About this trip
This retreat is a love letter in motion...
It's the sacred journey back to yourself.
It's the power of leaving behind the familiarity of your ordinary life to uncover something extraordinary within you.
This retreat is the culmination of fourteen years of retreats around the world. It is the result of witnessing the power of men and women rediscovering themselves in a foreign land. The resounding response is "I feel more like myself than I have in a long time". This retreat is the joyful return back to who you truly are. It's an invitation to set aside tasks and take off masks- to simply BE with yourself. To fall in love with the life you have, and the one you are creating.
Imagine with me for a moment…
You wake up to the sound of the ocean waves outside your window. You greet the morning sun, pour yourself a tea, and take your time arriving to morning yoga, where you’re guided through an energizing practice, a grounding meditation and some simple time to share. Afterwards you enjoy a freshly prepared, traditional Greek brunch while you share stories with the new friends who you feel so close to in such a surprisingly short amount of time. You feel no rush, no urgency, no pressure to get anything done. Later, you swim in the crystal waters of the Aegean Sea and bask in the sun, breathing in the fresh air and feeling the sea breeze against your skin. You notice how clearly you can hear your own thoughts, how relaxed your body feels and how at peace you are. You recognize that this is YOU, the real you. Throughout the week you closely observe the messages of your body, the clarity of your mind and the guidance from within. You see that all along this deep wisdom existed within you. You feel more alive and excited about your life than ever before, and you can’t wait to return home to continue writing this love letter in motion.
