Luca

My love language is creating a safe and nurturing environment, for one to rest and feel comfortable in. Connection to the elements and the rhythms of the seasons is the way I live my life and I am here to share that with you. The Yogic lifestyle has been a best friend to me over the past decade, helping through illness and struggle. Before moving to Gozo I spent 4 years studying and teaching Yoga and Ayurveda between India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Portugal in various retreat centres. I have now been living in Gozo since 2020, hosting my own retreats. Whilst I am still an avid Yogi, I have been led to work with Reiki and The Akashic Records since being on the island. I will be guiding you through a personal Energy Healing, Group Meditation and Fire Ceremony on the retreat. My wish is for you to join our family and experience a safe space where you can adventure into your own heart and realise your highest potential.

Mila

Mila’s early life as an actress led her to explore the human body and its capacity through movement in theatre, where she spent 30 years as an artistic director and teacher of the arts. This journey led her to realize that we are more than just a physical body, and this is how, why, and when she came across and then fell in love with Yoga. For over 25 years Mila has been immersing herself in holistic health, self-healing, and eastern philosophy, and studying the vast lineages of ancient spiritual wisdom. She has studied and practiced Tai Chi, Reiki, Ashtanga Yoga, Lucid Dreaming, Tarot, and Astrology, and is a qualified Vegan and Vegetarian Nutritionist. Mila left the world of theatre to dedicate her time to spreading the light on Yoga. Holding a wealth of knowledge. Mila wishes for everyone to discover the healing that occurs when we unite our minds with our hearts. To find a clear path where there is no hesitation but only truth.

Kevin

From the Maltese Islands, Kevin and has spent most of his time living here in Gozo. From his time spent in South America learning from indigenous cultures, hosting and running medicine circles for many years, Kevin brings a unique perspective to the retreats.

Kevin brings his gifts of working with sound to the space, to take you on a deep heart awakening journey. Kevin’s ethos is that as humans we are here to simply feel, and so he provides a safe container in which you can truly connect with yourself behind the identity.

Have a conversation with Kevin and you’ll find yourself in a thought provoking soul enquiry. Kevin brings another realm to the retreats, a wild and enticing space to be in.

Iris

Hi, my name is Iris.

I see myself as somebody who moved from modern western science to work and live a more holistic style, understanding the combination of both as a way to lived the life in balance.

From Spain, a lover of travel, I have spent many years of my adult life travelling around different parts of the world.

I studied Pathological Anatomy and Cytology in Spain working in various hospitals as well as research work for six years in inmuno-neuroscience laboratories.

Spending one year in Australia, I worked as a massage therapist actively learning from experienced Chinese, Japanese, Korean professionals, an absolutely wonderful learning experience! One that marked the beginning of my passion.

Since then I haven’t stopped to get deep in bodywork techniques, doing Yoga courses and different styles of massage therapies trainings like Thai Massage, Dynamic Thai Massage, Shiatsu, Wuo Tai, Craniosacral and Lomi Lomi Nui, doing a combination of the different styles with the goal to offering the best of myself in each therapy.

I became a massage therapist because I believe that treating the physical body is a way to help people to bring their own healing to the non-physical body.

Beatrice

« Breathe, smile and enjoy the ride »

Originally from Brussels (Belgium), and after many years in Paris and Hong Kong, Beatrice landed in 2020 on the beautiful island of Gozo, a place that she now calls home.

During her years in Hong Kong, where she worked for a cinema tech company, she started her healing and spiritual journey. First with yoga, which soon became a daily practice when she realised the amazing benefits for the body, mind and soul. After a few years of having to deal with extreme stressful events in both personal and professional aspects of her life, she developed her interest in complementary natural holistic therapies such as energy healing, breath work, sound therapy…

In Hong Kong and also in Bali, which holds a special place in her heart and her healing journey, her path crossed healers, shamans, alchemists who taught her about their philosophy and practices and helped her develop her own natural healing abilities.

She currently holds a Level 3 Reiki certificate (Usui Reiki), a Therapeutic Support Certificate and is also a certified Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra and Meditation teacher (YACEP Yoga Alliance).

Beatrice’s healing sessions are a mix of different techniques, integrating breath, meditation, chakra work... Each session is unique and different, depending of the energy of the person and the present moment. She loves how they can help people feel better and deal with their physical, mental and emotional challenges in their every day life.

