Imagine rising amongst the island air and restorative ambience of Kea, to begin your day on retreat...with the intention of relaxation, rejuvenation, wellness and awakening to your vitality, lightheartedness, easeful joy AND the potential for growth...and reconnection to self and soul.....
Welcome to Kea Retreat, a sanctuary for the soul. A place where silence and the pace of nature holds you, and the warm Greek culture embraces and touches tenderly every part of your being, mind, body and spirit. Here, on Kea Island, on retreat, you will be surrounded by the many elements of nature: the stony coastal cliffs, the view of the sparkling sea... the beach sand & swimmable crystal blue ocean water (just a 2 minute walk from your room)....and the vitality and warmth of the sun, along with the gentle off-shore breezes and spacious skies above. Nourishing organic farm to table meals will be cooked lovingly for you and offered with heart and the invitation for mindfulness, connection, laughter, kindness and community while you eat. The rest of the day is yours as you wish to create it: an adventure inland to one of the many ancient trails nearby, a paddle in a kayak in the sea, or simply relaxation by the pool or on the beach. Perhaps even an on-site massage session in the outdoor private massage shala awaits you. In the evenings, enjoy a meal influenced by authentic Greek culture, creative, healthy, elevated and with seasonal fare, while sharing the table with our retreat family/community...the experience infused with contentment and laughter all the while grounding you and continually inviting you back to being in the present moment amongst new and old friends, slowing down and soaking it all in... The many moments of blessings and invitations for heartfelt nourishment will be all around and...within you.
Preceding or following dinner, (In the late afternoons or early evenings,) a restorative session will be offered. Wonderfully relaxed, you'll invite yourself into a deep sleep under the star-filled night for healing in all realms of mind body and spirit (and the potential to recover from any chronic debilitating stress/imbalances/tension/pain/adrenal fatigue/burnout/etc.,.) Post-slumber, awaken to a new day and begin again... offering your self space and awareness for revitalizing your own wellness... while in this very special place, with an amazing group of people, on this once in a lifetime experience in Greece, on retreat.
MOON MEDICINE: Awakening to the Divine Wisdom Within... this place on earth at this time, honoring the cycles of nature, nourishing your heart and soul and inviting the energy of spring season and your Inner (Greek) Goddess/Feminine energy to stir... We will be in the prime of Taurus Sun season, and we will theme our retreat, inspired by this nourishing earth element sign, as well as its Feminine energy/ruler being Venus ( also known as Aphrodite in Greek culture, which invites in the teachings of love, beauty & the Divine Feminine.)
With the light and inspiration of the moon, as it waxes and grows brighter throughout our days spent in Greece together, we will honor and discuss each of the Feminine astrological signs the moon passes through, until it reaches its peak fullness, illuminating splendor, awe and the spiritual essence of the "Flower Moon": The wisdom (teachings) from this beautiful Full moon (in Scorpio) will be our Moon Medicine: love, joy, and celebration... and it will be a powerful invitation for releasing what obstructs us from deeper connection with self and self-love/nourishment, while also opening us up to setting intentions that harness the Moon's magical energy to bring about abundance, pleasure, celebration of life, laughter and meaningful connection.
The light of the moon will reflect back to us, the divine energy and universal wisdom that is already within us... we just simply need the environment, intention and permission to slow down enough to turn inward/in connection to and with a curious open-heart, to tap into the depths of ancient feminine healing and awaken that (subtle but powerful) transformational energy...
...And with the Full Moon shining over the waters of the Aegean sea.:
We are the witnesses AND we are witnessed... and we are held and initiated into invitation. For deepening into the illumination of our radiant joy, our potential for boundless love & compassion, gratitude for our own inner beauty and Source-wisdom... as well as receiving the call for spiritual growth, heartfelt meaningful purpose.... and transformation.
****
Slow adventures await you to explore the Aegean Sea and Kea Island: for living and learning more about yourself, holding space with likeminded people and investing in your own personal growth and soul's evolution through connection/reconnection to your own Divine Wisdom Within, and Feminine Taurus energy and your own Inner (Greek) Goddess essence. Taurus season invites us to slow down to awaken to the nourishment of our heart chakra and remember the essence of our spirit and soul.
Outward adventure choices will potentially include: one or two person sea kayaking; hikes amongst the many beautiful ancient trails throughout the island; visiting a nearby temple and/or monastery at sunset; shopping and/or exploring the ancient town of Ioulida; as well as other potential explorations all with the intention to take in, with reverence, the heart of Greek culture and its stunning land and location by the sea.
