Halcyon Days: Greek Islands Retreat


My retreat to Greece in 2018 was one of the most magical and divine experiences I’ve had in my years of travel. Ever since I’ve been eager to return. This time we’ll journey to the island of Karpathos, a hidden gem in the Aegean sea. Join me for a week of restoration and connection, nourishing cuisine, authentic Greek culture, charming villages, beautiful vistas and the world’s most breathtaking beaches.

  • Karpathos is the second largest of the Greek Dodecanes Islands, nearby to Rhodes and Crete. Remaining relatively unspoilt from tourism, the island is an enchanting mix of authentic Greek culture, history and breathtaking landscapes. Dotted with charming towns, ancient religious sites and some of the world’s most beautiful beaches Karpathos is a hidden gem in the Aegean Sea.

  • Our home for the week is a private retreat center located on the west coast of Karpathos, in a quiet and beautiful area of the island, approximately 25 minutes’ drive from the airport. Overlooking the sea with breathtaking views, the venue has a serene and tranquil energy, the perfect setting for restoring and reviving your spirit. You’ll fall asleep to the soft ocean breeze and the sound of waves and wake to the glittering vistas of the mountains and the sea. Within walking distance are several places to swim and hike. The property also has a pool and on site massage. All guest rooms are comfortable, bright and airy, with en suite bathrooms, A/C and ocean views.

  • Yoga will take place in a beautiful open air space over-looking the sea. The studio is fully stocked with mats and props. Morning practice will be slow-flow, strong and deep, intuitive and intelligent. Evening classes will be focused on soothing the nervous system with restorative yoga and guided deep relaxation. Each day will offer journaling prompts with time for discussion. You can read more about my teaching style here.

  • Within walking distance from our retreat center are several options for swimming in the sea and hiking.

    Included in the retreat are two excursions:

    • a day trip to the absolutely stunning Lefkos beach, lunch at a seaside taverna included
