This trip was life changing. My father had just passed away and I wasn’t sure I could even manage it. But it turned out this trip was exactly what I needed.
Dimitra’s expertise with the feminine aspects of the Greek culture took us on a deep dive into ourselves and Jody’s ability to navigate that deep space opened up worlds within all of us.
I cried and laughed, and laughed some more. Truthfully I hadn’t laughed that much in decades. And to be held in a circle of women day after day was just the medicine I needed.
Thank you Dimitra and Jody. I’m definitely going on your June 2024 trip!!

This was an amazing trip, a chance to make deep friends along with experiencing an ancient and also vibrantly real culture.
Dimitra is brilliant and outrageously knowledgeable but also utterly in the SPIRIT of Greece. She connected us to the soul of this place.
Jody was on top of the formidable logistics of vans rentals, lodgings, and also the importance of us all continuing to connect as we went from strangers to friends. One of my best trips ever.

If Jody hadn’t kept encouraging people to communicate with each other during her online events, my girlfriend would never have had the courage to reach out to me. I can’t say how happy I am.
Jody has a magical way of facilitating connections that makes it easy to actually get to know one another. My whole life has changed because of it.
I highly recommend traveling on any trips that she organizes. You won’t be disappointed.

In 2022 I joined a group of women, most of whom I'd never met, on the most profound trip of my life. At the time my goal was to attend the International
Women’s Festival but something magical and unexpected happened…I experienced gentleness, love & unconditional acceptance, topped off by the beauty and energy of Greece. The
festival itself became secondary, even though I had a fabulous time.
When I arrived in Greece I was not in a good place, This trip changed that. I opened my heart so it could heal. You can’t go wrong when you’re surrounded by positive vibes, love and kindness.
When I returned home, I even had people asking what happen
to me! Thank you Jody & Dimitra and my fellow travelers!

Going on the Sacred Roots trip to Greece, in May of 2023, was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I had wanted to go to the Isle of Lesvos, and have been interested in the Greek Goddesses, and archeology for decades. Being able to combine all of these, on a trip with women only, led by women and staying mostly in accommodations owned by women was an exciting thought.
Oh but the reality was even better! Jody's caring leadership brought 14 disparate personalities together within days, through lovely daily check-in circles. Her incredible empathetic vision of the women and the trip kept things flowing, and when necessary, adapting to changes with seeming ease while also being a beloved part of the group.
​
Dimitra is a wonderful and knowledgeable cultural guide and archeologist who brings the history and culture of this beautiful country to life.

Our trip in 2022 was a life changing experience-a before and after so to speak. It really shaped my way of seeing life. It changed me in a way that I am more flexible in understanding the world from a different perspective.
I joined a group of women I had never met and soon realized we were aligned in terms of values. This community offered me a sense of belonging that I was in search of and had no idea existed. It opened my heart to be more open to new experiences without expectations. I feel so much gratitude for every moment we shared.
Even though I took the trip alone, I never felt alone. It has been challenging for me to find this in the lesbian community so I felt that I had arrived!
It takes courage to say yes to something so big. My new perspective is that not everything has to be perfect but when we do it together, it makes all the difference.

What a magical trip! Dimitra and Jody planned the right balance of iconic Greek destinations and local hidden gems. We learned so much about Greek history and spirituality.
We were in the company of other women who were interested in the real life of the Greek people, their work and passions.
I recommend this trip if you want to see the real Greece, eat delicious food in the company of warm, wonderful women.

“Sacred Roots Retreat" was an incredible opportunity to meet women from all over the world in a close, connected, educational and adventurous setting.
Everything about the trip was well thought through and perfectly designed to support our needs and deepest experience, not to mention the life long lesbian friendships and couples that developed as a result of this trip.
With Jody and Dimitra as our guides, we were able to delve into our inner and outer landscapes with very skilled and knowledgeable guidance in mythology, archaeology, history, and human nature and relationships.
Sacred Roots left a very deep imprint in my soul and looking forward to joining in again on the next trip in May, 2024. Can’t get enough!

“The Women’s Sacred Roots Retreat” exceeded my expectations. Truly life changing! Besides creating deep meaningful connections with the other women there, I learned about and tapped into various goddess energies. I’m living my life on a whole different level now.