This retreat will offer space for remembering that the higher vibrations of love, compassion, kindness, gratitude and self-care are always accessible to you... And through this time spent on retreat together, holding space for each other and connecting to each other's hearts and souls, we give ourselves permission to step away from and let go of the daily stressors and pressures of life. This gifts us freedom, ease and an allowance to slow down enough to reflect, and invite healing introspection... it is then that we are truly able to ground and relax and soften, and begin to peel back the layers of distraction/chaos/tension/stress/outside societal influence... Thus, through this process we connect inwards and arrive in to touching upon a deeper part of ourselves. And it is in this place of inner knowing, where we feel aligned, soulful, and at ease... This is the place that sources your Divine Wisdom Within. The invitation for your presence is welcomed here (mind body soul and spirit) as we offer this sacred pause to nourish our entire being.
You are warmly welcome to join us in the spring of April 2026 for this seven day/six night Yoga Retreat on the beautiful island of Kea in the Aegean Sea, just off the coast of Athens, Greece.
Restore to Renew, Reconnect to Revitalize... And allow for the MOON MEDICINE to facilitate a remembrance of who you are at your core/soul... Divine. Feminine. Strength. Softness.
Thus, our time together, will be an invitation to Awaken to this Wisdom Within you...
This event will take place at Kea Retreat and we will enjoy the ancient land and sea views via their lovely intimate space, retreat grounds, private beach/private bay, pool, outdoor shaded yoga shala, organic farm, olive groves and vineyard. (This is an intimate family-run retreat venue with 7 double occupancy/shared boutique hotel rooms and an onsite Michelin star chef to provide meals for us.)
"A serene sanctuary, nestled on a secluded bay & farm. Inspired by love for Greek culture – celebrating nature, food and life, Kea Retreat offers a sanctuary to rest, relax, and reconnect."
This retreat experience is geared toward any and all yoga enthusiasts (experienced and beginner practitioners are all welcome!) We will gather daily for morning sessions in the beachfront outdoor yoga shala (overlooking Psathi Bay.) Our morning sessions may consist of a Creative/Slow Flow vinyasa, Gentle and/or Yin practices and will be integrated with meditation/mudra as well as pranayama & breath awareness. Throughout the week, we'll honor all the elements of nature that surround us, and especially connect to the Third Eye, Throat, Heart, Sacral and Root chakras. Afternoons or evenings will include a restorative/relaxation session. Again, all levels/yoga experience are welcome. This retreat is for anyone who is yearning for heartfelt inspiration and a sacred pause from daily life, that includes supportive group adventure, a circle of community, connection/reconnection to self & soul... & the invitation for discovery, remembrance, reverence and love for self through the lens of Divine energies (the empowerment/strength alongside the softness/tenderness of the sacred Feminine) while also honoring awareness of Source-presence and deep resonance of true universal/soul Wisdom that exists within you.
You'll be guided through the elements of nature and sequences for grounding, hip-opening and heart-led practices, all with the intention for Svadhyaya (self-study) as well as be offered opportunity to open/release stuck energy along energetic channels/meridians and within the chakras.
New explorations in this coastal/island landscape await you...all with intention to connect and soften into your heart space, love for life and deepen your connection to Feminine energy and receive Moon Medicine: in essence, the Full Moon's illumination will awaken a remembrance of your own inner beauty, divine loving presence & potential, a well-spring of compassion and a meaningful connection to your own Divine Wisdom Within.
On the final night of day/retreat, a Full Moon Ritual will be offered to celebrate the awe and splendor of nature and divinity in the sky, and potentiate growth and transformation:
You'll be invited to connect/reconnect to your own Source-presence, your own divine nature within and express that Inner (Greek) Goddess and Lunar Feminine energy... softness, strength, power, poise, sensuality, wisdom, inspiration, intuition, truth.
...and essentially feel resonance with all the subtle energy that exists within you... for nourishment, for awakening, for empowerment, for healing.
The Full Moon Ritual's supportive purpose is to not only connect to ourselves, but to hold loving presence and a safe space for our entire circle and retreat family. This Full moon in Scorpio, also called the Flower Moon and in the season of the spring/Taurus sun sign, will be a time to release old baggage and invite the blooming of spiritual growth... like a flower that embraces the initiation of change and transformation, we will deepen our shared connection into a joyful celebration of sensuality, the beauty of nature, and the potential we all have for awakening into a new season of growth and abundance...
This precious retreat time is a gift: it will allow us seven days to connect to nature's elements, the moon, the earth, the sea, sunshine, community, yoga - all in discovery of what makes your heart smile, feel coherence & connection to your soul, and relax with ease, awe, wonder and delight.
Note: there will be plenty of free time and opportunities to add-on (optional) daytime excursions to explore the surrounding area ( kayaking, hiking ancient trails, walking to/visiting nearby town of Ioulida, etc.,)
****Other simpler activities you also might consider, include exploring the private beach or private bay via kayak; exploring the herbal farm grounds and/or olive groves; reading/relaxing on an outdoor sun bed with umbrella; finding a moment of peace and pure presence in a hammock; journaling; receiving an on-site massage or simply enjoying yourself and the view of the Aegean sea as you lounge and relax by the pool.
