You're Invited to The Aegean Blue Experience: a 6 day retreat in Greece

Jan 26, 2025

 

This is your invitation  to my 2nd  retreat: and I'm doing my happy dance as I write these words. I can't believe, I've finally made my dream come true!

You know, my dream isn't the retreat alone, my dream has always been to  Share my Love and Passion, for my Holistic Practices and my Island with YOU! I've been planning this retreat in my head ever since I took my first Thai massage lesson 25 years ago! And now my 2nd retreat in 5 months is coming true!

Welcome to:

The Aegean Blue Experience: Simplify; Amplify; Thrive

Picture this: You wake up to the sound of gentle waves, imagine yourself walking barefoot on pristine isolated beaches, swimming in the endless blue, and gazing at the stars in skies untouched by modern chaos. This is your sanctuary. It's been my sanctuary since I spent my first summer here in 1987,  and I want to share it with you, every beach, every hill, the history, the mythology, local life, I want to share it all.

 

Now imagine leaving this 6 day experience not just having had a great time, feeling  recharged and rejuvenated.

But also, having learnt  simple, 1minute resets. Empowering tools- practices rooted in the ancient wisdom of Taoism & Traditional Chinese Medicine. 1minute resets that seamlessly fit into your life, helping you UNBURDEN and RELEASE daily stressors, helping you  feel more energized , focused, and joyful. Every single day, from now on.

Forget "retreating." This isn't a "getaway" from your real life. The Aegean Blue Experience is  about coming home—to yourself, your inner joy and learning how to keep living like this even when we go back home.

 This is an Experience is Like No Other. I'm welcoming you to my ancestral 'home'.  Because location matters, but soul, passion and connection matters even more. Serifos is  A Place with Soul; its  soil  rich in energy, mined since ancient times for semi precious stones and metals.

Rich in  history & mythology: it's the island of Cyclops where Ulysses escaped the one eyed giant to go on with his adventures till he arrived in his home of Ithaca.

Lastly, Serifos, is in the Cycladic complex in Greece- you've probably heard of Paros, Mykonos, Santorini-you've seen their unparalleled beauty- now you'll meet their baby sister.

Here's what I have planned for you!

Somatic Movement & Breathwork with me- gentle  beginner-friendly practices that release tension, stress, overwhelm and help you reconnect with your mind, body and  spirit. QiGong, Acupressure, The 6 Healing Sounds Breathwork. All this barefoot on sandy beaches , the gentle sound of the waves as our soundtrack. Morning & Evening classes.

Kundalini Yoga with Antria- our special guest Antria will take you through a Kundalini yoga session/ beginner friendly or as advanced as the group allows; gently move, chant and meditate, becoming one with the elements that surround you.

Sound Healing with Nikolaos-
Let the vibrations of sound baths cradle you, soothing your nervous system; a truly profound experience. One session.

Walks/Hikes in Nature- Feel the earth beneath your feet and the sea breeze in your hair as you explore the island, untouched by crowds and chaos. Daily exploration with me from around 11:30-2:30pm

Immersion in Local Life
Enjoy homegrown meals, meet the locals, and connect to the rich mythology and history of this magical island.

Time to be still : The Aegean Blue Experience is about enjoying the silence, standing still, taking in mother earth's energy. We'll be doing that when we explore the island, swimming, grounding, breathing on the beaches and hilltops. However, this is optional, if you prefer to simply attend the classes/workshops and then be alone, at the villa, on the beach, or discovering a new hiking path,THAT IS COMPLETELY FINE. There is NO PRESSURE, the exact opposite. Joy, Freedom, Connection is what I want to gift you.

 2:30-5:30 is daily is Free time, where you can enjoy a light lunch and a glass of wine, take a nap, go to the beach, whatever you choose.

 

 

I believe that small actions build momentum, and momentum creates change. Your small actions will create BIG shifts; you’ll learn how one minute is enough to start your transformation. You'll leave with my roadmap of simple, consistent practices, that will sustain your new found calm long after we say goodbye.

The Aegean Blue Experience is your invitation to:

Simplify your practice and Amplify your results.

Remember: You’ve got this, and I’ve got you.
