Magical retreat
During this retreat you will stay on one of the most beautiful Greek islands. In the pleasant north of Corfu you are surrounded by silence, beautiful nature, wonderfully scented fruit trees, flowers and good company.
Spring 2024: May 18 to 25
In a few days you will learn to completely let go of your (unconscious) limiting programming. Then you will see from a new perception that you already have everything you need for a valuable and easier life.
And when you go home you know with great certainty what you have to do and you are ready to take that step.
Imagine . . .
You can relax in the garden, the soft afternoon sun on your skin and your whole body sways in deep grateful breathing. You enjoy the change in yourself. So much has changed in the past two days. In less than 48 hours in this retreat you will have simply dropped a heavy burden from the past and you will feel lighter.
After a long period full of hesitation and self-doubt, a party is going on inside. You feel reborn. And this is just the beginning!
Welcome to the magic of the Ionian Islands!
How would it feel if you . . .
- More clarity and confidence in yourself do you have to take the next step?
- Beliefs of others could you have thrown overboard?
- That feeling of eternal struggle and discouragement by your self-undermining thoughts, have you let go?
- Beyond the doubt, not only during this retreat, but also later when you are busy?
- No longer feeling restless or overwhelmed by constant pressure from the people around you?
And these are just some of the hidden possibilities that emerge during this retreat. After you have learned how to let go of old habits. And how, through meditation and daily self-hypnosis, you install what you do want in your unconscious system.
Within a few days you will notice that you…
- Faster and easier makes decisions.
- quieter responds to new situations.
- Much less resistance experiences because you let go of old limitations.
- From your inner wisdom dares to trust.
- Je are completely present in the here and now and responds from there.
- And dares to make decisions from your heart and your deepest knowledge.
Would that be enough to come with us?
Your home-away-from-home
Your home-away-from-home is a magical place, our 'own' private villa, surrounded by lush flowers, plants and olive trees. A dream place for a retreat like this. There is always a place where you can be alone for a while, do your assignments, meditate or doze off for a bit.
The villa is hidden outside the hustle and bustle of tourist Greece, near the mountain valleys where Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, once rode on horseback. Feel her closeness and be inspired by her sense of purpose, her love for nature, her desire for freedom and her independence.
The scents and colors in the garden around the villa are enchanting and this natural beauty brings peace. The clear blue Mediterranean Sea is a few minutes' walk away.
The retreat is from May 18 to 25, 2024.
Welcome to your Greek family
First of all, no room is the same, because you are staying in a unique family home and not in a tourist resort. Secondly, you share the bathroom and toilet with one or two fellow travelers, just like at home. Finally, there are lounge areas, inside and outside.
Breakfast and lunch are served as a buffet after the morning meditation and exercise. There is silence in the morning until after breakfast.
Even if you don't leave the house at all during the retreat, your days will be filled with enriching experiences that will bring a smile to your face, peace to your heart and inspiration to your soul.
A lot is possible
- We are a group of independent participants, each undergoing their own development. There is room for every individual and there is no obligation to share all your experiences in the group.
- We start the day with meditation and exercise. It's about what feels good for you and your body.
- After breakfast we do a Your Inner Power workshop.
- In the morning there is a breakfast buffet, from which you can also make your packed lunch.
- You can choose from 14.00 p.m. There is plenty to do and doing nothing at all is also appreciated. Take the time for yourself.
- In the evening you are free to find or make your own meal, alone or with your housemates. Greek cuisine is delicious and diverse, but you can also prepare or get something yourself.
The Ionian cuisine
Just about everyone has tried to grab the Ionian Islands, because it is a wonderful place to be. But perhaps the divine presence of Artemis ultimately ensured that Corfu and the 6 other islands are now independent. The influence of all those visitors can still be heard in the music and tasted in the very varied cuisine.
The Greeks are known to be fish and meat eaters. But the mountains are littered with sun-ripened tomatoes, aubergines, olives, spinach, the sweetest onions and the tastiest cucumbers, which of course also end up in the tzatziki (yogurt sauce).
We have Marina in the kitchen, who literally received her cooking skills from her Greek mother. Of course we also keep evenings free to eat in the neighborhood in taverns, restaurants or the smaller souvlaki tents, where they sometimes also have tasty vegan snacks.
