About this Retreat
Your Guides
Lisa Grezo is an Empowerment and Pleasure Coach dedicated to creating spaces where people can return to their authentic truth and the wisdom of their bodies. Her work is rooted in the principles of consent, embodiment, and self-connection, empowering participants to make choices from a place of clarity, integrity, and freedom.
She has trained extensively in Consent, working with both The Wheel of Consent and Somatic Consent, and integrates these frameworks deeply into her teaching. With a background in NLP, hypnotherapy, Tantric bodywork, breathwork, TRE, and Holistic Pelvic Care, Lisa brings a wealth of experience in both personal transformation and facilitating deep healing processes. Her own journey, from overcoming people-pleasing and disconnection to reclaiming her body’s truth, informs her compassionate, grounded, and empowering style of facilitation.
Lisa is passionate about weaving community, self-responsibility, and the power of embodied consent into everyday life. Whether guiding workshops, ceremonies, or one-to-one sessions, she creates safe, nurturing spaces where participants can slow down, feel, and step into their fullest truth.
Details of this retreat
We all need touch and connection. But how do you navigate getting these needs met in an empowered and authentic way? This workshop will introduce you to simple yet profound ways for negotiating connection, rooted in the principles of consent.
This is a journey of deepening self connection and self awareness. When you are in touch with yourself and your feelings in an embodied way, you can make clearer choices, rewire old patterns of relating, and experience a more profound sense of connection, with yourself first and then with others and the world around you.
The tools you will learn and embody during this immersive week in Greece will bring greater integrity, self responsibility, joy, curiosity, confidence, and freedom into all your relationships, in particular the one with yourself.
Your workshop experience
Over the course of the week, you will:
✦ Activate your somatic inflow, regulate your nervous system, and awaken sensation in your skin
✦ Discover the power of noticing your present moment experience
✦ Expand your ability to be present with and communicate vulnerable feelings
✦ Dramatically improve the quality of your touch
✦ Experience the distinction between giving and receiving and the profound impact of both
✦ Explore the four ways of interacting via touch (based on ‘who is doing the action’ and ‘who it is for’) and the joys and challenges of each
✦ Learn how to create clear and impeccable agreements with others
✦ Connect to your desires and develop confidence in asking for what you want
✦ Learn the power and importance of “no”, noticing and communicating your boundaries
✦ Identify and release unconscious survival strategies such as people pleasing, victimhood, and unspoken expectations
✦ Make empowered choices with awareness and self responsibility
✦ Expand your capacity for pleasure, joy and embodied presence
✦ Practises to honour yourself and let go of what is no longer serving you
And much more!
This is an experiential workshop where we will explore through non sexual conscious touch, meditation, movement, breathwork and sharing. You will have the opportunity to take part in solo and partnered touch practices, but participation in any exercise is ALWAYS YOUR CHOICE. Consent is at the heart of this work, ensuring that every interaction is rooted in your sovereign truth moment to moment.
Although we will explore consent through the medium of touch, the awareness and communication skills gained here will ripple into all areas of life. This workshop is for anyone seeking to deepen all their relationships, whether with intimate partners, friends, family, or colleagues. No prior experience is needed.
This approach is based on Somatic Consent, an engagement system that supports us in connecting with OURselves and others on a richer, deeper level. It brings us into awareness of our sensations, feelings, and choices, leading to greater self-trust and authenticity in all our interactions.
Immersed in Nature
This offering weaves together retreat, embodied learning, and community living — all held within the nourishing embrace of the Kalikalos Community, a holistic centre nestled on Greece’s stunning Pelion Peninsula. Encircled by vibrant forest and close to some of the most breathtaking beaches, this land creates the perfect environment to slow down, reconnect with yourself, build meaningful connections with others, and be held by the wisdom of the natural world.
After breakfast the mornings will be dedicated to the workshop process while the afternoons will be spent on the beaches basking in the sun, swimming in the Aegean Sea or simply relaxing in the community and enjoying the natural beauty of the surrounds. It’s a really fantastic location to unwind and be nourished by both nature and community connection.
As part of the community immersion, we will join in a community circle on the first morning and complete the week by gathering with the community for a fire-side sharing circle on the last evening. We’ll take part in community activities such as preparing and tidying up and we’ll share delicious home-cooked vegetarian meals with many of the ingredients grown on site.
Extend Your Journey: Optional 7-Day Integration Stay
After the workshop you have the option to stay for an additional 7-day integration period. This week offers you a more relaxed pace, giving you a space to process what you’ve learned while remaining in the supportive environment of Kalikalos.
This integration week is ideal for those of us who wish to take the time to land fully in ourselves, and our new awareness, before returning to daily life.
What Past Participants Say
What I’ve learned in this workshop will change my life.
I learned so much that is directly applicable to my real-life relationships and interactions.
The facilitators embodied the principles of consent with such clarity and compassion. It was inspiring to see this approach lived out in everyday interactions.
I felt so held by the beautiful location and the sense of community. The balance of deep exploration in the mornings and beach time in the afternoons was perfect. Highly recommended!
I discovered how hard it was for me to say “no”—and even harder to know what I actually wanted. Thanks to this workshop, I now have tools to navigate these challenges and live more authentically.
A Week of Transformation & Connection

Visitors traveling to Kalikalos Anilio typically fly into Athens or Thessaloniki and then travel to the city of Volos by bus or train. From Volos, you may choose from a scenic bus ride or shorter but more expensive trip by taxi. We provide pickup service at the bus stop in Agios Ioannis, a local beach village about ten minutes from the centre. After booking you will receive more details of travel and arrival options.

The building has been extensively renovated to cater for workshop groups, accommodating up to 16 guests in six bedrooms, all with shared toilets and showers. The rooms in the house are simply furnished and have stone floors, which help to keep the space cool in the heat of the summer. There are spectacular views from the upper rooms where there are two double-bed rooms and two larger rooms, one with three beds and the other with four. On the lower floor is a twin room and a room for four. For 2022, all accommodations are single except for members of the same household or pod. We also offer two sets of tents for your camping enjoyment. On the middle level of the site is found the Tent Terrace, with four or five tents set on wooden bases and covered by a sturdy sun and rain cover. A bit further down in the forest are four other tents, three of them on wooden bases. There are also several other “informal” tent spots in and around the forest for the adventurous in body and spirit. Outdoor accommodations all share a spacious and comfortable bathroom block featuring toilets, sinks and solar-heated showers.
