About this trip

Stream Renew: The Greek Experience is a gift for the senses. Join me and an extraordinary group of people for a five-day, four night transformational retreat in the beautiful and intimate setting of Koufonisia. An exclusive sanctuary boasting majestic beaches, picturesque white washed houses and the unique energy of Greece. 


The marriage of yoga, deep inner work and travel is a uniquely transformative experience because it allows students & teacher to escape the fog of our everyday lives (filled with commitments, to-dos, work and, family) and, to carve out space to just BE. 


Each day consists of mindfulness exercises, advanced breath work, guided meditations, leadership curriculum, deep listening, individual reflection, small group work, outdoor exploration and connection to nature, healthy and delicious food, and conscious conversations to help you increase self-awareness, find clarity and confidence, and align your passions with your purpose.


We will be staying in two outstanding Villas, 11 people in each. The location is ideal to walk everywhere. The beach is just a short ten minute walk away,  while the picturesque town is a beautiful thirty minutes walk. 


The villas blend harmoniously with the raw landscape of Koufonisia and their large outdoor spaces and patios are ideal for lazy afternoon siestas and reading. The zen atmosphere complemented by a covered outdoor yoga shala where we will practice daily yoga and meditation and a thai-massage room, both made with natural materials.


Please read below to understand whether STREAM is a good fit for you: 


You don't need to be an expert yogi to join, some previous practice is recommended, but don't let that stop you, if tree pose is not your forte, feel free to practice "branch" :). This is yoga for everybody and every body. 


While we will have plenty of time to connect, have fun and play, please bear in mind that this is not a party retreat and consumption of alcohol is not permitted during the duration of the retreat.  


We will gently play with the practice of silence at breakfast time, right after morning yoga and meditation. In our busy lives we rarely experience silence & mindful eating and, both have a profound effect in our wellbeing. 


All yoga props will be provided, you only need to bring comfortable, appropriate clothes to practice. 


Both men and women age of 18 and older are welcome in this retreat. 

Koufonisia Islands

The Koufonisia islands are two tiny gems in the Cyclades, where exotic beaches, friendly locals and great food come in big measures. You will be staying at a complex of traditional dwellings and houses, typical of the islands unique architecture with state-of-the-art services. 


Most of the villas stand in a tranquil spot in the northeast of the island, just a few minutes’ walk from Pori, one of the most beautiful beaches in the Aegean and one of them overlooks Italida and Fanos beach.

Muchas gracias Mariona. You created a fantastic down to earth program which was at the same time very powerful and profound. Amazing group of people, the setting was like a dream. Overall simply wonderful.

Our time in Greece was magical. Mariona is a truly inspirational mentor and a gentle spiritual guide. She helps uncover treasures about oneself which in turns leads to growth. Our Villa was also great along with all the other retreat attendees. Will definitely be looking forward to the next one to come!

Once again (it was my second retreat with Mariona), the experience was wonderful ! I really enjoy this second retreat, it is a fantastic opportunity to step back, check our inner feelings and emotions and eventually to reconnect with oneself and the Truth. The group was really great, we really had a great fun in a very relaxed way with a very positive vibe. The place was just outstanding with an amazing view, the vegan menu was delicious, full of taste & savor. Once again, thank you very much Mariona for such a wonderful experience and I am just looking forward to the next one !!! Stephanie

Fantastic !!!! I came all the way from Dubai to Nosara to attend this yoga retreat in Costa Rica, led by the professional Life Coach Mariona and it was above my expectations ! Not only I learnt a lot about yoga practice in my day-to-day life but I also had great, great fun thanks to a wonderful group of people. Mariona managed to create an harmonious group of persons where simplicity and "joie de vivre" were prevailing. It has been a great temporary disconnection with the daily routine of life and a fabulous reconnection with myself. I strongly recommend Mariona's retreat to anyone wishing to step back for a little while and to reconnect with oneself. I can't wait the next one !!!

Mariona is a very special and talented person, she shared with us her wisdom and knowledge and showed us how we could use these tools in our everyday life. She made all of us feel integrated, in no time we were all part of this beautiful group. The location "Boddhi Tree Resort" in Nosara, Costa Rica was ideal, it had a fantastic location. It was an amazing trip. An unforgettable retreat. Loved it.
