"I used to meditate for 1 or even 2 hours - but I‘ve never been as present and truly in my body as I have been during your retreat. All of this being outside, moving between places, cooking together, building up my tarp brought me so much into the present moment. I‘ve never experienced anything like this for so long.

How can I learn more about this retreat?
You can read this text that one of the former participants wrote. It gives you some more visual impressions and helps you to feel more into it - at least from her perspective.
How do I get there?
The closest airport is Athens International Airport.
We'll meet at this beautiful hotel by the sea in Epidaurus on the first day in the evening. It's a 1:30h ride from Athens. We can build car pools from Athens or you can get there by public transport as well.
You can plan your flight back on the last day of the retreat. The official closing of the retreat happens on Friday evening.
