the archetypal forces within you and embody them.
Want to embody elemental magic and cyclical feminine wisdom.
What to expect -
We are crafting an unforgettable experience where storytelling meets somatic practices.
We will uncover stories lost through the colonisation of the church and patriarchal systems that endeavored to suppress divine feminine knowledge, rituals and practices.
But alas, sister - we will not cower, we will rise, we will share sacred knowledge, we will bask in the glory of these teachings and embody them to propel our lives and the collective forward into a world where once a gain women's voices are heard and acknowledged. We will journey through the sacred feminine cycle of Maiden, Mother, Magda, and Crone, and explore the initiations once offered as gateways into each phase—initiations that empowered women to live with purpose, reverence, and power.
We will step into ceremony, prayer and incantations with morning and evening devotional practices.
Our days will be spent receiving stories of Atua wāhine and other ancient cultural deities, we will learn their whakapapa (lineage), hear their stories and surely find visceral connections. We will draw on their teachings and learn how to implement them in our modern world.

Meet Tarikura
Tarikura hails from the sacred waters of the Whanganui River, with ancestral ties to Te Āti Awa, Te Āti Haunui-a-Pāpārangi, and Ngāti Apa. With foundations in kōhanga reo (Māori pre-schooling) and kura kaupapa (Māori primary school), her consciousness was shaped through the lens of Te Ao Māori.
Te Ao Māori is intrinsically woven with te ao wairua (the spirit world), Tarikura creates deep and grounding spaces for women to explore the richness of ceremonial spaces, through sisterhood, ancestral teachings and her innate gift of storytelling.
As the guardian and host of Āio the podcast, she amplifies holistic healing and indigenous wisdom, believing that the future of medicine is ancient. Her mission is to rekindle ancestral knowledge and shift the way we understand vitality and well-being.
Tarikura works intimately with wāhine, supporting the process of reindigenisation through deep reconnection with Atua Wāhine—Māori Goddesses. She brings forth elemental wisdom, awakening the divine feminine current that flows through us all. Her teachings weave seamlessly with the rhythms of the four inner seasons—the menstrual cycle—and the sacred traditions of ikura (menstruation), restoring the mana of these ancient practices.
through myth and ritual We will sing, dance, pray, connect and align to the authenticity of our own feminine expression.
