about Alethe
Alethe is a living body of work devoted to restoring our felt connection with nature, ourselves, and one another.
The name A-lethe is a word derived from the ancient Greek (α-λήθη), meaning the absence of forgetfulness—a remembering of what is already true and alive within us.
At the heart of Alethe is a simple yet radical intention: to create spaces where people can slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with who they are beneath conditioning, urgency, and fear. When this remembering happens, our choices, relationships, and creations naturally begin to align with care, presence, and integrity.
Alethe is founded and guided by Daphne, who holds the vision and direction of the work. Alongside her is Eledina, a close collaborator and trained facilitator, with whom the foundational pilgrimages and experiences were shaped and brought into form.
The roots of Alethe are also informed by the guidance of Zuzana, Daphne’s astrology mentor, whose insights and transmissions helped give rise to the original questions that led to the pilgrimages and the unfolding of this work. Her presence continues to quietly inform the field from which Alethe emerges.
Across all its expressions—retreats, pilgrimages, mentoring, and gatherings—Alethe is devoted to cultivating deep intimacy: with oneself, with others, and with the wider living world. This intimacy is not an idea, but a lived experience, and it is the binding thread that runs through everything we offer.

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, couples 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.
Zuzanna Vee grew up in America, and headed to England at 19 where she stayed for 15 years. She studied and taught yoga, meditation, herbal healing, and had many world-wide adventures…
Zuzanna moved back to America in 1991. She created Goddess Astrology through transmission from her Inter-dimensional Team; she is a tarot reader and interspecies communicator; she paints her dreams, and speaks Star Language. She and her Team are currently developing new modes of healing and communicating through the body’s natural inner technologies interfacing with Gaia’s Network of Light.
Zuzanna’s purpose in life is to support women in excavating their beautiful, authentic, Wild Witch Woman selves, and to be unapologetically Real.
