If you have been yearning to learn to sail, this is the training.
THE INVITATION
A crew of five at most, aboard a fast cruiser in the Greek isles, learning real seamanship from an exceptional racing captain. Each day closes with mindful yoga, meditation, and breathwork to decompress, restore balance, and keep the body steady while the mind absorbs the sea. This is not a yoga retreat. It is a sailing immersion held with embodied intelligence.
ISLAND LIFE
THE RHYTHM
How Your Days Unfold
Sail
Learn the ropes: aerodynamics, navigation, communication, regulations, mechanics, safety, weather, mooring — even night sailing.
Integrate
Sunrise meditation, after-sailing yoga stretching to decompress and hone balance for body and mind.
Certify
Prepare for and take the official exams, then let the wind take you.
THE CERTIFICATION
An official license you keep for life
This course is designed for novice sailors and prepares you to charter your own boat. At the end of the week you take the official exams from NASPOR yacht club, certified by the Greek Sailing Federation. Pass, and you receive the basic sailing diploma — an official EU-state certificate that lets you charter a boat anywhere in the world.
—— Alesha earned her own skipper license through this very program in 2023.

This training is so much more than a certification."
