Our adventure begins with 2 nights in Athens at a 4-star hotel in the trendy Plaka neighborhood with incredible rooftop views of the Acropolis. The perfect place to unwind after a long flight with a cocktail or fresh juice. We’ve included a private guided tour of the Acropolis and a group dinner at a fun local restaurant.
From historic Athens, you’ll journey to the serenity of the island of Paros, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the Aegean Sea and one of the lesser known of the Cycladic Islands. This is the perfect backdrop for your week of adventure and self-discovery.
Our retreat offers a harmonious blend of invigorating + gentle yoga, guided meditations, mini-reiki sessions during yoga, evening sound baths, and a creativity workshop. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or new to the practice, our tailored classes cater to all levels, providing an opportunity to deepen your practice and enhance your well-being.
But that’s not all – we’re all about embracing adventure, creating joyful experiences, and exploring the places we visit! We’ll spend a day aboard our private chartered boat, exploring the crystal-clear turquoise waters around Paros + Antiparos where you can dip in and out of the Aegean Sea and enjoy a sublime lunch prepared by the crew. We’ll also take a day trip to Mykonos where you’ll have the afternoon to explore the seaport and grab lunch, or check out one of its famous beach clubs.
Our retreat is designed to foster meaningful connections. Share laughter, stories, and delicious meals with fellow travelers as you create lifelong friendships, strengthen existing relationships, and find your people. Engage in soulful conversations, partake in heart-opening classes, and experience the true essence of community.
Indulge your senses with the delicious and nourishing locally-sourced vegetarian cuisine, and slumber in eco-chic rooms designed in harmony with the surrounding environment. Our retreat center is situated on a relatively untouched shoreline where the rawness of the land lends itself to self-reflection and unplugging.
Come experience the magic of Greece through the beautiful settings of Athens + Paros. Rediscover yourself, rekindle connections, and embrace peace and joy. This is your opportunity to embark on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery and create memories that will last a lifetime.
