Renewed
Retreat Greece

Where there is love, there is joy

The heart is the seat of your innermost self, the place of love, compassion, joy and harmony. Your desire to experience, maintain and propagate this in your life and work through your words, actions and thoughts, serves as the starting point of this retreat. We open our heart by creating space in the body with yin yoga, a gentle form of yoga, after which the pranayama exercises with the breath calm the nervous system and increase the life energy, and the meditations still the mind and draw the attention inwards.

Place of culture and healing

We are further inspired by what is present in the area and the nature that surrounds us. We experience the healing power of the famous Greek sanctuary of Asclepius, the God of medicine. We will visit nature sites such as the healing spring of Asclepius and experience the silence and tranquility when we wander a mystical 2000-year-old pilgrim path, the Sacred Road, or when we ‘touch the sky’ according to the age-old saying on top of mount Moni Kalamiou.

Every day has its own theme and has a balanced rhythm of movement and rest in order to best reach the silence of your thoughts and the core of your heart. You will discover that everything is there to embrace new intentions and letting go of old patterns, to gain new inspiration and to tune into your own heart in daily life. 

Our accommodation

Our stay at hotel Magda is like a breath of fresh air. The natural environment, the sea and the Mediterranean climate, the light and the silence invite us to meditative exercises, creativity, peace, healing and sharing experiences. The complex consists of spacious studios each with private bathroom, kitchenette and large private balcony overlooking the sea and the surrounding mountains and the large garden filled with flowers and an orchard with orange, lemon and olive trees.

Retreat and coaching

We start the day with yoga, pranayama exercises and meditation by the sea, in the garden of our hotel under the olive and orange trees. Following a plentiful breakfast there is time for working on individual assignments or we set off for one of our walks. We will spend a large part of the mornings in silence.

In the afternoon, after lunch, there is time for rest and relaxation.

You will incorporate a variety of meditation assignments, consciousness exercises and exercises for spiritual development tailored to your personal growth. You can work on the assignments in the privacy of your own room or balcony, in the shade of the trees in the garden or on a sun bed by the sea.

In the afternoon the program continues with pranayama and meditation and sharing our experiences of the day. We will end the day with a delicious Greek dinner.

Due to the multifaceted combination of meditation, pranayama exercises, yoga, walking, silence, meditative and awareness assignments tailored to everyone’s personal growth and development, this Greece retreat is an inner experience for a ‘life changing’ journey.
