The Goddess Retreat
June 11-18
2022
Invoke your inner Goddess
​
Step out of the ordinary.
Go with the flow to return to a sense of unbounded joy and freedom.
​
Join Alesha for a 7 night 8 day journey of remembrance.
When you step out of your daily routine, and step onto the deck of a sailboat,
feel the wind in your hair, the sun on your skin and take a deep breath & soak it in.
We gather in a sisterhood of goddesses:
to explore the alchemy of ancient wisdom and weave it into our modern lives,
to nourish our souls with yoga, contemplation, and journaling
to open our hearts in ceremony (cacao, moon...)
to surrender to the spaciousness
and to transform.
​
Immerse yourself in the Elements
​
This journey will take place throughout the Cycladic Isles of Greece. We will sail to these remote islands as a flotilla, a group of small ships sailing together. We will hike, snorkel, paddleboard, dive deep into the culture, and take time to simply relax on the beaches and sailboats.
Best part…No sailing (or yoga) knowledge is required. Experienced and specialized staff take care of all the sailing logistics! Simply sit back and join your time.
Yoga
Each day we will explore a new location as well as do yoga in a variety of breathtaking destinations.
Tantric Hatha Vinyasa will bring you into deep communion with your soul.
Ritual
To invoke our inner goddess we will explore the ancient lands of the isles alongside goddess mythology.
Join in rituals of self care coupled with ceremony: Cacao, Full moon, and Goddess
Boat Life
Awaken a sense of freedom, of exploration and wonder.
It's a special sort of excitement and serenity that comes with being powered by nature.
Sit back and let the wind take you away!
The Destination
Cycladic Isles
Rugged, sun-drenched outcrops of rock, anchored in azure seas and liberally peppered with snow-white villages and blue-domed churches with stellar archaeological sites and dozens of postcard-worthy beaches, this is Greece. Throw in a blossoming food scene, some renowned party destinations and a good dose of sophistication, and you really do have the best of Greece’s ample charms. Among the 223 tiny islands, the most popular are Mykonos & Santorini. This journey will take you far from the heralds of tourism.
Sifnos, Serifos, Kimolos & Kea the gems of the western Cyclades will take your breath away.
