Details
We live fast. We live in our heads. We scroll, perform, produce, and somewhere along the way we lose the thread back to ourselves. Root & Rise is a return. To your body. To real connection with other people. To the quiet knowing that lives in your tissue, in your breath, in your feet on the ground. For five days on Crete we use embodiment, somatics, ritual and community as our language. Because the body does not lie and real connection nourishes.

A hostel is not just a place to crash for a night; it’s an experience. Forget what Europe taught you about hostels, and feel this: You’re in the heart of Cretan wild nature, in a 178 yo traditional mansion with Catalonian elements. It’s sunny and warm, so you get a refreshing local drink from the bar, chat with the guys there and head to the pool to get your feet a bit wet. You pass by the trees in the yard, spot a shadowy corner and relax in the hammock with that book you are carrying around aiming to finish. You feel fresh. Want to meet people, try something new. Everything and everyone around seems inviting, welcoming. You hear stories from around the globe and it feels like you experienced them too, cause you are living in the moment, fully. Want some privacy? Many spots around. Want to sleep? The bunk beds in the dormis have curtains all around, individual lamps, bedside tables, power sockets. Want to enjoy the crystal clear, turquoise waters of the island? We can give you a ride. Work? We got a coworking space, office-equipped. Feeling playful? We got a Fantasy Game Room. Hungry? There’s a mini market with local products and meals. All you may need, unfolding before you. But our personal favourite? Those sunsets that look like the sky is on fire, generously presenting us all colours of nature’s palette. And a nice drink, great company and deep music vibrations to complete that perfect day we just had. But never forget, our Hostel is a living organism. One day you may find us chilling around, and the other crawling from hungover or exhaustion after an event or festival; cause yeah, we have these too. Check, check aand check.
