The Embodied Goddess Retreat
Sept 9-16, 2023

Invoke & Embody your Inner Goddess

Claim your Goddess-ence 

Release constraints and return to a sense of unbounded joy and freedom.

Join Alesha, Indri & Emeli for a 7-night 8 day journey of remembrance.

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 to soak it all in.

 

We gather to honor our GODDESS(ense): 

Explore the alchemy of ancient wisdom to weave into our modern lives.

Nourish your soul with yoga, breathwork, contemplation & journaling.

Open your heart in ceremony, ritual, and celebration.

Surrender to spaciousness.

Transform.

Immerse yourself in the Elements

We will be a very small group of sisters...

Together, we will practice, explore,  release, and offer yourself an opportunity to expand into your next phase of personal development.  There will be much space for personal reflection as well as alone time, as needed. Likewise, an opportunity for the community to let the magic unfold.

This journey will take place throughout the Isles of Greece. We will sail these gorgeous islands in a 45ft Catamaran. We will explore the islands and have our practices in unique locations. When off the mat we can hike, explore snorkel, paddleboard, dive deep into the culture, and take time to simply relax on the beaches and sailboat.  

 

Best part…No sailing (or yoga) knowledge needed. Experienced staff takes care of all the sailing and our beautiful chef cooks our on-board meals with love and intention.  All you have to do is show up, and be pampered like the Goddess you are!

It's a special sort of excitement and serenity that comes with being powered by nature.

take you away!

The Destination

Greek Isles

Rugged, sun-drenched outcrops of rock, anchored in stunning azure seas and sprinkled with snow-white villages and blue-domed churches. Ancient archaeological sites and countless postcard-worthy beaches, this is Greece. Throw in a blossoming food scene, renowned party destinations, and a good dose of sophistication, and you really do have the best of Greece’s captivating charms.

Yoga & Breathwork Practice

These practices are optional but highly encouraged. Our philosophy is to take our practice off the mat and become an immersive experience. We will be outside, practicing on-board, or in a different scenic location every time, but we will hold space for you in our circle.

In addition to our onboard meals, Alesha will take you to two handpicked gems of restaurants for a welcome and closing meal, offering authentic Greek tastes.

 

Any additional meals beyond Brunch and dinner are up to you- with an ample selection of local restaurants when docked, or you can skip our onboard meals with advance notice to our chef and enjoy the local restaurant fare.

 

Prior to your trip, we will send you a form, during which you will be invited to inform us about your dietary needs so we can ensure that all your meals during the journey are aligned.
