Remember last

No, let's go

time you felt

truly present?

Not planning, not posting, not running through your mental to-do list. Just... here.
(If you can't remember, that's exactly why you're reading this)

But wait, it's not a typical wellness retreat with yoga and forced sharing cycles (no "describe your feelings as a color" exercises, I promise).
It's an invitation to step off the hamster wheel of modern life and step into a space where you can ditch all the noise by being active, authentic and doing what you feel like.

6-DAY ACTIVE OFFLINE RETREAT
May 12–17 | South Crete | 6 spots

Over six days, in a restored villa tucked away in South Crete's mountains, we’ll unplug from distractions, break free from expectations, and explore both breathtaking landscapes and the untapped paths within ourselves.

Together, we’ll hike, laugh, reflect, and create new perspectives. Not as students or teachers, but as equals on the same journey.

You will see, that our phone isn't the problem
(but airplane mode is a good start).
‍
And yes, you'll be offline for 6 days.
Don't panic, I'll guide you through it.
‍
After all, I went from checking my phone 200 times a day to being in 24-hour Do Not Disturb mode for over three years now.
‍
If I could do it, you've got this.

Though you might experience phantom vibrations in your pocket for the first 24 hours.

Each day brings new opportunities-all optional, all powerful:
‍
- Gentle morning movement (or peaceful pool time - your call)
- Coastal trails leading to views that make you forget about your inbox (and your password)
- Afternoon swims in crystal-clear waters
- Long dinners under the stars, where time seems to slow down

This isn't about forcing transformation. It's about creating space for it to happen naturally.
Some days you might choose to join every adventure. Others, you might spend reading by the pool. Both are perfect.

This is an invitation to disconnect to reconnect.
(And yes, I’ll share some life cheat codes along the way)

Because it's not a BS wellness, we are ditching this alcohol fog noise too. The only spirits here are the ones that appear when you actually get proper sleep.
We are on a MISSION

What Changes When You Give Yourself This Space?
EVERYTHING. You'll discover:

How it feels to make decisions without second-guessing yourself (turns out your gut knows things your overthinking brain doesn't and has been trying to tell you for years)
‍
What your body can do when it's not fighting yesterday's wine

What confidence feels like when it comes from within, not from external validation
‍The energy you have when you're not constantly switching between tasks and notifications
‍
What you actually want from this one wild life (and it's never too late to figure it out and make changes)

Plus a few longevity perks that just... happen when you ditch the noise (because turns out "stressed and scrolling" isn't in the Blue Zone handbook)

Your 6 Days. But we go with the flow, so do you.

01
Day 1: Wait, no Instagram?

• Afternoon arrival and villa welcome
• Local taverna dinner
• Sending your phone on vacation
(This is where you start remembering what life feels like without notifications)

02
Day 2: Finding Your Natural Rhythm

• Sunrise by the sea or sleeping in – without guilt
• Local breakfast that makes you question all previous breakfasts
• Stillness workshop: Finding focus in digital noise
• Beach or villa relaxation
• Dinner at our secret spot
(The day your body remembers what natural energy feels like)

03
Day 3: Higher Than Your To-Do List

• Epic coastal trail with swim stops in crystal-clear coves
• Lunch in Loutro-tiny paradise & my favorite place in Europe - you'll see why
• Wind-in-your-hair boat ride back
Seafood dinner by the water
(When your mind whispers "so this is what real rest feels like")

04
Day 4: From Scrolling to Strolling

• Morning movement
• Clarity workshops: Making space for what matters
• Dive into Chania's soul: farmer's market, ancient streets or simply a beach
• Either seafood in old town or hidden mountain taverna where everything's cooked on fire
(Seriously, what day is it?)

05
Day 5: Sorry Google Maps, Not Today

• Boat to Loutro for another coastal adventure (pinch yourself - yes, this is real)
• Hidden water caves at Marmara beach (trust me on this one)
• Special sunset spot that might change your life plans
(When island life starts feeling like your life - and maybe it should)

06
Day 6: I Oops, I Forgot My Phone

• One last sunrise together
• Space to share what's changed (if you want to)
 • Departure with clarity (and definitely some new habits)
(Oh right, our phones... almost forgot about them)

YOUR VILLA, YOUR RESET
‍
Picture yourself here:
‍
Lounging on a sunbed by the pool, book in hand, no notifications breaking your focus.
Morning coffee, surrounded by mountains instead of to-do lists.
Evening moments on the outdoor sofa, watching the sunset paint the mountains, feeling your breathing finally slow down.
‍
That relief when you realize nobody needs anything from you right now.

That clarity that comes when your mind finally has room to think.

Six days of what you've been craving without even knowing it.

Take Home

Because this isn't just about 6 days in Crete.
‍
It’s about this one live you have.
To make it awesome, on your terms.
‍
It's about ditching the noise and extending your life and health span.
take me to Crete!

Do you know how much time you spend scrolling per year?

It's about 2.5 hours daily. That's 912 hours per year. Almost 40 days of your life.
Every. Single. Year.
That's an entire month you could spend doing literally anything else.

