Really looking forward to this meeting next month with Dr. Miles Neale and Phil Cousineau.

With the returning to the big screen soon and with some of its imagery vividly injected back into the collective imagination, there is an opportunity to remember ourselves, to remember as a divine amorphous storyteller who has been telling us the story, structure, and journey of the soul for thousands of years.

MYTHS, DREAMS & JOURNEYS: Why We Need Them Now
A free live online gathering. July 18, 2026, 9:00 AM PDT. Recording available to everyone who
registers.

Every age forgets its stories, and every age has to remember them again. The old myths that
taught us how to leave home, how to endure the long way through, and how to return changed
still live in us. We have only stopped listening.

This July, as Homer's Odyssey returns to the cultural imagination, three teachers come together
to ask why these ancient stories still matter, and what they offer a world hungry for meaning.

Phil Cousineau, mythologist and author of The Wisdom of the Odyssey, on how myth reframes
our lives as heroic.

Sarah Janes, dream guide and author, on how dreams reveal the wisdom of the psyche.

Dr. Miles Neale, contemplative psychotherapist and author, on how the journey itself becomes a
path of healing.

Stories shape us. Dreams guide us. Journeys heal our soul.

Join us live, or register to receive the recording.
Reserve your spot, free.

Hosted by Gradual Path.

The Elefsinian Mysteries
Tue 1st Sep 2026

8pm – 10pm CEST (UTC +02:00)
Online over Zoom with
and .allitt

For nearly two thousand years, secret initiatory rites were held at Elefsis, outside Athens.

The Mysteries of Elefsina, or the Eleusinian Mysteries, are frequently hyped as a defining example of ancient psychedelic initiatory ritual. Yet, more is known about what took place inside the Telesterion, the sacred initiation hall, than is often acknowledged.

Many ancient writers were themselves initiated, leaving behind explicit accounts of what was seen and experienced. The very word Elefsis derives from the Greek for 'arrival,' and this was the place where the gods came to Earth and showed humanity how to live.

Scholars including Albert Hofmann, R. Gordon Wasson, and have proposed that the kykeon taken as sacrament, was a psychedelic, ergot-laced potion.

In this upcoming online event, author and dream guide Sarah Janes will take you on a journey to the Telesterion. She will share her knowledge about the rites of Elefsina, including the history, the myths, the philosophical and theurgic context, and the psychedelic hypothesis. She will also facilitate a 30-minute guided hypnagogic meditation to take you into an imaginal Telesterion.

A recording of the event and separate audio recording of the meditation will be sent to all ticket holders, as well as a recipe for making the kykeon at home.

Sarah Janes is an English author, curator, and retreat leader based between Archaia Epidavros in Greece, Istanbul, Turkey, and England. Sarah's book: Initiation into Dream Mysteries: Drinking from the Pool of Mnemosyne explores the history and culture of dreaming.

Sarah runs Dream Mysteries Retreats in Greece, where she takes dream pilgrims to sleep in ancient Hellenic sleep temples, mystery cult, and oracle sites. She regularly visits the site of the Elefsinian Mysteries with her groups and hosts a yearly retreat at the time of the Greater Mysteries.

Sarah Janes will be talking with guests about the ancient history and culture of dreaming. In particular the nature of oracular and healing dream cults and sacred sites in Greece, Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Anatolia.

Sarah lives between Ancient Epidavros, (birthplace of the divine physician Asklepios, son of Apollo), Istanbul, and the UK. She runs Dream Mysteries retreats from her base in the Peloponnese and guides partipants on tours of the ancient sancturies and cult sites around the Meditteranean working with a number of interesting co-facilitators and specialists, she is also part of the team curating the Delphic Dreaming Conference in Delphi this year, and runs an annual Oracle Dream Retreat.

After the presentation guests will be invited to take a cup of homemade dream tea and settle in for a dream incubation session where Sarah will guide you on an imaginal dream journey into the enkoimeterion of Epidavros.
