Ithaka is the mythical home of Odysseus (also known as Ulysses), the hero of the Odyssey.  The story describes his arduous ten year voyage after the Trojan War to return home and reassert his place as king. In the following poem it serves as a metaphor for our life’s journey and the wisdom gained from experience.

As you set out in search of Ithaka
Pray that your journey be long,
full of adventures, full of awakenings.
do not fear the monsters of old…
you will not meet them in your travels
if your thoughts are exalted and remain high,
if authentic passions stir your mind body and spirit.
you will not encounter fearful monsters
unless you bring them along inside your soul,
unless your soul sets them up in front of you.
Constantine Peter Cavafy 1911

New Year is a time of reflection and intention setting, of charting personal growth for the upcoming months.  A gong bath is also a metaphor for returning home. Their immersive sounds transport us across the cosmos to connect with our true self, a place of unconditional love and inner peace.  Join us tonight to begin your trip. Follow this link.
