In my quest to discover and experience magical places, I’ve spent the past seven years exploring twenty different Islands in Greece. 

Each island has its characteristics, vibes, and unique energy signatures, attracting certain lifestyles. 

Amorgos is transformative, healing, purifying, healthy, calming, powerful, peaceful, nourishing, stable, loving, and what I find to be organic, natural, and exceptionally beautiful. 

This retreat is designed for those looking to make positive shifts and changes within themselves through their Sadhana (Spiritual Practice)

This retreat is designed for those looking to contribute positively to a world that needs it. 

This retreat is for those on a path of consciousness, healing, self-reflection, and personal growth.

This retreat is designed for those interested in more grassroots, non-commercial locations, not luxury, but clean, comfortable lodging run by kind locals, family style, in stunning locations. 

I have curated what I believe will be a transformative practice journey, unlike any other retreat I’ve seen on offer at a great value in terms of overall experience and cost.

I greatly look forward to facilitating this heart-centered healing retreat. 

It was created from inspiration and clarity while facing eastward during the midnight full moon rise from deep within the Aegean Sea.
