Find Your Magic Adventure Retreat: Rediscover Your Brilliance!

**Early-Bird price until the 15th of March 2024**

Something magical happens when we step out of our busy lives and give ourselves time and space for self-reflection, while being immersed in beautiful nature: we find a renewed appreciation for the simple, profound joy of being alive.

This 8-day Retreat has been lovingly designed to help you playfully ponder any questions that you wish to explore whilst enjoying daily wellness practices and exhilarating adventures to some of Crete’s most magical spots.

As facilitators, our intention is to help you de-stress, relax, let go of any blocks and clarify your next steps so that you can return home feeling calm, clear and rejuvenated.
