Introduction

Escape to our Blissful Balance Retreat on the breathtaking island of Amorgos, Greece, where tranquility meets transformation. This immersive retreat combines daily yoga, meditation, and holistic workshops designed to help you restore balance and reconnect with your true self. Explore the island’s stunning beauty by experiencing an exclusive yacht trip to secluded coves only accessible by boat. Nourish your body with delicious plant-based meals and dive into healing rituals that promote deep relaxation and inner peace.

Program

Each day retreat offers a balanced blend of yoga, self-reflection, and learning. We’ll begin with either a morning sunrise yoga practice or end with a calming yin/restorative sunset practice in the evening. After morning yoga, we’ll gather for a communal breakfast, where we may enjoy nourishing meals and meaningful conversations. The rest of the day is yours to explore the natural beauty of Amorgos—everything is within walking distance, from the town center to the beach. On alternate afternoons, we’ll come together for a trauma-informed workshop designed to deepen your connection with yourself, empower you to set meaningful intentions, and provide you with tools to manifest the life you desire. We will end our days with a group dinner where we will reflect on our day and connect further with our new friends in healing. Below you will find an example schedule of our retreat agenda.
