THE RETREAT INTENTION & PURPOSE:

This year we have ALL had to re-think work and living and do things differently.

Working remotely has become the norm

Why not WORK in a BEAUTIFUL space, with like-minded people, where your daily wellness needs are taken care of?

AND you don’t necessarily need to take it as holiday!

Our mission is to help you:

  • Enhance and transform your approach to daily health and work!

  • Provide YOU with a simple daily wellness structure

  • Provide you with a calm and relaxed space to work

  • Learn simple and effective daily tools that can refine your focus and efficiency at work as well as your support your daily wellness.

YOU choose how much or how little you participate!

Of course you don’t have to work…

You could just come to hang out, take advantage of a daily wellness rhythms, soak up October Greek island rays, bask in the waters and enjoy the calm and space!

What to know:

  • WIFI - there is effective wifi connection at the venue (the venue capacity is 20 people). There may be occasional times when the wifi wavers (storms can interfere with connection). Overall it has a high quality speed and efficiency.

  • There are NO printers at the venue.

  • You have space in your private room to work. NB: this is a retreat venue bedroom - it is not an office. There are quiet communal areas you can also use for work.

  • The daily rhythms (meals times etc) and rituals (practices) are designed in line with your bio- rhythms to support and enhance your focus and wellness.

Vegetarian food will mostly be served throughout the week at the venue (there are fish options on some of the nights). Eggs are served at breakfast most days.

Digestive supporting meals - to help you feel satiated and less distracted at work! Meals this week are FRESH cooked each day. They favor lightly cooked organic vegetables, grains, legumes etc over raw foods (salads) with the exception of fresh fruit. This will help strengthen the digestive health (“agni” in Ayurveda) and support a healthy digestive process and focus. You will likely notice the difference!

No alcohol - in general alcohol is not served at the venue. There is a cafe/bar about 20 mins walk up a track with beautiful views. The bar offers cocktails, wine and beer. It’s a good way to incentivise the heart pumping walk!

  • Coffee and tea ARE available throughout the week.
