About ExaRetreats Cyclades
ExaRetreats Cyclades
Mission & Vision
Our RETREAT is intimate and personal. It is more than a spa or seaside vacation. It is a SOUL SANCTUARY where we engage the body, mind, and heart to bring holistic wellness.
ExaRetreats Cyclades exists to bring balance, well-being, and connection in a disconnected, frantic world. By unleashing each individual’s creativity through the healing power of nature and the expressive arts, ExaRetreats Cyclades works to recover each person’s authentic self and reconnect to his or her life’s purpose. We work to bring healing, deepen intra- and inter-personal understanding, and the joy of creation and play to promote healthy living.
Combine a beach vacation to a bucket list destination with the power of expressive arts to connect, create, and rejuvenate mind, body and soul.
