Our annual retreat is held in the village of Kyparissi on the East coast of the Peloponnese. There are many walking trails to explore, mountains to climb, beaches to lay on and bar / coffee shop terraces to sit and muse in. The environment and community provide a unique opportunity to combine experiential development and recuperation in a tranquil authentic Greek village. Eating delicious local cuisine - vegetarian or meat dishes, in local tavernas. The programme has been designed to enhance connectivity with your deeper self, with others and with nature whilst (re)balancing and ‘being’ present. This is not a silent retreat but using the tools of mindfulness, dramatherapy and connecting with the body, aims to provide an opportunity to cultivate a positive attitude, rejuvenate your health, enhance your happiness and warm your soul. All whilst spending time in this unique, rural Greek fishing village - a community who welcome us warmly. We will also provide plenty of opportunity to experience the elements through scenic walks surrounded by the mountains, swimming in the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean or just ‘being’ under the olive trees. At night you will be spellbound by the stars and glowing phosphorescence in the ocean and by day touched by the breath-taking scenery, sunrises and sunsets.
