Becoming the Practice

Pelion - Greece
13 - 20 May 2027

Something is coming ~ walk with me

Between the mountains and the sea, something beautiful has taken shape.

Situated on Mount Pelion mainland Greece, a retreat experience has been carefully curated as a space for the mind to settle, the heart to soften and something deeper wisdom within us to emerge.

Pelion is an ancient region of Greece, steeped in mythology and a slow rhythm 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, the seasons and the simple rhythms of 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

Our home is in the charming little village of Agios Georgios Nileia in 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 Shala.

Practice

Yogic teachings say that beneath the activity of the mind there is a field of stillness, awareness and wholeness. Through the daily practice of yoga postures, breathwork, meditation, deep rest and Vedic philosophy, we return to this deeper aspect of ourselves. Layers of accumulated stress dissolve, perception becomes sharper, we soften and gain greater access to our natural state of inner balance and ease.

Awaken

Surrounded by nature, life the begins to move at a different pace, creating the conditions for something deeper within us to emerge. An invitation to step away from the noise for a while and remember that quiet place within that sits waiting for your return.

Who Is This Retreat For

This retreat is for anyone looking to deepen their practice of yoga and meditation. It will meet you where you are. Practices are always thoughtfully adapted to support everyone's individual experience.

If you are travelling on your own, you will be warmly welcomed into a friendly and supportive retreat family. Many people come to my retreats solo and leave with long lasting friendship.

Above all, this pilgrimage is for anyone longing to slow down, reconnect with themselves and experience the simplicity of life and the quiet wisdom that emerges when we are given the space to breathe.
