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.
For me, Amorgos is conducive to energies that are transformative, healing, purifying, healthy, calming, empowering, 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.
It’s clean, comfortable lodging run by kind locals, family-style, in a stunning location.
This will be my fourth retreat offering in Amorgos and my third at this location.
I look forward to a beautiful retreat with you.
