Retreat Itinerary
Day 2, 3, 4 & 6 - Awakening self: the practice
Yoga: start each morning with a yoga session near the sea … and maybe even a quick dip before breakfast.
Breakfast is served.
Self-discovery workshop: the theme of our retreats this year is all about finding your joy and aliveness again. Through daily somatic practices, grounding yoga sessions, and workshops on self-awareness, you’ll gently peel away the layers of tension, stories and distraction that have kept you disconnected.
Free time: whether you would like to discover the island with your tribe or on your own, or simply relax with the best that Kissamos has to offer.
Dinner is served at our beautiful villa.
Philosophy Circle: After dinner, on some nights, we hold our ‘talked about’ philosophy circle - discussions around thought provoking themes.
Day 5 - An unforgettable sailing trip
Today we spend the day on a beautiful private sailing boat to Gramvousa and Balos Bay. This trip gives us an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful Mediterranean waters while appreciating life and our new friendships. We experience the benefits of exposing ourselves to awe inspiring scenery as we swim in private locations. Lunch is included.
This evening we taste the flavours of Greece in a local taverna … and maybe some Greek dancing!
Day 7 - The new beginning
Self-discovery session - bringing it all together with intention. Today we sit together for the last time and connect with our learnings and our new friendships, and we remind ourselves that this is only the beginning. Breakfast is served … See you all on social media, or maybe back on this island next year…
