“After the struggles and journey I've been on, I can't put in to words how grateful I am for having joined Self Discovery Lab on a retreat. Not only has my perspective shifted, but I connected with similar women in a beautiful location and will cherish those new connections forever. Thank you to Despina and the team. 🙏✨”

“A wonderful experience in a wonderful location . The facilitators were generous with their time and expertise, and I came away having learned so, so much - about myself, about how life can - and should - be. And Crete itself went way beyond my expectations, even though I've been there before. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I recommend this retreat to all women everywhere.”

“This self-discovery retreat in Crete was truly transformative, nourishing for both body and soul. The combination of sunrise yoga, inspiring self-discovery workshops, beautiful connections with inspiring women and time to explore the island created the perfect balance. I left feeling refreshed, grounded and deeply grateful to Despina and Natalie. Thank you! 🙏🙏

“Not only have I had one of the most life changing experiences but the connection made between myself and the beautiful souls attending this retreat is a gift I cherish.
The continued shift in my day to day life experience and how I think about that is invaluable.
I have had the opportunity to visit many retreats.
None compares to this.
Despina is an extremely soulful, intelligent, caring, joyful woman with a deep knowledge and understanding of women, nutrition and life in general.
Accompanied by our gorgeous yoga instructor Nathalie, they are the perfect duo.
It’s a journey you will never regret.
Namaste 🙏🙏 “

“My first retreat and I wasn’t disappointed. Accommodation was great, food was local and Crete was stunning (especially our sailing trip – highlight!). BUT in all honesty it was more than just a holiday. I have never spent time together with just women, and it was a magical experience. Supportive and nurturing with a lot of laughs. Would highly recommend SDL to anyone.”

“The self discovery lab was a wonderful experience, I’m so glad I went. The journey Despina used that brings you to connection and sight of yourself is truly a gift . I do find meditation difficult but by the end of the guided meditation I got my breath so deep ,I felt light .
Highly recommended this , for everyone living in this difficult society .
Very grateful for my experience today ♥️🙏🏽”

“It was nice to have a retreat that focused on self-care and self-development rather than just the yoga. Some really nice connections made with some amazing women. I would say lifelong connections. Thank you to Despina and thank you Self Discovery Lab for making it happen.”

“I went for the September Self Discovery retreat in Greece and it was amazing!
Our facilitator, Despina, created a safe space for the participants to share and interact.
Much knowledge around self-awareness and holistic well-being was gained.
All-in-all, the connections made and the whole experience was amazing. “
