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.

Toran

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

Held in the sacred landscape of Gozo, our signature “Slow Living” retreat journey weaves somatic practice, creative expression, deep rest, ritual, and the healing power of community.
Our week-long immersion is an invitation to draw back from the noise of life and gently return to the rhythm of your body, your breath, and your truth. At Samudra, we create safe and sacred space for the process of remembering. Who are you beneath the noise, the masks and the roles? Slow Living is where you come to feel again. To be seen again. To choose yourself, again.
Slow Living is a soul retreat for those ready to meet themselves—not as they should be, but as they are.

At Samudra, we gather in sacred space to pause, soften, and gently peel back the layers. Through somatic practice, ritual, creative expression, emotional inquiry, and community, this retreat guides you back to the wisdom of your body and the quiet clarity of your inner truth.

Each day on retreat is an invitation to:

≜ Reclaim the forgotten parts of the self

≜ Listen to what you’ve rushed past

≜ Hold the parts of you that have felt too much or not enough

≜ To unlearn, unmask, and reweave your wholeness

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 more than a wellness destination - it is a living sanctuary for sacred reconnection. Samudra is a place for self-study, inner work and personal growth where you are required to participate and open yourself to new perspectives, share with others and live in a community environment. You will be led an held by our community with six facilitators and cooked for daily by our in-house chef. Together we have created a nurturing, loving and safe environment to welcome you home.

This retreat accommodates up to 12 guests across our beautiful, 400-year-old traditional farmhouses each with their own private pools and serene views of the Mediterranean sea and surrounding nature.

Life changing Experience!

I went to the Samudra Retreat in Gozo, with no expectations on how my journey of healing would end. From Day 1 to 7, the spiritual healers (Mila, Beatrice, Iris & Sankara) were so caring, empathetic and insightful. Nico, chef extraordinaire, made it a 5 + star culinary experience that surpassed my expectations. The venue, spiritual guidance, tools, atmosphere, and accommodations, created a safe and calming environment. All of the guests at the retreat were some of the most empathetic, loving and caring people I have ever met. One of the hardest parts about leaving was that I was going to miss the people that I had only known for a week. We bonded, supported each other and cheered each other on as we all navigated through our own experiences of grief, trauma and healing. When I got home I received a follow up email with tools and other materials to continue my path of self discovery. I know this was just a start to my healing but wow, what a great start it was. Thank you! I am so grateful for this life changing experience.

I feel reborn!

They say, if life gives you lemons, make lemonade! I feel ive been gifted my own unique recipe!

Lemonade of life, balance sweet & sour!

As a mum, business owner, struggling wife, parents with failing health, past unresolved trauma. Id spent years of filling my nervous system to the top, removing myself from the agenda because of time constraints and life pressures, accepting what my life was, until I broke. I was lost, lonely, masking, trying to survive. Id tried talking therapy, and so much more

Then I came to Samudra and for the first time in years I feel reset.

Its impossible to describe with words the 'magic' the 'gifts' the 'wow' the incredible, beautiful souls at Samudra have!

They opened me up to myself, aligned me, breathed balance inside me, saw 'me' and all my rawness! Removed so much weight, created space in my chaos, made me feel strength in my vulnerablity and made me see ways to shape a beautiful path forward in my
life.

Coupled with the beautiful people who joined my trip I feel so much gratitude for the 'space' held

The experience was in many ways indescribable, but the outcome on my whole self is rich beyond measure...I've learned to love myself, to see my true self! Thank you

Alot of change will happen in my life, slowly, but surely

Having learned how to really meditate and use breath work, to pause and find my focus will be invaluable to my journey ahead

Samudra is more than a retreat, to recommend it doesn't begin to do justice to the offerings

Not to mention the INCREDIBLE food, beautiful setting

Thank you for gifting me the insight of how to make lemonade with the lemons of my past, and those yet to come!

A Perfect Place to Reset and Reconnect

Sumudra was a wonderful way to start my new year. The experience helped me gain clarity on the steps I need to take to truly take charge of my life. The food prepared by Nico was absolutely delicious and nourishing, and the clean, calm, and cozy location created the perfect space to relax and reflect. Every member of the Sumudra staff was incredibly welcoming and patient, which made the entire experience feel safe, supportive, and truly special. I would highly recommend Sumudra to anyone who is looking to reconnect, needs guidance, and is seeking a supportive space to do so.

Meet Yourself Exactly As You Are

I wish there were words to describe the immense impact this retreat had on the course of my life. The setting in Gozo was peaceful, safe and breathtakingly beautiful. The personalized therapies, community chats, amazing meals and like-minded people really changed the way I look at the world. If you are ready to meet yourself, to love who you are becoming and to let go of all that doesn’t serve you… go! Do it!! I promise you won’t regret it. :)

Yes Yes Yes

Words that come to mind as I recall my Samudra retreat on Gozo last month: healing, therapeutic, surprising, fun, harmonious, healthy, affordable, kind, spiritual, nutritious, surprising, creative, deep, honest, trusting, nurturing, transcendent. Get the idea? I hesitated before signing up, and now I can’t imagine my life without this experience. To say it changed my life is not hyperbole. It was like cataract surgery—like a cleansing away of a milky film to reveal a life with more radiance and ease, more spirituality and gratitude, more connection to ancestors and nature and immortality. So, I’m now holding both your shoulders and looking deeply into your eyes, as your friend and elder, to tell you to go, to just go to Samudra, and step into the greater majesty of your life.
