Arriving in Corfu and meeting the fellow guests was a good way to start a lovely holiday. Along the way, we all bonded, so by the end of the week we felt like a family, especially when we shared morning meditations and beautiful breakfasts prepared for us with love and care by Margit, James's co-host. James immediately helped us all to feel comfortable and along with magical Margit taught us how to release our inner child and to remember how to play and to be silly again. I think we all learnt to let go of a lot and to feel free. For me, I learnt to relax and reset my brain, after a stressful year. Through James's breathing and meditation techniques I learnt to be calm again, which was magical. Through Margits Somatic Healing we listened to our bodies and healed our nervous systems (to be followed up on for sure) Margit and James are a "natural' at what they do here. Calm, kind, funny and just lovely. I had a beautiful week with them. We visited a couple of other places and walked amongst the many Olive Tree Forests that cover the Island. It was beautiful. Many, many thanks to you both. Sending love. Jacqui ❤️

Amazing! This was the first retreat I had been on, so wasn’t sure what to expect. I just knew when I saw the opportunity that I had to go. I wasn’t disappointed! From the moment we arrived at the Villa we had the warmest of welcomes and James and Margit were an amazing combination. James soothing with his meditations and gentle nature. Margit the perfect host for the most amazing breakfast and somatic therapy. I arrived tense, a little stressed with a mind brimming with all sorts from the everyday stress of life. I left feeling revitalised, uplifted and feeling a whole lot lighter, metaphorically speaking. Arillas makes the perfect setting with Nature all around. I can’t wait to return. Thank you 🙏

I travelled to Arillas with my adult son. We really enjoyed our time on the island and on the retreat. I enjoyed meeting like minded individuals and sharing our stories. The daily meditations, healthy breakfasts together, walks and somatic experiences created a space to explore my inner world In a gentle and heart felt way. I am grateful for the opportunity to take time out and to enjoy being present and wander thoughtfully in the magnificent olive groves. What an amazing place to do this kind of inner work. Much thanks to James and Margit for holding and creating this space and opportunity. There gentle caring way gave us all a moment to reflect and shine. To release and learn deep inner truths about ourselves.
