about Alethe

Alethe is a collective of people who are committed to bringing through the new paradigm of reclaiming our forgotten connection to the Great Mother. Each person does this through their unique craft.

A-lethe is a word derived from the ancient Greek (α-λήθη) which translates as the absence of this state of forgetfulness. We envision a new world where people know who they are, they embody their connection to the Great Mother and they recognise their innate Divinity. Hence their creations are aligned with that knowing – they are rooted in love rather than fear.

In Alethe we cultivate the ground for true intimacy with oneself and with other (including everything in the natural world). This is our commitment and deep intimacy is the binding quality in all our offerings.

Daphne is an experienced facilitator who was born and grew up in Crete. She spent 22 years studying and working abroad and has a diverse background of experience that includes electrical engineering, environmental consultancy and personal and professional coaching. She has been designing and delivering personal and professional development programmes as a freelance facilitator since 2008.

Since 2014 after completing a year long programme called ‘Women’s Initiatory Journey’ she has embarked on a path of remembering how to live her life according to the authority of her soul rather than just following the patterns of the inherited programme. In 2018 she returned to her birthplace after her soul guided her to support the awakening of Crete. Ever since she has been following guidance that has included walking pilgrimages and performing certain ceremonies in various locations in order to awaken the feminine power of the island whilst assisting the healing of the land from the historically heavy distorted warrior energy. Moreover on a more practical level she has been enabling local women to access the same tools she has been using for her own awakening.

Daphne brings care, dedication and resilience to everything she does. She is a clear and empathic communicator enabling transformational outcomes on potentially difficult conversations and situations. She has supported (and continues to support) several projects, small companies and individuals facing a crisis to recover and embark on a new path.

Daphne also supports facilitators to design and / or deliver bespoke experiences for their group whilst on Crete.

Eledina Palasoglou is an artist. Her journey began in N.Michaniona, a small seaside village near Thessaloniki, where her deep connection to the sea and the divine was shaped from an early age. Growing up, her parents instilled in her a strong sense of spirituality, regularly taking her to church. However, as she observed the rituals and the separation between men and women within the church, she began to question whether God was truly as presented there. She felt a disconnect between the love of God that she experienced within herself and the lack of that love she saw in the people around her at church. This led Eledina to doubt and to seek God as she felt him within, searching for his true expression in the world around her.

Nature, particularly the sea in Eledina’s coastal village, became her sanctuary. It was there that she felt the connection and love that she instinctively knew was inclusive and embracing, unlike the divisions she perceived in the church. Her spiritual quest took her down many paths, from rebelling against the religion of her upbringing to exploring different spiritual traditions and practices. Eledina’s deeper connection with the spiritual world began with the use of psychedelic substances and plants like mushrooms and ayahuasca. These experiences allowed her to feel, on a profound level, that everything is interconnected and inseparable.

However, Eledina soon realized that even the psychedelic world had its limitations, leading her to seek the truth within herself—the truth of her own connection to the web of life. Eledina discovered that everything she thinks and experiences is a creation of her own being and that there is no separation between herself and the world she inhabit. This realization marked the beginning of a profound internal journey, where Eledina sought to understand the mysteries of life that her family couldn’t explain.

Eledina’s journey of self-discovery has been deeply intertwined with her creative pursuits. She studied arts, freehand drawing, and fashion design, which became powerful tools for expressing her creativity. Through painting and creating jewelry, Eledina channels her passion into personalized art that resonates with the essence of those who experience it. Her goal is to create pieces that serve as reminders—when someone wears Eledina’s jewelry or gazes upon her art, they reconnect with their true, authentic selves. Each piece is infused with the vibration of their essence, captured through Eledina’s intuitive process.

Over time, Eledina encountered teachers and mentors who provided some of the answers she was looking for. Through their guidance, she began to turn these answers into lived experiences within her body. By processing her emotions, integrating her soul and essence, and cultivating practices that bring her to a place of calm and stillness, Eledina have found peace with her experience on Earth. She is learning to embrace the void within —a space that once felt empty but now holds immense potential for creation and freedom.
