Retreat to the Cycladic Islands
June 29 - July 5, 2026
ANTIPAROS, GREECE
Seven days soaking in healing Cycladic waters surrounded by a landscape that provides the perfect backdrop for self-discovery and connection.
Time slows, creativity flourishes, and body and mind are offered a complete reset here — this retreat is an invitation to rest, play and steep in the abundant nature of summer.
Join us on the magic and serene island of Antiparos this June - July.
We will stay in restored Cycladic homes sitting high on a hill overlooking the Bay of Agios Georgios and the ancient Sanctuary of Apollo of Despotiko– serving as a daily reminder of the connection between humanity and divinity.
Days will be spent exploring beaches, lingering at seaside tavernas, traversing the quiet winding roads to town – with plenty of downtime and the island as your playground.
Twice daily movement + meditation practice will take place in our shaded outdoor shala, with mornings opening to expansive Aegean views and evenings bathed in soft golden light – where we come together to begin and end our days as a group.
Expect nourishing local cuisine and to forge lifelong connections while sitting around the table. We’ll offer several curated experiences throughout the week such as a boat day and night out in town.
1. FLY 40min ATH to Paros (PAS). 10 min drive (taxi, bus, pre-arranged rental car) to the ferry port (Pounta). Ferry from Paros to Antiparos approx.10mins and operates frequently.
