Taking time off from life is a calling. First, a retreat with Dr Joe Dispenza, then my retreat with Maria Kristina, then silence 🤫 Accept what is ❤️

Our RESET RETREAT in Antiparos is only 3 weeks away - Sept 19-24

And there’s something about this retreat that makes it very different from the usual wellness getaway.
We believe that how we eat, move and restore ourselves should change with the seasons.
Our bodies don’t experience summer in the same way they experience winter. Our energy, appetite, sleep, movement and the foods naturally available to us all shift throughout the year — yet most of us live and eat almost exactly the same way year-round.
During these 5 days, Marias Dao and I will take you through the seasons, combining the principles of seasonal nutrition with QiGong, breathwork and meditation.
🌱 Spring
☀️ Summer
🍂 Autumn
❄️ Winter

Each day brings a different seasonal experience — including the way we practice, the foods we prepare and eat, and what we can learn from that season.
As far as we know, this is the only retreat dedicated to actually experiencing and practising wellness through the seasons, rather than simply talking about it.

And Antiparos is a pretty wonderful place to do it. 🏝️

We still have ONE room available for someone or a couple who may want to join the full retreat.

And a special option for our neighbours in Paros & Antiparos:
If you live in or are visiting here, you can join us for €150 per day, starting with us on September 20, and stay for as many retreat days as you wish. We ask everyone to begin on Day 1 because RESET is designed as a journey - each day, each season.

Five days of:
🧘 QiGong, meditation & breathwork
🥗 Real seasonal food and nutrition
🌿 Learning how to live more in tune with the seasons
🏝️ Nature, sea and the quiet of Antiparos
☀️ Time to slow down, restore and reconnect

No previous experience is needed.

If this sounds like something you’ve been looking for, or you know someone in Paros or Antiparos who might love to experience it - write RESET in comments OR send me a private message.

Our RESET RETREAT in Antiparos is now 4 weeks away 🌿

From September 19–24, Maria & I will be spending five days together exploring QiGong, breathwork, meditation and REAL seasonal nutrition, with plenty of time to slow down, enjoy the island and reconnect with ourselves and nature.

And we wanted to open the door a little wider.

If you’re already in Paros or Antiparos, you don’t necessarily need to join us for the entire retreat. You can join us from Day 1 and stay for as many days as you wish, for €150 per day. We only ask that everyone begins together on September 20, because the retreat is designed as a process that builds from the first day onward.

We also still have 1 ROOM AVAILABLE for someone who would like to experience the full retreat.

Expect:

🏝️ The beauty and quiet of Antiparos
🧘 QiGong, movement, meditation & breathwork
🥗 Seasonal, nourishing food
🌿 Practical tools to take home with you
☀️ And 5 days devoted to slowing down, restoring energy and simply feeling better

No previous experience is needed.

If you’re into last minute Retreat OR you are in Paros or Antiparos, or know someone who will be here in September and might enjoy joining us, share this with them or message me privately for details.
