Your energy will start coming back to you and together we celebrate this, have fun and you can start to bring that  freedom to start living the life you want! 

When I stumbled across the Mastrogiannis country retreat whilst out on one of my country walks I was immediately sure that it would be the perfect setting for a Space to Grow retreat. Tastefully designed villas and a traditional farmhouse are nestled in seamlessly into the landscape. A tangible sense of peace and comfort and holiday!

I knew it would be the setting as my own system started to unravel and unwind! 

Then I met the owner Maria. A warm and gentle Greek soul who is in touch with her surroundings and her guests.

Showing me around I was impressed with the facilities it has to hold a retreat. A yoga/seminar room, a pretty communal eating area for breakfasts and dinners and the acres and acres of wild landscape available to drop into.

As my eyes gazed out to the sea view I felt happy to make arrangements with Maria to hold amazing retreats here!

The retreat centre is equipped with a catering service and healthy and tasty breakfasts, lunches and dinners will be served on the verandah. The dinners will be served under the stars with candles and good company creating memorable evenings.

You will also have the chance to eat out at local tavernas in your free time and one evening with the group that serve the healthy, simple and yet tasty food Greece is known for. 

Please be aware when booking note that the villa has a private pool but the farmhouse doesn't, hence the lower prices for the farmhouse.

Corfu,

Named the Emerald isle because it is so green, the mermaid isle because of it's shape and the myths that surround it. Corfu is beautiful, gentle, nourishing and healing. The nature and wildlife is outstanding and so is the perfect spot for a Space to grow retreat.

Here writes Homer, The Odyssey, Book VII, 800 BC , *In Scheria/Corfu

The Emerald isle in the blue Ionian sea still holds this allure. This beautiful and magical island has captured so many hearts and souls and it’s easy to see why. You will be naturally under her spell!

Arillas. Your base and destination for relaxation.

Arillas and surrounding area.

The villa and farmhouse are set in the middle of the countryside just outside of Arillas. Free transfers will be available to head into this quiet holiday town every day. Nestled in the North West of the island surrounded by green hills and protected by offshore islands lies a jewel far removed from any loud tourist resort. It is a unique area that has attracted those on a spiritual journey since the 1960's.  From this a wonderful community has flourished consisting of those who want to discover themselves in a deeper way. 

The whole area is bustling with positive energy and you will feel the warm welcome from all those that spend time here. 

The area has a beautiful coastline, fine sandy beaches, and crystal clear waters. 

It is a place to relax, have fun and be immersed in all the beautiful nature that surrounds it.
