Transformational psychotherapist Edward Tick, Ph.D., guides us on a journey of healing, transformation, community, myth, and divine presence on the sacred Greek island of Poros, rich in history of mysteries and healing.

In this book, Tick rediscoveres resilience, the ancient practice of refuge offering safety and inspiration, while facilitating healing and connection with the divine.

Leveraging ancient traditions, he explains how we come to know ourselves, our destinies, and our connection to the divine through dreams, visions, oracles, and synchronicities.

He shows how the absolute and unpredictable power of Poseidon can save or destroy, highlighting the need for humility and balance to receive its gifts.

Tick continues the numerous revival of Asclepius's dream incubation and other modern adaptations of ancient rituals, offering a deep analysis of Poros's sacred history and how it can bring transformation and tranquility today.

He also reveals life-changing experiences for pilgrims, including encounters with living spiritual guides, higher beings, and oracles, as well as examining the physical and spiritual restoration of the sacred of Poseidon and its contribution to literary and mythological heritage.
