This retreat can be your personal retreat in the sunny weathers of the island of Crete. Greek people are known for their exceptional hospitality, which adds to your ability to enjoy, relax and to deepen your own spiritual practice.
In the morning at 7 am Helen will lead 1-hour Yoga session incorporating principles of the Feldenkrais and Pilates movement principles. Afterwards, those who want, can go to the beach, which is only a 2 minutes’ walk away from the yoga room. Swimming at this time of the day is peaceful, as the beach is so quiet and as the sun comes up over the mountains the water is almost still, it is an amazing experience.
On the southern side of Crete there can be strong winds, and an early swim is recommended as later during the day winds can change the sea water and more waves appear.
For the remainder of the day, you’re free to spend your time as you wish. The group is small, and you’re encouraged to spend as much or as little time with others as you prefer, based on your comfort and needs. Often breakfast is shared together on the beach cafe and in the evening the group might meet up for an early evening meal at 7pm. There is no entertainment in Kalamaki.
Helen will also be available for mindfulness sessions, spiritual mentoring, or informal spiritual discussions regarding your personal or working life. If you wish, these may take place in a relaxed atmosphere walking along the beautiful Kalamaki beach.
