In my quest to discover and experience magical places, I’ve spent the past eight years exploring twenty different islands in Greece. Each island has its own character, vibe, and unique energetic signature, naturally attracting certain ways of living. For me, Amorgos embodies a deeply transformative energy—healing and purifying, healthy and calming, empowering yet peaceful. It feels nourishing, stable, and loving, profoundly organic and natural, and exceptionally beautiful.
This retreat is designed for those looking to make positive shifts and changes within themselves through their practice. This retreat is designed for those looking to contribute positively to a world that needs it more than ever.. 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. It’s clean, comfortable lodging run by kind locals, family-style, in a stunning location. This will be my fifth retreat offering in Amorgos and my fourth at this location.
I look forward to sharing a beautiful retreat with you.
