GREEK ISLAND - The Freedom & Empowerment Retreat

For Women

A Yoga and Mindful Fitness Immersion for Women Ready to Rise.

With Urban Avatars Diahann Holder and me!

14-21 August 2021

I’m so excited and honoured to be asked to guest at this retreat by the wonderful Di. It is our pleasure to welcome you to Ithaca - an exquisitely beautiful, mythical Greek island in the crystal Ionian Sea for 7 days of inspiration, transformation and deep rejuvenation.

A retreat specially for women ready to step into their strong, majestic truth.

During this time you will explore the depths of your inner freedom and the strength, power and courage to be YOU in all your glory. An opportunity to get clear on visions and dreams that are truly calling your soul and through the practices we share, will experience what a deeply embodied sense of self-worth, purpose and “soul fire” can feel like for you!

And all of this set within a cosy, luxurious and inspirational home and landscape, that will enable you to deepen into the wonderment of You.

There’s never been a better time than now to harness all that you are and RADIATE.
To deeply honour your sacred feminine and share with the world what it means to be a truly empowered woman, living her authentic truth. We really believe it is the biggest gift we can offer to ourselves and the planet.

Our intention for this time together, is to create an nourishing, awakening, and empowering experience for you.
And equally, a restful and deeply restorative space to drop out of the to do lists and deeply into
the ‘you-ness’. And to support you in this journey I will be sharing mindful fitness practices and pilates for the female body. Movement designed to awaken and fire up your inner warrior goddess.

This will be artfully balanced with ‘yin Well Woman yoga’ practices and sacred rituals that will invoke a deep connectedness to your feminine cycles and power.
Together we’ll create your own personal tool kit of practices to take away with you.

We will take residence upon the enchanting Greek, Ionian Island of Ithaca - whose exquisite shores plays host to a long mythical history and whose many mysteries are sensed amongst animated panorama and secretive coves.

Our stunning, characterful ‘home from home’ overlooks the crystal, azure sea (a 3 minute walk away) and the eastern coastline of neighbouring Kefalonia from an elevated wilderness of olive trees and exposed rocks. An emphasis on indoor-outdoor living ensures full use of the land and its treasures that extend to the sweeping and hidden beaches below.

Bright, airy and chic with plenty of space to relax, our beautiful home offers exquisite luxury bedrooms and gorgeous Mongolian yurts staggered up between rocks, forestry and winding walkways.

The many social and quiet spaces, each with spectacular views allow you to enjoy the landscape and relax. And to top that off, we are a few minutes walk from 3 beautiful beaches to enjoy at your leisure.
