MY RETREAT

Embodying the wisdom of nature, this retreat invites you on a transformative journey of movement, breath, and deep listening. Rooted in the principles of body-oriented psychotherapy, mindfulness, and nature therapy, we will explore the profound connection between our physical being and emotional landscape.

Set in the wild beauty of Kea Island, this immersive experience blends somatic practices, yogic teachings, meditative movement, and allowing participants to shed old patterns, awaken the body’s natural wisdom, and return to a state of embodied freedom and balance. As we move through this journey, we immerse ourselves in nature through practices that bring us back in tune with our natural connection to the environment, as well as our emotional and physical rhythms.

Here, nature becomes our teacher and guide, showing us how to flow, release, and embrace life’s ever-changing dance. This is a somatic journey into the elements, where earth, water, fire, and air awaken our innermost essence.

Morning Offering:

Each morning, we will attune to the rhythms of the body and breath through mindful movement, yogic practices, embodied awareness exercises, and guided meditations that cultivate presence and vitality.

Evening Offering:

Evenings will be devoted to expressive movement, nature-based rituals, and somatic practices, creating space for emotional release, connection, and joy.

TEACHER’S NOTE

"The body is more than a vessel—it is our home, our guide, and our source of wisdom. Through movement, breath, yogic practices, and connection with nature, we open doors to transformation, release, and renewal. This retreat is an invitation to return to yourself, move with ease, and embrace life in its full depth and beauty."
