This retreat is about a conscious holiday for substantial deep rest, rejuvenation, release and reconnection, thanks to specific techniques. You can combine your daily sessions with holistic treatments, personal sessions and the activities of the island. Yoga Tao Tantra Temple wishes to offer the best environment for you to enjoy, revitalize, rest and learn in a unique and holistic way .
%Yoga Tao Tantra Temple invites you to explore the ancient traditions of Yoga, Taoism, Buddhism, Chi Qong and Chinese medicine, an incredibly wide range of techniques to work with and rise to your full potential. This is an opportunity to explore guided meditation, pranayama, asana, kriya, kundalini yoga, Yin yoga, chi gong, chakra balancing, sound healing baths and holistic treatments. Yoga means "union." It is the union of the separated self from his authentic nature - wholeness and oneness. It is the union between the female and the male energy. It is the union of polarities within, but also out there. It is the union between the spirit and the heart, between the "I" and the "we," the "me" and the "others." It is the communion with ourselfs and our surrounding , Mother Nature that leads us back to our core, our essence.
%By surrendering, experiencing and nourishing that truth, we become the intuitive and authentic version of ourselves . Our body is our home, our temple. How we treat it is a reflection of how we treat ourselves and others. It mirrors how we relate in general, as well as how we perceive and manifest love, respect, and trust. The essence of life is to be in a union - in love, healthy, and happy. There is a deep, absolute, and indestructible interconnection between us, as living beings (microcosm), and existence around us (macrocosm).
%This connection is usually lost or not enough nourished, so life, instead of being a celebration, becomes a conflict, a challenge, and an effort, and that state usually leads to an unhappy and unhealthy life. Only by restoring this connection we can reach peace.
%"Τao is the law of nature behind all of creation. Those who harmonize with it will be at peace with existence.” ''The way'' as it is called, Tao means the appropriate way to live your life in peace, in serenity, and in harmony with the life force of the universe. Surrender to life, life will teach you.

Ikaria has a small airport but it's not big enough to accommodate large charter flights, so to get there you should fly to Samos SMI or Mykonos JMK or Paros PAS or Naxos JNX and then fly to Ikaria JIK or take a ferry to Ikaria.
-Arrival by ferry
There are regular ferries to Ikaria from Piraeus (Athens port) with a journey time of about 8 hours. Or you can fly to nearby islands: Samos SMI, Mykonos JMK, Naxos JNX, Paros PAS, and then take the ferry connections to Ikaria. There are also high-speed flying dolphins from Samos to Ikaria, and these take 60-90 minutes. Make sure you know which port you want as there are three ports on Samos which connect with
two different ports on Ikaria.
Ferries in Greece has an excellent and very thorough website where, in addition to checking ferry schedules and times, you can also book tickets and get lots of useful information about travelling by ferry in Greece.