Sankara

Sankara is a question maker, a seeker, a finder, a doubt destroyer, a creator of possibilities... Her passion is to dig very deep in the mind and flesh... into the unknown, into what anybody can see, dive under the waters of our emotional body and find the iceberg to fully understand the bigger and whole picture. Touch is her love language, She guesses it was a gift she was born with, but something she discovered after a lot of suffering... When her own awakening and healing journey started the gift of healing through touch came with it. She started learning with the Mayan tribe in Guatemala and Mexico, exploring different cultures and modalities, then she came back to Europe and continued researching and practicing other somatic techniques. Realizing that it doesn't matter which technique you use, there's no better or worse no right or wrong... There's only the connection through Mind and Body, what is going to lead your transformation. Now her purpose is to prevent disease, support realignment and hold others in their awakening and healing journey.

Details of this retreat

We offer seven day retreats nestled in a Mediterranean paradise, designed for you to meet your inner most authentic self and take a soul level transformation.
Our Slow Living Retreats provide the tools to unlock our potential and re-connect with our authentic self. When we take the time to pause from our thinking mind, pull off the masks that we wear to let ourselves be seen, be present with how we feel in our bodies, take a long exhale and sit with our truth, we enter Slow Living.
Each retreat has a diverse programme incorporating relaxation, exploration, creativity, transformative experiences in both a 1:1 personal setting and a community environment.

Samudra is located in the middle of the Mediterranean sea on the island of Gozo in the village of Qala. Gozo, which means 'joy', is a little spit of land sitting in the sea with a unique rocky coastal landscape, waters so crystal-clear and the sky so bright blue that you’ll have to rub your eyes to believe what you are seeing. We host you within our 400-year-old farmhouses that sit across the road from one another. Experience authentic Mediterranean living on your retreat with us.

Samudra is a wellness sanctuary creating deep transformational journeys rooted in ancient wisdom and holistic healing practices. By providing a safe space to rest, reflect and nurture ourselves we return to stability, presence and stillness. From this place we can face our deep-rooted anxieties and fears, question old belief-systems and expand our awareness. Through transformational therapies, practices and rituals we can integrate knowledge into our body and access expansive states of consciousness.

This retreat accommodates from 4 to 10 guests across our beautiful, 400-year-old traditional farmhouses each with their own private pools and views to melt your senses. Read More

Renewed sense of hope, inner peace, and calm

Talking with Luca gave me a renewed sense of hope, inner peace, and calm. She also offered practical guidance and ideas that I can use to take meaningful steps toward making changes in my life.

Hearing someone put into words the very things I’ve quietly struggled with was powerful. Her story, her struggles, background, and the ways she has moved through them (along with the journeys of other leaders at the retreat), made me feel far less alone. It helped me build confidence in trusting myself and honouring my own needs - whether it is needing rest or alone time after socializing, feeling overwhelmed in cities, or sensing that certain environments just don’t align with my energy.

When Luca shared the kinds of environments where people like me can thrive - Ashrams, Yoga Schools, Meditation Centres, Permaculture Communities - it opened up a whole new world of realistic possibilities. She also shared specific places and countries to explore, and generously provided a list of communities to check out. Knowing there are spaces where people live in alignment, with mutual respect and without judgment, gave me hope that the life I need is truly possible.

Some of these ideas I had heard before, but hearing them once again from someone else, who obviously deeply understands and has had a similar lived experience, and others at the retreat allowed the truth to land more fully this time. It moved from something I understood intellectually to something I now believe and feel on a deeper, more embodied level.

I’m leaving with so much to reflect on, both from our conversation and the retreat as a whole. Read More

Renewed hope, a sense of peace / calmness, clarification, and practical ideas to move forward

This retreat exceeded my expectations. It is hard to put into words the healing that I have received from being in Gozo around such a great group of genuine kind hearted, authentic, caring, empathetic, sensitive, non judgemental, thoughtful humans for a week, both the retreat leaders and all the other participants.

At other retreats I have experienced more of an undercurrent of healing whereas with Samudra it seemed more like a holiday in the sun on an island with friends, where people were also there to laugh, have fun and enjoy themselves in the process of deeply healing.

I experienced a very supportive, uplifting, emotionally safe environment where everyone could connect authentically, share without judgement or feel accepted and supported if they did not feel comfortable sharing / participating at a particular time. One housemate in particular went out of her way to make me feel like an accepted member of the group (along with proactively being considerate reaching out checking regarding having other retreat guests over in the shared spaces of the house).

