This is the REAL Sparta
Sparta is not solely about the warriors you've seen on your screen
the power behind the community was in the women who chose to stay behind
the men were away fighting & women were the masterminds behind local art, commerce and collaboration
all while protecting their families and the land
this is the real Sparta
we all have superpowers that enhance our individual needs, passions, goals
while serving the community as a whole
explore these gifts while being immersed in
• the energy of others
• the energy of the land
• the energy within you
work on your business, work on yourself, or simply relax and release into the beauty & history of Sparta

Why Creativity Matters,
Even When You're Not an Artist
No matter who you are, we are guessing that you have felt stuck at least once in your life. If you're thinking about joining us on this retreat, you might be feeling overwhelmed in some way right now.
Overwhelm is a universal feeling. Stuck is normal...
Even though the media might lead you to believe otherwise.
Getting creative allows you to approach problems in new and innovative ways, think outside the box,
and come up with unique solutions.
Creativity enhances your communication skills, boosts your confidence, and increases your adaptability to change.
So, even if you're not an artist, cultivating creativity can absolutely transform your life.
