A visit to the POWERHOUSE ruins of ELEUSIS and the equanimity that was once offered by the Eleusinian Mystery School—plus the divine synchronicity of a partnered pilgrimage along the traditional roads to Eleusis.
“Eleusis” in Greek means “ARRIVAL.” For centuries, initiates sworn to secrecy walked the 13-mile road from Athens, known as the “sacred way,” in torchlit processions, to take part in the Eleusinian Mysteries—rituals of drinking a time-bending psychedelic called “the kykeon” that famously shook up the ancient world and allowed equal access to the secrets of the universe.
Rulers, thought leaders, artists and philosophers, such as Plato, Plutarch, Aristotle, and Cicero, all turned their fate over to the feminine “art and act of self-surrender” to the mystical wiles of the Eleusinian order. This was an ancient practice for personal revelation, but it also shook up the hierarchical power structures of the time, calling for a greater equality on the path to ascension. Which is why Emperor Theodosius put an end to the entire cultural collective, banning the procession and killing the leaders who dared to administer the kykeon or put power in the hands of the people.
But these sites are still alive with the answers to our burning questions. And so we will go see for ourselves by walking processional pilgrimage and “Traditional Camino”.