But the real cost isn't just time

Close your eyes for a moment. Fast forward 20 years.
What if you're still in the same place, living the same patterns?
That feeling in your chest right now?
That's your future self trying to tell you something

It doesn't have to be this way

I know, because I've seen it happen through my travels. Time and time again. People breaking free from their patterns. Finding their truth. Building lives they don't need a vacation from.

and I've been there myself

living for external validation, making decisions just to earn love from beloved ones. Until I realized - I have one life, and the love I was trying to earn through achievements was already there. I just needed to change the story I was telling myself.
‍
That's why I created this space. Because I know the power of giving yourself permission to change.

You'll leave with:

• The quiet confidence that comes from truly knowing yourself
• Mental clarity that stays with you long after the retreat
• Practical ways to stay balanced when real life doesn't allow for Instagram-perfect 3h morning routines
• Energy that comes from alignment, not from pushing yourself out of limits (but hey, we'll still make things happen, just without burning out)
• Permission to live life on your own terms (and actually mean it this time)
• The first step toward eliminating the silent stressors that drain your energy, accelerate aging, and steal years from your life

Most importantly?

You'll remember who you are and what you want beneath all the noise.
And that changes everything.

What is an 'Active Offline Retreat'?

A complete digital detox with coastal hikes instead of yoga mats. Your body moves, your mind clears, and you discover what life feels like when you're not being pinged every 3 minutes.
‍The point isn't to demonize technology, but to break the attention-grabbing cycle that's keeping you from actually experiencing your life.
‍
At the villa, your phone stays in our special phone locker. For those "must capture" moments during our adventures, you can bring it along (SIM card out), but I'll challenge you to be fully present instead.
‍
‍For emergencies, there's always a way to be reached – but trust me, that "urgent" email can wait.
‍
And if you're not at least a little nervous about being without your phone for 6 days, you probably don't need this retreat.

I'm not a 'wellness retreat' person...

Perfect! Neither are we. No green smoothies, no mandatory meditation, no trees hugging. Just real adventures, great food, and conversations that actually matter. No wellness buzzwords in sight.

What if I need my phone/can't go 6 days without it?

We're not a military camp, and you're here for your own benefit, so nothing is forced.  If you really need your phone, we have clear guidelines - no phones in common areas or shared rooms (out of respect for other participants). You can take a private walk if you need to check in, but most people will find that after the first day, their "urgent" matters mysteriously solve themselves. Our goal is creating a fair, phone-free environment for everyone while acknowledging real life sometimes happens.

I haven't exercised in ages... will I manage?

Don't worry - first, the trails aren't demanding, and second, you decide how far you want to go. You can always opt to catch a boat for part of the journey and meet the group at the destination. Remember - we're here for transformation, not training camp. No one's going to yell "feel the burn!" – unless we're talking about forgetting sunscreen.

What should I pack for the retreat?

Comfortable clothes (leave the fancy stuff at home), swimwear, walking shoes that don't hurt, small backpack, a good book or three, journal (if that's your thing), and open mind.
What NOT to pack: laptops, iPads, tablets – your phone and a Kindle is the limit, alarm clocks, work stress, high heels and that voice in your head that says you should be doing more.

But seriously…no wine?

Yes, seriously. And trust me, the natural high of a clear mind, deep sleep, and authentic connection beats any wine buzz. You might be surprised by how much you don't miss it (as much as you might be surprised right now reading this). Plus, you'll remember all those sunset conversations, unlike most holiday dinner conversations...

Do I have to be 'on' all the time?

Absolutely not. Need alone time? Take it. Want to skip dinner and read by the pool? Perfect. "Sorry, I'm having an introvert moment" is a perfectly acceptable statement here.

What if I don't want to participate in some activities?

All activities are completely optional - they're suggestions, not requirements. You could literally spend all 6 days relaxing at the villa if that's what you need. The retreat is yours to shape. Your inner rebellious teenager can relax – no one's making you do anything.

How many people will be in the retreat?

Each retreat is limited to just 6 people. This small, intimate setting creates the perfect balance between meaningful connections and personal space. Big enough for interesting conversations, small enough that nobody gets lost.

How do I know I'll get along with the other participants?

My website and offerings are intentionally designed to attract like-minded people who value the same experience. I'm very deliberate about creating groups that naturally work well together - I want to spend time with awesome people too! (It's definitely not for everyone, and that's exactly the point.)

Is travel insurance required?

Yes, travel insurance is mandatory for all participants. Nobody plans to miss flights or lose luggage, but it's nice to be covered just in case life gets life-y.

Will I be able to maintain any changes after I return home?

We'll work on creating sustainable boundaries with technology, simple daily practices that don't require a 3-hour morning routine, and realistic ways to maintain your reset when back in "real life." Because let's be honest – life isn't a permanent retreat, but it can feel a whole lot better.

What payment options are available?

We accept major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.

What's your cancellation policy?

While deposits are non-refundable, you can transfer your spot to another person if your plans change. Like finding your doppelgänger who also needs a break from the noise – they'll thank you.

Is this retreat just for women? Any age limit?

This retreat is for women only, open to all ages ready for a reset - whether you're 30 and questioning your career path or 65 and seeking your next chapter.