Two of the retreat leaders Kevin, and Iris sat talking to me for hours outside of the scheduled individual contact time. Iris sitting with me chatting like you might to a friend late into the night after I was feeling particularly overwhelmed felt very supportive and meant a lot to me, along with her practical advice about my living situation and sharing her own past experiences. Iris’s expertise and intuition with massage are nothing like I have experienced before in any massage. Kevin’s insights, questions to consider, practical advice, and encouragement have been very supportive including checking in after the retreat.

Mila’s Yoga philosophy was thought provoking and her breathwork techniques session showed us there are many different types even if one type has not worked for you in the past. Luca’s Tarot/chat and practical advice around living situations and her background was very helpful, and she even wrote some extra notes for me to research later. Beatrice’s kind loving energy, presence and positivity is contagious. Nikos the chef is extremely dedicated, enthusiastic, and clearly has a deep passion for his work, providing such a variety of healthy, nutritious and tasty meals.

This week in Gozo with Samudra has meant so much to me, I have received renewed hope, a sense of peace / calmness in my body, clarification, and practical ideas to move forward and make changes in my life, along with offers of further support from Kevin and Iris, and just a great deal of healing from realising for the first time that there are spaces with positive minded, caring, deeply feeling, sensitive, empathetic, authentic, non judgemental people out there. After a previous retreat I went to a few months ago, I had started to get more of a hunch about what I needed in life, but this one has confirmed it 100%. Read More

Kind loving energy and presence

Thank you so much for your kind loving energy and the positivity you bring to people you are around and the world. I appreciate the time I spent in your presence. Thank you for the energy healing session where, I had intense feelings come up for the first time in a long time in that way. Thank you for the Yoga Nidra which made my smile and feel happy, and for telling me about your background. Hearing your story and that of the other leaders at the retreat has really helped move something I was starting to understand intellectually about my own living situation / environments and how they affect me, to something I now believe and feel on a deeper, more embodied level.

Authenticity, Guidance, Insights, Thought provoking questions, Support

Talking with Kevin at one point regarding the possibility of staying in Malta longer and his offer of support with this, I felt a huge weight lifted off me.

I appreciate him reaching out to chat and support me outside of the scheduled individual contact time.

Kevin’s insights, questions to consider, practical advice, and encouragement have been very helpful and he has continued to check in with me now the retreat has ended. I can tell he deeply cares about helping people.

I really appreciate his authenticity in sharing his background, eye gazing - for really seeing me and letting me see him, the thought provoking questions he asked (which I am still reflecting on), his ideas on philosophy/spirituality, book recommendation, ideas on accepting/agreeing with others projections, his soliciting supportive feedback for me from the group, and offering / running the post care programme. I appreciate his trying to carefully balance creating a supportive, healing, but also light and fun atmosphere, in sharing circles / ceremonies, even when people arrived late.

The past few days since leaving the retreat my nervous system has been very calm, at peace and hopeful, in a way that it has not been for a long time. I now have renewed hope that what I need to thrive in life is actually possible to achieve, thanks to Kevin’s guidance and the other retreat leaders, along with his offer of further support, I also now see the possibility of actually putting changes into practice.

Renewed sense of possibilities, support, hope, kind presence and calming grounding energy

Talking with Iris gave me a renewed sense of possibilities, hope, inner peace, and calm.

I really appreciate her so much for sitting and chatting with me when I was feeling overwhelmed, until late into the evening. It felt very supportive to have a conversation with someone (like you might a friend) in a way that I do not get that much in my normal life on topics I am struggling with and from someone who has lived experience finding solutions for them. I found her practical guidance especially around living in Malta, Portugal, and in communities from personal experience super useful and insightful. Her offer of continued support is very much appreciated. I can tell she really cares about helping people.

I just wish I had been able to record the conversation, to remind myself of everything that was said.

Some of the general ideas I had heard before, but hearing them once again from someone else, who deeply understands and has had a similar lived experience, and others at the retreat allowed the truth to land more fully this time. It moved from something I understood intellectually to something I now believe and feel on a deeper, more embodied level.

Thank you for your kind presence and calming grounding energy at the retreat, and for your expertise and intuition with the massage which are nothing like I have experienced before in any massage.

I have left with a lot of hope that what I need to thrive in life is actually possible to achieve and practical ideas of how to get there. Read More
