THE GIFT OF SELF LOVE

Remembering how to be gentle and compassionate with yourself when things get tough.

14-20 September 2023 | Antiparos, Greece

THE ESOTERIC JOURNEY

In the words of our guests: “This is not just a yoga retreat!”. This is a spiritual journey of deep transformation. You will cry, you will scream, you will be inspired, you will laugh, you will meet the deepest, most vulnerable layers of your psyche in mystical ways and you will be reborn in a community of like-hearted humans. During this journey, your Spirit, Soul and Higher Self will come together to gently make you aware of your psychic depths, your wounds and power. These are your inner energy portals to a life of inner peace.

 

Sofia, your host and spiritual guide,  will hold space for you to go deeper by activating parts of your psyche you hadn’t accessed before, and will help you process and integrate them. Anything that is not aligned with your higher purpose will be released. By the time you return home, you will know how to access your inner source of loving power and will be ready to explore your personal journey with a robust sense of self worth, compassion and purpose.

Here’s all the information you will need to travel to Antiparos.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Sofia is a 500hr certified Yoga & Psychology Instructor (since 2017). She guides your body to progressively open up and find comfort, depth & flexibility. Her practice is suitable for all levels of yoga practitioners.

 

It is through the body that the spirit manifests into the world. For that reason, Sofia infuses Vinyasa and Kundalini Yoga elements to create an immediate connection with your Higher Self. During each retreat she masterfully takes her guests on spiritual journeys of deep healing and inner transformation.

 

Rest assured that the impact of this experience will last long after the retreat ends.

DETAILS THAT MATTER

THE ISLAND

The retreat takes place on the charming island of Antiparos, with its whitewashed buildings, blue-domed chapels and fuchsia bougainvillea trees.

 

Together, we will explore the Cave of Antiparos, swim at mesmerising beaches, eat at local taverns and stroll around the narrow streets of Chora and the Kastro.

 

Antiparos holds a unique soft energy that amplifies the sense of gentleness, self love, peace and inner healing. If that’s what you are looking for, Antiparos is just the right place for you!
