We recommend arriving to Athens the 21st or 22nd, to allow yourself time to adjust to the time zone. We will have an arranged shuttle for all retreat guests at the main square at 11am on Monday, the 24th. This will take everyone directly to and from Pelion, so you don’t need to worry about transportation.

A shuttle will be provided during the day we are off-site, exploring the beach and local villages.

If you plan to come or leave from another city or location, please secure your own transport. The staff is happy to assist with any requests.

Check-in is from 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm on the day of arrival, and check-out is by 11:00 am on the day of departure.

The villas are fully equipped, have pools, panoramic views, chill-out areas, and are neatly clustered in proximity to each other for a harmonious vibe.

The center serves vegetarian, farm-to-table cuisine sourced from their onsite permaculture garden and local farmers. Menus can accommodate vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary needs, if requested in advance.

Each villa will be stocked with additional food, and snacks will be available throughout the day for retreat guests at the main dining center.

There are also a few restaurants within a short walk of the villas if you’d like to venture out during free time and enjoy the local cuisine.

You are more than welcome to bring your own equipment, but it is not a requirement. The on-site shala provides everything we will need for the duration of your stay - including 18 high-quality yoga mats, 5 medium-quality mats, 20 meditation pillows, 20 blankets, 40 cork bricks, and 12 yoga straps.

The Yoga Shala is a fully protected tent space of 70 m². The open-air yoga retreat decking area is 130 m². The space is a few minutes walk from the villas.

Villas and common areas have standard European outlets. The standard voltage is 230 V and the frequency is 50 Hz. This is the standard in most of Europe. You will need a travel adapter for the Type C or Type F sockets used in Greece. If your devices are not dual-voltage (meaning they operate on a wider range, such as 100-240V), you may also need a voltage converter to avoid damaging them. Participants should bring their own adapters and power banks if needed.

You have until May 1st, 2026 to receive 100% refund

You have until June 1st, 2026 to receive 50% of the refund

After the specified dates, refunds will not be permitted due to pre-secured villa reservations.

All retreat participants are required to obtain and maintain valid travel insurance for the full duration of the retreat, including coverage for trip cancellation, medical expenses, emergency evacuation, and personal belongings. By registering for the retreat, participants acknowledge that they are responsible for securing their own insurance coverage and understand that the retreat organizers are not liable for any travel disruptions, injuries, illnesses, losses, or unforeseen events incurred before, during, or after the retreat.
