Welcome to The Golden Foundation 

A place for courses and retreats

The Golden Foundation is a peaceful and healing oasis in the Greek island of Crete. The place is for everyone who is seeking quietness, contemplation and inner inspiration in a unique atmosphere. In the garden you can visit the Temple of light with its powerful energy flow.​ For many years the garden has been a place for retreats and meditations, spiritual and creative courses. The temple, the beauty of the site, the mountains and the sea creates an energetic and healing atmosphere.
Enjoy the beauty, magic and healing power of The Golden Foundation
​You can come here individually or in groups, for quiet being and inner recharging, to learn how to be a person in the new age, to explore the many layers of consciousness, -and to enjoy life, joy and creative exploration in a spiritual space.
In spring everything blooms and after the rainy winter months of January and February the greenery will become lush. During the summer it is warmer and dryer and the garden yet again changes its appearance. Luckily, many of the bushes and trees are in season and blooms all year round. In November when the rain slowly sets in, the sorrel and an abundance of small yellow flowers flourish. It's a beautiful example of the cooperation between the garden and the landscape surrounding it. Some of the plants are adjusted to the Greek climate and do fine on their own, the rest of the plants we water daily in the summer period so they get the water they need.


​Book your own course or retreat in The Golden Foundation

The beauty and the strong energy forms a powerful basis to courses and retreats with elements of deepening consciousness and personal and spiritual development. Multiplicity is a key word. We see the garden as functioning on three aspects, often combined: The healing and contemplation of the retreat, presentation of insights and knowledge surrounding many aspects in the new era and finally the possibility to support the participants in exploring their creativity.
