SelfHealing Circle with Roses
Hosted by Val’s Place & Tai Chi Matrix
Time: 10:30 AM to 5:30 PM
Location: Val’s Place, Gialia, Cyprus
Join us for a transformative one-day workshop exploring self-healing through the energy of the Rose. Led by Eleni Dimitrou, Parichard Holm, and Tylene Wood, this event is open to both women and men who wish to reconnect with their feminine energy and healing patterns.
Workshops will be conducted in English, with Greek translation available.
The Healing Power of the Rose
The Rose has been a sacred symbol for centuries, representing the soul’s journey toward the Divine. Christian mystics honored the Mystical Rose, while Sufi traditions saw its unfolding petals as a path to enlightenment. Beyond its symbolism, the Rose holds one of the highest vibrational frequencies in nature (320 MHz), making it a powerful tool for energy purification, heart healing, and spiritual awakening.
By working with the frequency of the Rose, we can restore balance, strengthen our boundaries, and activate feminine consciousness. This workshop offers an opportunity to deepen self-awareness and tap into the healing potential of this sacred plant.
Workshop Program

Prepare and enjoy Rose Tea, create smudge wands using roses, sage, and other health promoting herbs, and extract Rose Water for purification. You will go home with your smudge wand to cleanse your personal space and rose water spray to refresh and restore the face.

Scientific studies reveal that Roses emit one of the highest vibrational frequencies in nature approximately 320 MHz. In comparison, a healthy human body vibrates at 62-68 MHz, with illness often arising when frequencies drop below 58 MHz.

4. How do I get to Cyprus and the venue?
You can fly directly to Cyprus from most European destinations, either to Larnaca Airport (LCA), which is a 2-hour drive to your venue, or to Paphos Airport (PFO), which is recommended as it is only a 1-hour drive to Val’s Place in the village of Gialia. Another option is to fly via Athens. It is recommended to check out Momondo for various flight options from your country.
5. How do I get to the venue if my accommodation is elsewhere?

Car Rental: You can rent a car with an airport pick-up service. This option provides flexibility and convenience for getting to the venue and around the area.
Motorbike or Bicycle Rental: The road to the venue is straightforward and quiet, making it suitable for riding a motorbike or bicycle. This can be a more adventurous and cost-effective option.
Ride Sharing: Participants may share rides, so you can coordinate with other attendees to carpool.
Local Friends' Support: Local friends with vehicles will be available to help you get to and from your accommodation throughout the week.
