I enjoyed the yoga retreat and especially the Aegali Resort. Nice group of people! The yoga was great. 

Greek Grace Retreat with Lulu Soni & Yia Mas

We had the best time on our yoga retreat trip to the beautiful island of Amorgos! The trip was organized beautifully to make for an incredible experience and our yoga leaders, Lulu and Kristina, were the best! 

Had the best time with the best people!  Everything was organized so wonderfully and even allowed for down time.  Would highly recommend Yia Mas. Can’t wait for the next trip! 

Epirus Apokries experience

This experience, as with the other trips I’ve been on with Kristina, was nothing short of amazing. She thoughtfully curated an experience that was authentic, immersive and fun. Highly recommended if you’re looking for something uniquely Greek. 

This trip was amazing! Kristina and Lulu were such gracious, kind, and welcoming hosts. Everyone on this trip was an exceptional human and I’m so glad to have experienced this!

This is a journey of remembrance to honor the women who came before us.&nbsp;This women's retreat is designed to help you connect intentionally and respectfully with the land and with Greek/Balkan traditions. We'll learn about the wisdom they kept so that we can become stewards for future generations. We will connect with the past by weaving our personal threads into it, exploring ancestral traditions with intention.

While this word is often used to refer to material inheritance, we will consider that we, too, have inherited entire ways of being from our ancestors. And yet, we live in 2026, during the ascent of AI and a time when technology moves faster than ever. As such, many of us feel disconnected from our ancestors and the land itself. This retreat will be a container for connecting slowly with tactile, human experiences.Through craft, mindful discussion, time in nature, connection with sacred sites, and more, we'll work to integrate our inheritances. We will even discuss the less-than-sunny sides of it all in a non-judgmental environment.Many of our women ancestors lived under difficult circumstances - we have an opportunity to connect with what they held and passed along in a freer way, which they weren’t able to do due to social roles and standards. Let's celebrate the gift of what came before and build a world where we can mindfully carry traditions forward into a more equitable, kind world.Note that you absolutely do not have to be a woman of Greek descent to join and embrace this retreat: this is for anyone called to reconnect with the 7 generations (and beyond) that we carry in our bodies. However, the subject matter will be Mediterranean and Balkan traditions, and will likely appeal more to those who are already interested in Greek/Balkan/Southern Italian/Cypriot/Anatolian culture and/or who descend from these places.

Join us for a dreamy Greek getaway on the Cycladic island of Amorgos. This retreat will combine yoga, meditation, dance, and other wellness practices with a taste of authentic Greek culture. We'll also hike to a famous monastery overlooking the sea, swim, lounge by our pool, explore white-washed villages, and of course - eat delicious fresh Greek food.&nbsp;
 
Amorgos is a gem in the Aegean - unspoiled by the level of tourism on many nearby Greek islands, it retains old-school Greek hospitality. The nature and views are striking, the water is pristine and oh-so blue, and, in general, it has a very sweet energy that keeps people coming back year after year. This retreat is intended to give you what you need - we hope it leaves you feeling more joyful, inspired, and rejuvenated.&nbsp;

We’re so excited to team up with Aristoula Toli and Stacie Peroulas for a trip to Skyros for their incredible Apokries (Carnival) traditions. This trip is designed to help you experience and understand the spirit of these ancient traditions and celebrations. Skyros is a special island, and its Apokries is one of the best-known in Greece.&nbsp;
 
We’ve planned a trip to make it easy (and fun, of course) for an intimate crew to celebrate these traditions together. Skyros books up for this months in advance; luckily for y’all, we reserved a block of rooms :)&nbsp;
 
Apokries is a special time in Greece right before the beginning of Lent. We hope you'll join us for the incredibly unique, authentic experience!
