Becoming the Practice

Pelion - Greece
13 - 20 May 2027

Something is coming

- walk with me

Situated on Mount Pelion mainland Greece, between the mountains and the sea, a retreat experience awaits you. A space for the mind to empty, the heart to soften and a deeper wisdom within us to emerge.

Pelion is an ancient region of Greece, steeped in mythology and a slow pace of traditional village life.

Think stone villages, winding cobbled pathways, olive groves, mountain springs and sweeping views across the Pagasetic Gulf.

Life here remains deeply connected to the land and the simple rhythms of daily life. Immersed in the authenticity of rural Pelion, we are invited into a slower way of being.

There is nothing to achieve here. There is no pace to keep. The days unfold slowly shaped by practice and an emerging sense of presence.

Home

The charming village of Agios Georgios Nileia

Our home is a collection of five traditional stone-built villas overlooking the wildly expansive sea. Our practice each day begins with a sensorial five-minute walk along a winding pastoral path to a fully equipped and enclosed wooden-decked yoga shala.

Practice

Beneath the activity of the mind lies a field of stillness.

Our days are centred around the rhythm of' Rounding'. A Round consists of yoga asana, breath work, meditation and deep rest. Repeated Rounds give the nervous system a rare opportunity to unwind and release deep layers of stress from the system resulting in an ever increasing inner silence.

The effort of managing ourselves begins to soften and there is more space to simply Be.

With each passing day, there is less to hold together, less burden of the past and less pull towards the future.

Awaken

We return to the naturalness of who we are

As inner silence becomes more established, something begins to shift in the way we experience ourselves and the world around us.

The layers of stress that obscure our natural state begin to soften and we become more established in what is beneath it all, greater naturalness. Clearer seeing, deeper presence and a growing recognition of the wholeness of who we are.

Who is this retreat for

This retreat is for anyone who feels called toward a deepening connection, support, release and profound.

The retreat is open to those who practise Vedic or Transcendental Meditation, as well as those who are completely new to meditation and feel drawn to learn and to join us on this experience.

A special Vedic Meditation Retreat price is available for those who do not have a practice. You will receive your mantra and learn the technique prior to arriving with a foundation to receive the full experience of what is being offered. Please reach out to discuss further.

No previous meditation experience is required, only a willingness and readiness to shed some layers.
