Our retreat here is a journey in the land of Asklepieion. Asklepieion were healing temples located in ancient Greece, dedicated to Asklepius, the first doctor-demigod in Greek mythology. Asklepius was said to have been such a skilled doctor that he could even raise people from the dead. Stemming from the myth of his great healing powers, pilgrims would flock to temples built in his honor, in order to seek spiritual and physical healing.
