About this trip

I have long since considered my life to be a path of many mirrors. Many relationships, many dwellings and many practices. My passion for practice and the unique mirrors each one offers has given my life a bountiful richness I cannot otherwise imagine. For me, this variety is a gift. My practices are my friends, my allies, unwaveringly dependable and playful. 


I know each practice I have spent time with has been an essential mirror for my understanding at both micro and macro levels. Who I am, who I’ve been, who I am becoming and how the whole universe is dancing our strings. At any given moment I can attune myself through practice to the mirror I need to look into at that particular time. Each practice its own unique field of perspective on the universal love holding us all together. The one web, one person, one mind, one. Each practice a pathway of slightly different scenery leading to the same truth. Sometimes I’ve got to see it laying down and sometimes to see it I’ve got to shake it out.


Greece has been and continues to be one of my favorite mirrors. Pure, raw, deep, sensual and completely boundless. I am looking forward to sharing a variety of my favorite practices with you this year. Each one a mirror to your truth and the truth while existing in the divine mirror of the land, sea and skies of the Greek islands. I pray these practices will thread their way into your life as you continue to create your own unique collection of divine mirrors.


This will be my third time returning to this retreat center on Paros. It is absolutely the most amazing center I have ever been to in all my retreat travels. The first time I went there I knew it was home and returning solidified that even more within my heart. I cant wait to share it with you!


Our days will open with beautiful asana and meditation practices followed by abundant brunches, long beach days on the mediterranean sea, group gatherings, song, mantra, workshops, ceremony, restorative yoga, yoga nidra and a day of sweet silence for your soul. All of these practices are intended to heal and reflect the truth of the celebration of life within you.

I live in reverence for deepening awareness of source, expanding consciousness and uniting healing hearts. My retreats are designed to be transformational experiences and ask that you enter with this heightened awareness. Come open to receive all that you are meant to, surrender your ideas of what anything is supposed to look like and be willing to let the path unveil itself through vulnerability, tenderness, beauty and joy. Embracing the full spectrum of life allows us to more deeply understand our wholeness.

Jes' energy is pure magic and I am so glad I answered this call from the heart and joined this incredible retreat in Paros, Greece! Yoga asana, workshops, sound healing, Yoga Nidra, meditation - Jes is so knowledgeable and I'm so grateful I got to spend some time with her in the beauty of Greece. I loved the fact this retreat included some island exploring and a day trip to Antiparos! I miss the ocean and the wonderful group of women I made friends with during our time together. If you're nervous or apprehensive about joining because you're a solo traveller (like I was), you're in for such a treat if you do go and I would recommend reaching out to Jes. She was super helpful with my questions and queries before I signed up. I would definitely join a retreat led by Jes again - in fact, I need to make this happen! Jes, thank you so much. I hope you know how grateful I am for you. I feel rebalanced, rejuvenated and re-inspired after my time with you all in Greece xxx

Jes was a wonderful leader and Okra Blue was such a stunning retreat venue. Every detail was well thought out and the food...oh my, don't even get me started. It was epic. What I loved about this retreat vs others is that Jes had activities planned out for almost every day which made the experience feel like an adventure. I also loved that our morning yoga and afternoon/evening workshops were all thoughtfully planned out to coincide with the astrological energy of each day. Who knew that one week could be so lifechanging? It was a trip that I will never forget. I can't wait to do it again! Thank you Jes!!!!!!

Jes and Ky were exceptional hosts on this healing retreat. Jes's meticulous attention to detail made everything run smoothly and ensured that we were all well taken care of. I can't wait to return for another unforgettable experience.

I had attended many of Jes' classes in Brooklyn over the years, but had no idea what to expect out of a retreat experience. Six months later, I can truly say the Divine Mirror was a major turning point in my life. Jes, Antionio & Ky opened the door to many different avenues of healing, understanding, connection, and joy. They have the unique ability of creating a space that allows you to delve into the unknown, yourself, your shadows, while also allowing room for play, laughter, and all of the loveliness and juiciness that Greece has to offer. I went into retreat knowing only Jes, and left having met individuals who have become some of my dearest friends. I could not recommend Jes, Ky and Antonio's offerings enough. Absolute bliss!

I've never been on a retreat before and I was a little concerned about being part of a structured group. But I had such an incredible time! Jes Allen made everything so seamless and fun! Her open and generous nature allowed everyone to instantly become friends and almost family. All in all I'm so grateful for the shared experiences I had with Jes and the lifelong friendships forged on her retreat!
By Sheneur M for The Divine Mirror on Sep 26, 2022
You are a star Shnay! You’re an incredible addition to any group. Thank you for trusting me and I look forward to our friendship unfolding forever as well!
