YOUR HOSTS

Sophie, that's me! Self proclaimed visual magician, recovering people pleaser and champion of reclaiming our wild creativity!
I have been a creative since birth (as have you) and a colonised creative since my experiences at higher education, followed by working in the corporate world.
As part of my healing journey to understand how my story unfolded, I have studied a selection of spiritual arts, lived in South Asia and dedicated myself to giving back projects… all of those beautiful experiences influence what I offer to you during this nourishing week. It is the retreat I have looked for but never found; a collection of offerings and opportunities, as part of a community, in a location that allows us to ebb and flow, both individually and as a group.

WHERE ARE WE STAYING?

Our main communal space is on the land of Panagis and Brigitte, a Greek Austrian couple who I have known since 2022. I have fallen in love with the energy that they have created; all of the surrounding land and the herds of goats who live here have been in Panagis's family for generations. They still honour the old ways, farming goats, fishing and making olive oil and yet find ways to bring us into 2024; Brigitte's art and flair for cooking finds ways to bridge the gap.

OUR COMMUNAL SPACE

We have a beautiful outside terrace as our main gathering space, some of which is covered. It includes tables, loungers, seating, umbrellas and an outdoor shower. There's a kitchen here too for easy access to drinks and snacks throughout the day (as well as a kitchen in each accommodation).
There will be other places where we congregate; the beach and an inside venue too… but this is the magical spot with the incredible view that warms my heart.
