About this trip

Discover the Power of the Divine Feminine through the many faces of the Goddess on this 7 night retreat in the heart of Greece with Cathy Connors & Allie Rae and special musical guest Jaya Lakshmi. Join us and a global tribe of women for an immersive experience into the path of yoga through twice daily asana practice, kriya, ritual offering, meditation, mantra, pranayama and more! 


Each morning we will begin with a morning ritual offering (Puja) followed by meditation, mantra, kriya, pranayama and asana practice followed by a delicious organic breakfast buffet. The afternoons will be free for you to lounge by the pool, take a stroll into the nearest village, relax on Aegialis Beach or take advantage of the spa facilities. Lunch will be on your own as we find this is the best for those who want to explore off property. The evenings we'll gather again for another immersive practice plus sacred conversation around the Divine Feminine, Goddesses of the Yoga tradition, Journaling and Sisterhood. Our hope is that you leave feeling full, nourished and connected in the Spirit of Sisterhood.

About Aegialis Hotel & Spa

Defined “the jewel of Amorgos” by its guests, Aegialis Hotel and Spa has well deserved the title thanks to its breathtaking views over the crystal clear bay and the amenity of its location. Standing proudly on the top of a rocky hill, immersed in a green oasis of unspoiled nature, it responds to the guests’ need for rest, peace and tranquility. The warm welcome from the owners and personnel, the high standard of service and the comfort of the facilities all contribute to offering a unique experience of the local authentic life on a Greek island.


Aegialis hotel & spa is the only 5 star hotel in Amorgos Island as a cozy retreat built in the traditional Cycladic architectural style and encircled by two of the most beautiful sandy beaches of the island. The Hotel houses a small world of blue and white buildings set into the hillside, so that all the traditionally-furnished and fully-equipped rooms and suites benefit from the stunning views over the bay and the surrounding islands. All rooms offer amazing views of the Aegean sea and the Aegiali beach. The unique Amorgian hospitality in combination with the Cycladic beauty promises you memories you will always treasure.

This was a fabulous trip! Wonderful people! Delicious food! Stunning scenery! Comfortable accommodations! Highly recommend!!
By Andrea H for Nourish Your Soul ~ Greece Retreat on May 03, 2023
I never could have imagined how wonderful this retreat was!! The week was magical. Morning mediation, followed by beautiful yoga sessions that incorporated different practices that kept me energized throughout the day. The afternoons were open to relaxing by the pool, excursions, beach, whatever you were up for doing. Afternoon sessions were flexible with the needs of the group: discussions, mediation, or gentle yoga in a beautiful studio with incredible views of the ocean and mountainside. Time was still. It was amazing group of women that I feel I will always be connected to. The accommodations were incredible. Breakfast and dinner did not disappoint, plenty of options for everyone and fresh! There was so much to do and see on the Island of Amorgos. Plenty of restaurants, cute shops, and local bars. The Hozoviotissa Monestary is a must see and recommend the city tour that the Aegialis Hotel & Spa provides. Cathy and Allie made the whole experience so empowering...a time that left an imprint on my soul. I feel forever grateful to be apart of this amazing retreat. NAMASTE!

The resort hotel was lovely. I had a private room that was clean and very comfortable. The hotel staff was pleasant. Very hardworking group who saw to our every need. Our yoga space was spectacular. It was cleaned and set up for our use twice daily with a spectacular view of the Aegean Sea. Cathy and Allie’s program was beyond my expectations of some yoga education and time with new women. It was a life transformation and the beginning of 20 new relationships with an amazing group of women. I am blessed to have had this opportunity of a lifetime. Thank you Cathy Connors and Allie Rae and all of the goddesses for their bravery and love. Namaste. ?? Debbie

This was my first retreat and I never would have imagined that I would experience such love, compassion and sense of community as I did on this trip. I was taking this alone in the beginning and found that I had “sisters” there with me. Thank you Cathy and Allie for providing me with an opportunity to connect with powerful women!!
