Mission & Vision
Why my retreat organization exists
My retreats exist to help people reconnect to themselves and to each other. They are a space where movement becomes medicine, nature becomes therapy, and the senses wake up again. What you see, hear, feel, and experience during these days becomes a true reset for the soul.
These retreats blend mindful movement with meaningful human connection. We sit in circles, share stories, talk about challenges, and witness each other’s breakthroughs. The community element is just as healing as the movement and meditation.
Every detail is created with care. Beautiful accommodations, curated meals, breathtaking beaches, and views that naturally soften the body and calm the mind. Thoughtful workshops help you reconnect to yourself. Select evenings include sound bath

Directions
Where is Zakynthos?
Zakynthos sits in the Ionian Sea off Greece’s west coast, near the Peloponnese (Ilia/Elis). It is not on the Aegean/Turkey side
Best ways to arrive
Option A: Fly
From Canada or the U.S.: fly into ATH, then take a short domestic flight to ZTH (about 55–60 minutes). Carriers include AEGEAN/Olympic and SKY express. Check current schedules.
From within Europe: in summer, many cities offer seasonal direct flights to ZTH, so you may be able to fly straight to the island. Otherwise, route via ATH.
Airport codes
Athens: ATH (Athens International Airport) — Greece’s main international gateway.
Zakynthos: ZTH (Zakynthos “Dionysios Solomos” Airport) — located on the island.
Option B: Bus + Ferry (scenic alternative)
Athens to Kyllini port: intercity KTEL coaches run services toward Kyllini on the western Peloponnese. The Bus ride is about 3 hours
Kyllini to Zakynthos: the Levante Ferries crossing typically takes about 1 hour 15 minutes with several daily sailings in high season.
Transfers on the island
From ZTH airport or the Zakynthos port, you will need a taxi or pre-arranged transfer to reach the resort. If several guests land at similar times, we can arrange a private shuttle. This may carry an additional cost.
