Reset, Restore & Rebalance

5-10th September 2022 - Lefkas, Greece

I'm so excited to welcome you to the first Deia Retreat on my home island of Lefkas, a true paradise that I've escaped to many times over the years in order to disconnect from technology, slow down and enjoy a little mind-body 'reset'. Life is not all about work, work, work and this retreat is all about re-connecting the mind and body by getting away from the daily grind and giving yourself the chance to relax, unwind and recharge your batteries!

WHY IS OUR RETREAT SO SPECIAL?‍

Combining the core pillars of health with ancient wisdom and self-care rituals, our retreat programme is designed to support and nourish you from head to toe! We use the power of food, movement, active relaxation, nature, connection & creativity in practices that will help you to release stress, restore energy and create calm.

Move through our thoughtfully curated programme of activities, explore holistic self-care practices or develop a routine that will serve you long after you have left. This retreat is for you, so take from it what you need! You can expect lovingly prepared plant-based menus, movement medicine sessions to energise and soothe, creative wellness workshops and some Greek island adventures too!

Delivered by a dream team of holistic health experts (yoga & breathwork teacher, holistic health doctor, nutritional therapist) in one of the most beautiful locations in the world you are guaranteed to be leave feeling energised, inspired and ready to journey into autumn with clarity and intention

LOCATION

You'll be welcomed to the newly built 'Skyfall Villa' - a luxury retreat venue on the island of Lefkas with panoramic views that instantly melt away the stress and anxiety of city life. Lefkas is one of the best kept secrets in the Ionian, famous for its sailing, white coastline and turquoise waters. It boasts an abundance of wildlife, pine forests, olive groves and waterfalls too.

Our boho chic villa will make you feel instantly at home and its playful grounds are guaranteed to inspire and delight you. The villa has a roof terrace, outside dining areas, jacuzzi, fire pit lounge and two swimming pools as well as multiple lounge areas. There are plenty of cosy nooks where you can read, nap and meditate as well as spaces to spend time socialising with the group while you take in the views stargazing or losing yourself in the deep blue sea.

HOLISTIC HEALTH ‍

During the programme you'll be offered a 1-2-1 health & lifestyle assessment with me, (Lafina Diamandis - GP & Lifestyle Medicine Coach) focussing on where you are right now in your health & wellbeing, what areas can be improved and what you can do to maintain it once you are home. We will make a personalised plan for you that is inspired by nature, yet grounded in science.

MOVEMENT MEDICINE

Let Bhavisha Pankhania RYT1000+ Yogi, Breathwork Coach & Reiki Practitioner (bhavishayoga.com) lead you through our programme of dynamic and restorative yoga sessions including daily meditations to calm even the busiest of minds. She will also treat us to a mid-week a Breathwork Workshop to reduce stress and anxiety, increase energy and create feelings of blissful relaxation. Bhavisha has 15 years experience in her field and is passionate about sharing her knowledge and experience with all who seek it. She believes that through body awareness, mindfulness, self-introspection and consistent practice, we can find freedom from constrains and become who we are really meant to be.

SOUL FOOD:

A self-confessed foodie with a passion for wellness travel, Sabrina Chorafa our resident nutritional therapist (sabrilliance.com) see retreats as the ideal opportunity to unwind and focus on the body through workshops, reflection, and nutritious food. She has a special interest in emotional health, mind-body connection and eating intuitively and her ambition is to help people to cultivate a positive relationship between food and their bodies, in order to improve their quality of life. Sabrina has lovingly prepared a plant-based menu full of fresh, local, seasonal produce to nourish the mind and body from the inside out!
