You are carrying so much. The weight of responsibility, the pace of everyday life, the thoughts that never seem to quieten. Somewhere along the way, your own needs slipped further down the list. This retreat is your chance to put them first again.

The Release is six days of space to breathe, to let go, and to remember who you are beneath it all.

Set on the Greek island of Crete, surrounded by crystal clear waters and a backdrop of endless rolling hills, our home for the week is a boutique beachfront hotel close to the world-renowned pink sands of Elafonissi beach - this retreat offers a gentle yet powerful turning point. It is a shedding of what no longer serves you and a reclaiming of the you that has been waiting underneath.

A time to slow down, breathe deep, and reconnect to yourself once again.

When emotional weight builds without support, it shows up in the body. Stress becomes tension. Overwhelm becomes fatigue. A busy mind becomes restless sleep.

The Release is your opportunity to pause, to reset, and to realign. Through daily meditation, breathwork, movement, and deeply restorative practices, you will find space to soften. Leaving with a sense of lightness, clarity, and strength that will move with you long after you return home.

Theis is the perfect balance of restorative wellness, connections over local cultures and cuisine, smiles over similarities with fellow retreaters, and a soul aligned investment in your whole beautiful being.

For teachers and anyone tied to school holidays, these August dates are perfectly placed. This is your chance to refill your own cup, to step into the new season ahead fully restored and reconnected.
