 Returning Home

a women's retreat in the magical peloponnese

Legend has it that in a little cocoon in the peloponnese, women gather for a few days each summer and that what happens in that gathering is nothing short of magical. 

They wake up each morning with the warm embrace of tea, they move to the rythm of their heartfelt desires, immersed in the healing power of nature, they share their deepest joys and fears, sing, and laugh until their belly hurts, they are nourished by the abundance of earth and they go deep into spiritual practice. 

 

Maybe this year its your turn.

Join us on a 4 days retreat in the enchanting lands of the Greek Peloponnese. Immerse yourself in practice, sisterhood, nourishment, ritual, restorative movement and healing devotional practices to support the feminine. 

Thoughtfully curated to bring forth a deep sense of tenderness, a homecoming.

TESTIMONIALS

 

"This journey is one of those that is hard to find words to describe but i will give it my best. I felt a calling to participate in this retreat hosted by Marisel without knowing anything about her. She is a creature, that in this incarnation, is what i would describe as the definition of the divine feminine. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for inviting us to join you in this sacred and safe space you created for us filled with unconditional love and respect towards all forms and shades of life. You are a true inspiration.
I can feel my heart bursting with emotions as i am trying to write down my thoughts and feelings of the experiences and precious moments we all shared together.
There was a magic web weaving all around us in every step of the way, from our morning yoga, to our tea ceremonies, when we spontaneously decided to go to a cave on a full moon and perform a cacao ceremony, to our meditation travels, around our community table and in every laughter, tear or emotion that rise up from within.
Thank you for everything you are, for inspiring me and for reminding me once again that we are all one, each and every one of you helped me in ways you cannot begin to imagine. It feels so liberating to be in the presence of people and especially women, that make you feel comfortable and celebrated for who you truly are."

"Returning Home found me at a time in my life when I returned to Greece after two years of living in conflict zones.

I cannot fathom the words to explain what a safe space meant for me. Marisel encouraged me to be brave; which meant to be tender. 

Her yoga practice, embodiment, breathwork, tea ceremony, singing and the sharing in the women's circle felt healing and deeply rooting.

It is not easy to hold such a space of ritual and ceremony with such respect and grace and it surprised me how much laughter and play we filled it with. 

I was hugged as a child, draw as a teenager, moved as a woman, shared as a mother, sang as a grandmother sipping cacao in a cave.   

My body became my home and I had returned. "
Mariana P.

"Marisel has a magical and pure energy, the power to inspire and create a loving community! As a retreat attendee I felt safe to flow into the moment, welcome and embrace my thoughts and feelings and enjoy moments through healing rituals. Thank you!"
