Highlights
This retreat is very unique from all other retreats! There is no strict agenda for you to follow; you can take time to rest and relax! Your time is your own, to feel your own rhythm. At the same time, every participant will feel supported, comfortable, well fed and totally looked after. The focus here is on mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing. The retreat will draw from Traditional Chinese medicine, at the beginning of the retreat you will have an in-depth assessment with Josephine who will also do your acupuncture sessions. These sessions will be tailored specifically to you and issues you wish to tackle (2 sessions during the retreat). You will also have a session of Thai yoga massage.
Apart from this you will experience sunrise Qi gong sessions by the sea with Kate, after-dinner meditation and gentle and calm yoga classes. Every day there will be a talk about a different season (there are 5 seasons in Traditional Chinese medicine).
You will have an opportunity to get out and explore the local area with a coastal hike, trip to Roman amphitheater, and lunch at a Greek taverna right on the beach. One evening you will dine in the nearby town on the waterfront.
Please note that this will be a quiet retreat and use of electronic devides will be discounraged.
