Returning Home
a yoga & sisterhood retreat in the magical land of the peloponnese
A few months back I started teaching a series of workshops called 'Returning Home' in which we explored tools and practices meant to regulate the nervous system and to reclaim the self back from the hectic and often unsustainable rythm of modern life. I dreamt often of a thoughtful space, a cocoon in which we would be able to explore these practices and integrate them through slowness, rest, deep grounding, embodied exploration and contemplative pause. And thus the vision for this retreat was born.
Join us on a 4 days retreat in the enchanting lands of the Greek Peloponnese. Immerse yourself in sisterhood, nourishment, ritual, restorative movement and healing practices to support the feminine, thoughtfully created to bring forth a deep sense of tenderness, a homecoming.
Swimming in the ocean, playing around the olive trees, reading in the hammocks, sunbathing, surfing, breathing, moving, reflecting, pausing, be-ing.
Our days will be mainly planned around rest and cocooning, and our practices will include gentle flows and restorative yoga, embodiment, meditation, breathwork, tea ceremony and creative self-expression.
