Renew, Remember, Embody, Grow
 
Explore the eastern practices of Yoga, Ayurveda, and Meditation. Through these practices we will be able to connect, listen, and trust that guiding voice within. We will have time to renew our vital life-force energy, remember and unlock our knowledge within, embody our truth and the lessons we learn, and grow and develop into a clearer more accurate version of ourselves.
 
Each day we will spend time in meaningful and practical workshops, allowing us to dig deep and see clearly. To find our voice, rediscover our light, embrace our inner warrior, take back our power, and embody our truth.
 
In the noise of modern life, the significance of embracing meditation, yoga, and Ayurveda emerges as a beacon of serenity and well-being. These ancient practices form a trinity of wisdom, offering a profound journey inward for both the mind and body. Meditation becomes the sacred pause in our frenetic existence, a gateway to inner peace and heightened awareness. Yoga, with its harmonious blend of movement and mindfulness, becomes a transformative dance that aligns the physical and spiritual realms. Ayurveda, the science of life, unveils the art of holistic living, harmonizing the body's rhythms with nature's ebbs and flows. Together, these disciplines guide us towards a balanced existence, fostering not just physical health but a profound connection to our inner selves. In learning these sacred arts, we unlock the keys to resilience, self-discovery, and a life steeped in profound well-being.

LOCATION: Paros Island, Greece
Nestled in the embrace of the azure Aegean Sea, Paros Island in Greece stands as a radiant jewel, captivating the hearts of those fortunate enough to wander its sun-kissed shores. Within this paradisiacal haven, a home perches majestically on a hilltop, overlooking the island's most pristine district. As the sun gracefully sets behind the cerulean horizon, casting a warm glow over whitewashed buildings and cobblestone streets, the panoramic view from this elevated abode unfolds like a masterpiece painted by nature itself. Bougainvillea cascades down the walls in vibrant hues, echoing the riot of colors that dance in the narrow alleyways below. The gentle melody of the Aegean breeze whispers through olive trees, while the fragrance of Mediterranean blooms infuses the air with a sweet, intoxicating perfume. From this privileged vantage point, the home becomes a sanctuary where one can bask in the timeless beauty of Paros, where the ancient charm of the island converges with modern elegance. Life here is a celebration of simplicity, authenticity, and the sheer magnificence of a place where the boundaries between earth and paradise seamlessly blur.

Indulge in the exquisite flavors of authentic Greek cuisine at our retreat, where the artistry of organic and vegetarian dishes takes center stage.

Courtney’s Journey to the Sacred retreat was above what I could have planned for or imagined. The depth of work that I was able to accomplish in the short period of time we were at the retreat was truly amazing. This is because of the very well thought out schedule, activities, group, and personal time balance. The venue chosen for the retreat was also incredible and the additional activities (volcano hike) was such a beautiful addition to the personal work. 5 stars and I can’t wait to return for another retreat with Wholesome Alchemy!

I absolutely loved the trip! It was a beautiful over all experience. I thought Courtney did an amazing job with everything from choosing the venue to creating the content of the retreat to honing all the details, etc etc. I felt very held and supported before, during and after the retreat! The location was phenomenal. The people I met/connected with/re-connected with at the retreat were also amazing and I am just very very grateful for the experience. Everything was just amazing- it’s really hard to put into words what I got out of the experience but it was incredible! I would highly recommend taking a Wholesome Alchemy retreat to anyone it will be soooo worth the investment!

Having to describe this trip in words will take away from the mystical experience but I will do my best! The Journey to the Sacred was a magical and life changing experience. The location of Lake Atitlan Guatemala provided breathtaking views that radiated peace and power. The beautiful lake was surrounded by impressive volcanoes that gave me a sense of wonder and holiness. Courtney is a fantastic teacher. She lead the yoga (asana), mediations, and workshops in a professional and loving way. It was a unique experience to receive professional teaching of information around the 8 limbs of yoga and ayurveda while simultaneously experiencing world class yoga and meditation sessions. There were many times where I felt the presence of sacred divinity around me. It was like I was high on life and my soul was charging up to a higher frequency as each day passed. The food there was delicious and nutritious. Although I am not a vegan at home I found the vegan dishes to be extremely tasty and filling. The balance of structured activities and down time to enjoy the beautiful farm and lake was perfectly precise. The other attendees were incredible individuals and I am confident that some of them are now lifelong friends. I thoroughly enjoyed every single aspect of the Journey to the Sacred and will most definitely be attending another Wholesome Alchemy retreat lead by Courtney very soon! Thank you for the life changing and soul charging experience!

The Journey to the Sacred retreat led by Courtney was honestly the best retreat I have ever been on! It was thoughtfully executed with a mixture of yoga practice, meditation, learning and self growth. I truly felt that I gained so much personal growth and clarity for my life. I would go on ANY retreat Courtney facilitates and you should too!
By Courtney L for Journey To The Sacred (Spirituality, Yoga, Meditation, Ayurveda) on Aug 14, 2021