RETREAT VENUE:
"Located in Psathi Bay on the Greek island of Kea, Kea Retreat is tucked within a stoney mountain range and in front of a remote and pristine crystal blue water bay. Its virgin landscape, bountiful farm, and traditional, stylish design, allows visitors to enjoy the silence and peace of nature and the passionate authenticity of the vibrant Greek culture. Kea Retreat was inspired by our love for Greek culture, which celebrates nature, food, and life, and meditative practices such as yoga and silence. Melding these worlds, Kea retreat offers its guests a sanctuary to rest, relax and reconnect with nature and their natural selves."
"The retreat space includes a flourishing vegetable garden, large olive grove, and vineyard, all of which were planted using traditional Greek farming techniques providing an abundant, sustainable, and delicious experience for its guests. Paired with produce from local farmers and modern high end touches, all dishes embody a local, plentiful, and flavorful Greek quality."
"Accommodations are restored Kathikies (traditional Greek stone farmhouses) that date back hundreds of years, merging into the hill’s rocky habitat and overlooking an endless Aegean sea view."
ISLAND
"In the island's inland, you will find a lush natural paradise with forests and cultivations in abundance. In the heart of the island sits its ancient capital, Ioulida, where architectural traces from different historical periods can be visited. Ioulida is the most preserved of the four ancient cities of the island and holds an extensive network of trekking paths that remain a great way to explore the island’s secrets.
In addition to the whitewashed architecture, Kea is full of traditional farmhouses in earthy tones, evidence of its rich agricultural history and tradition of cohabiting in the natural landscape. As for its beaches, they are mostly secluded and completely untouched allowing visitors to explore and discover intimate and beautiful virgin sandy shores.
The island's proximity to the mainland and unspoiled environment make it the perfect getaway for locals and nature lovers. Kea is a sanctuary of relaxation."

"I have to say, that the Yoga retreat was a little miracle for me. It was eye-opening how out of touch I have been with my core and center. Lots going on in the brain, not so much checking in with the heart / minds-eye these past years. Thank you so much for the opportunity and for creating such a safe space for discovery. I'm pumped; but I'm also giving myself time for it all to work its way into the chaos and complication of life! Slowly but surely.
Last week I had the experience of not taking my sleeping meds three nights in a row and sinking into a peaceful sleep, and that is unheard of for me in recent times. So I'm motivated to keep working on more holistic ways to address my anxiety/stress. I read your professional bio and I think you are a really good fit for me, especially with the areas you are now making a focus of your practice.
I'm overjoyed! Very grateful for this new connection, on a professional and personal level.
p.s. -- Several people were very envious of my retreat experience and I bet you will get some joiners based on word of mouth of this group. I hope it's something that I will be able to attend as well, so keep me in the loop!"
-Julia P.
"Attending Dr. Kelly Moyaert's yoga retreat...was truly a transformative experience. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and deeply nourishing - both physically and spiritually. Dr. Kelly brings a rare combination of wisdom, compassion, and grounding energy to her teaching. Her classes struck the perfect balance between movement and mindfulness, and she created a space that felt safe, supportive, and empowering for everyone involved. The retreat location was stunning - serene, peaceful, and the perfect backdrop for reflection and growth. Every detail was thoughtfully curated from the delicious, nourishing meals to the excursions and down time that gave us space to reconnect with ourselves. If you're looking for more than just a yoga retreat - if you're seeking true restoration, insight, and a sense of community - I can't recommend Dr. Kelly's retreat enough. It's an experience that stays with you long after you return home."
-Sarah M.
I came to Kelly three months ago not knowing exactly what to expect. I felt like I was at a
critical moment in my healing process – I was ready to move on from my childhood woundings,
but I felt stuck, and I felt that my stuckness was in part tied to having been in trauma for so
much of my life that my body didn’t know how to relax into a restful state. I found Kelly’s bio in
a systematic search of naturopathic physicians in Seattle, and I just felt safe reading her words;
the way that she described bodies and wellness invited me to see myself as whole and her as
partner, which was such a different (and healing) experience than I’ve encountered in my
lifetime of regular interactions with healthcare professionals. And meeting her – and then
working with her – has brought that safe and healing experience full circle, into my body.
Kelly’s capacity to hold space for my whole self, to be with my body and invite it into deeper
healing, and to support its restoration to balance with her intuitive bodywork and her
compassionate presence, and her consistent affirmation that my body is whole and has
everything it needs to be healed…it’s changed my life. I not only feel better than I have in
years, I am moving out of the trauma and survival mindset that has permeated my life for as
long as I can remember, and acting in ways that are brave and grounded and peaceful and true.
I cannot recommend Kelly highly enough.
-Amy R.
Dr. Kelly Moyaert’s approach is very personal and life-changing. Now I sleep through the night, no longer have afternoon crashes and have much improved energy. Her thoughtful care includes leading me through a therapeutic way of eating that is healing me from the inside out. Above all, she makes me feel as if she’s always by my side, encouraging me that I can do this and it will get better.
-Judy A.
