The Avyah Experience
Unlocking the moon wisdom
12-16 June 2025
Join me in welcoming this summer with an unprecedented female experience that is bound to offer
you healing, balance, wisdom and joy. In 5 days, together, we will unlock the power of the ancient
moon wisdom, just like the lunar priestess did 13,000 years ago. We will explore the ancient way of
life and the secrets of the moon as lived by the moon priestess in the ancient times of the beginning
of human history. With the help of 5 Keys, we will revive the dormant secret of female wisdom and
open the doors that bring together all feminine strengths in harmony.
This summer we are moving from sea level to mountain level and shall be convening in Mystras, a
UNESCO heritage site, a unique ancient Crusader city in the heart of the Peloponnese.
Euphoria Retreat offers us the perfect location to complement our unique moon experience with an
Earth one based on the 5 earth elements: fire, earth, metal, water and wind.
The location is perfectly situated and suited for our meditation and Moon Yoga sessions, our lessons
on the recently discovered wisdom of the moon, hiking and more and more fulfilling activities
indoors and the great outdoors. And of course, a retreat dedicated to the Moon, includes the one of
a kind Full Moon ceremony which one has just to experience it as words cannot do it justice.
What makes AVYAH retreats so special
Discover the secrets of the moon with the five keys
Join a one of a kind profound experience, in which we will connect with the energy of the moon through the five keys:
Name, Sound, Form, Place and Time.
With the help of these keys, we will open the gates to ancient feminine wisdom, strengthen the connection to the cycles of nature, and find balance between body, mind and spirit.
This is your opportunity to connect with the roots, free and empower yourself in a wonderful place, in the heart of nature.

A few words about me
My name is Galit Avyah Ben Tovel and I have been on an amazing life journey that has taken me across both geographies and time. A journey that has led me to unimaginable discoveries about who I am and how I can best fulfil my purpose in life.
By all means, this journey is ongoing but I feel the urge to share it with you and pass on the torch that helped me turn my life around when I believed I was stuck in realities imposed on me by society and what is considered appropriate.
I hold a Ph.D. in Egyptology from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where I received the Bernhard Bloomfield Award and in a twist of professional orientation, I am a graduate of Georgetown University.
For the last 16 years, my professional life was spread across all areas of corporate life. I have been the CEO and owner of an organizational consulting business, advising high-tech companies, hospitals and leadership from the public and private sectors. I was the head of the leadership department at Sela Group, where I taught and developed programs to improve management skills for managers and employees. I also taught at the Business School of Reichman University, specializing in organizational behavior and management.
10 years ago, while navigating personal and professional challenges like we all do on a daily basis, I discovered a lost wisdom that was practiced by ancient women who were connected to Mother Earth. Their wisdom was related to the worship of the moon and was common in various sites all over the world around 11,000 BC. These values of the lost wisdom were about love, unity, wisdom, freedom and brotherhood. This pulled me back to my first love for archaeology and have been since then deep diving and unearthing concepts and ways of life that were dormant for centuries. These are the beliefs and values that I now feel compelled to broadcast, share with family, friends and all of you out there who are on your own journey to self-fulfillment and to finding meaning in what appears to have become a vain world.
I am confident that these ancient beliefs and practices can bring a new and inspiring perspective that can lead humanity to a life of harmony, balance, joy and peace among all people, on our planet. I believe in people and their power to change .
