Towards Heliopolis

Occitania, France, September 2024

“An unforgettable week!

I got to experience a magical tour of Occitania in the South of France that was meticulously curated. Over seven days, we visited castles, churches, historical sites and landmarks and also got to enjoy outdoor markets along the way. We even got to explore Labouiche, Europe's longest underground ground river and cave. Definitely a highlight. Each day, i learned historical information about the sites, which gave me understanding and appreciation of the lands we were traversing. And did I mention the food? I had great meals the entire time, which I paired with the local wine available at every restaurant we stopped at.”

“Thank you!

The retreat Towards Heliopolis was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. Meeting people in person in a beautiful magical place was a real treat. Marco is someone I have come to love the quality of information he delivers and his commitment to the people who take his courses is unparalleled.

The attention to details and commitment to making sure we were all taken care of and all our little needs being met during our time there was great. Tonelise shares generously knowledge of the area the myth and legends and is profoundly supportive in imparting wisdom and insights.

We visited many truly Sacred places and I felt something tangible going on there, I felt a shift in my energy body, which has stayed with me since. Im so grateful that an opportunity such as this was made available to me A phenomenal once in a lifetime experience. Profound Gratitude!”

“Everything was amazing.

I can't think of anything I would change or was not happy with. You did a fantastic job putting everything together and wrangling everyone and facilitating their needs. The food was great, your home is wonderful. The locations and your knowledge of them was unreal. Making sure we had time with Marco for class and the pathworkings were definitely a highlight. It really took the whole experience to the next level. I have no regrets whatsoever. Once in a lifetime experience!
So yeah, everything was perfect. No complaints. Life-changing I would say!”

Jeremiah - Indianapolis, USA"

“It was such a deeply magical experience
Lunch and Dinners were well planned and at great places - the Michelin Star restaurant superb. I also really enjoyed our home lunch and dinners as much as the restaurants. The quality and variety were great. It was a great idea to break up the first night drive with the wine tasting and dinner - really helped us get comfortable together faster.
Marco gave us great insights and knowledge. The teaching length worked perfectly because of the unrestricted access we had to Marco the entire time. The material was perfectly suited - invaluable and inspiring.
I’m so grateful for all the work you put into researching the region to bring us to these really amazing places. The care in planning and information you possess about these places was very much recognised and appreciated.
It was such a deeply magical experience - the power of the place and initiation is still growing in me.
I would definitely come back again - you and Marco make the perfect pair.
I really appreciate how hard you both worked to make this so amazing for us. Deeply grateful for spending this incredible week with you.”

“The "Towards Heliopolis" retreat, set in the enchanting South of France, was an unforgettable journey of magical teachings, powerful insights, and pure joy. The experience offered the perfect blend of esoteric exploration and genuine fun, all against the stunning backdrop of a region steeped in history.

Our days began with immersive lectures on magick. These sessions, led by Marco, took place in Tonelise’s magnificent home—a true gem of Art Nouveau decor, brimming with artistic charm. 

The food was a celebration of the local cuisine, showcasing the finest delicacies the region has to offer. Afterwards, we embarked on expertly curated excursions to explore the wonders of the land. We wandered through ancient châteaus, marveled at the imposing Cathar castles, sacred natural springs, a temple dedicated to Venus, and even a subterranean river, connecting us with the spiritual heritage of the area.

The retreat culminated in a transformative ritual. It was a fitting finale to a week of spiritual exploration. I return home with not only the beauty of the place etched in my memory, but also the gift of new friendships and experiences that will resonate within me for years to come.”
