About this Retreat
Alexandra Vranopoulou soul's purpose is to guide people in their awakening and healing journey by helping them connect with their hearts through the frequency of love.
Even though her true nature is a healer, she personally does not resonate with the belief that healers are meant to heal other people, from her perspective no one can truly heal you but yourself.
She is there to provide guidance, support and the tools that she has collected throughout her own healing journey of remembering to empower you to become your own healer.
Everything she does is channeled, so it is very unique and different every time. She works with meditation, energy healing and through ceremony.
Her one to one sessions are intuitive, she channel's with her higher self and your own personal guides to custom make your time together based on your needs in that specific part of your journey.
In this retreat she will guide you through various practices and ceremonies to reconnect with all the elements within and without, empowering you to remember and reconnecting to your true nature and the divine, powerful being you are.
During the retreat you will also have the opportunity to experience a private, one on one session, with her upon request.
*There are going to be limited spots available.
"Once we allow ourselves to remember that we are nature and that all elements are being expressed through us, they can then become our most powerful allies and guide us in becoming our own healers."
Claire den Hartog is a certified integrative wellbeing guide, offering individuals with a nourishing selection of holistic therapies & well-being practices that allow her clients to experience clarity within body, mind & spirit.
Claire’s embodiment sessions are intuitively created to help you navigate the journey of remembering and the embodiment of the 4 elements (air, fire, water) in the body, mind & spirit.
Her movement journeys will be an invitation to dive into the authentic essence of all of your bodies & the natural elements found within & without your being. Allowing you to (re)discover and explore what it really feels & means to be fully embodied within your true Self.
Each day, we will travel through one specific element, with the intention to be curious, experiment & develop our understanding & experience of the elemental nature within our bodies & our environment.
She will be there to hold and create a safe space for you to release anything that does not serve you anymore, by releasing the past, in order to create space for the present and future to fully unfold.
Through integrative body movements, yoga, meditation, breathwork & trauma release exercises, we will transform pain into pleasure, fear into curiosity and stagnation into fluidity.
Alexandra Mitsiou is a food creative + stylist experimenting with food as a medium of expression, nourishment, and mindfulness.
Trained as a biologist, she extended her studies to the science of cooking and got traineeship in various professional kitchens in the Netherlands.
Combining a scientific and a heart felt approach to food, she is interested in the interactions of our physical and emotional body with the resource.
Her attention is drawn by food textures, forms & colour palettes with the aim to demonstrate the essence of food and its relation to our senses, emotions and psyche.
She invites you to pause and listen, touch and feel, taste, take in the scent and observe the changes of what we see and what is happening within us.
Since recently, she has answered her calling and started working with the sacred cacao from the Mayan communities of Guatemala. Adding this as a food element and a fundamental ancestral guide to heart opening and social connection.
During the retreat she will guide a food meditation practice to help us connect with the resource and fully emerge in it with all our senses. She will also give a cacao ceremony around the fire holding the space to open our hearts and express our gratitude towards the elements that support our existence, praise mother Earth, connect and interact with each other like one.
Laoura Gini has been connected to sound for more than 25 years now. From being a pianist, to film composer, to sound healer she has created a bridge between Western and Eastern musical traditions and healing arts.
As a pianist she had the blessing of collaborating with many great musicians in the field of classical, jazz and ethnic music with live concerts and performances all over Europe.
In 1997 she had a transformational wake up call – a severe health problem - which drastically changed the direction of her life.
For over 10 years she has been travelling to India and Nepal studying Nada Yoga, the yoga of Sound, exploring the integration of subtle forms of vibrations and awareness through sound and voice.
It was in Santa Fe / New Mexico where she came in contact with Planetary Gongs and the Music of the Spheres of Pythagoras for the first time. It was a harmonious awakening journey of transformation through the sacred sound and frequency and has been weaving them into her healing work since then.
In her Sound Healing sessions she works with planetary Gongs, Tibetan bowls, tingshas, tuning forks, native drums,
monochord , as well as voice and mantras.
Martina Cerini has been a massage healer for the past six years.
The the type of healing massage Martina does is called Via Della Luna, which in english means The Way Of The Moon.
Via Della Luna is a holistic treatment born from the fusion of physiotherapy techniques on the cranio-sacral balancing treatment combined with the therapeutic culture of the Indians Amazonian and Central American Shamans. It helps the vital energy to flow to all parts of the body to ensure health and serenity by removing blocks that obstruct the energy from all of the bodies ( physical, emotional and light body ) .
In the beginning of the session Martina connects through meditation to Father Sky and Mother Earth and asks for their support and guidance. She then travels within the bodies and connects to them with all of her senses, to feel, see and sense what your bodies need.
This journey will gift you with energetic nourishment, love, care, softness and will promote self-acceptance of oneself and one's body, raise your self-esteem, restore balance, clear the mind and reconnect you with your naturalness. It is also highly effective and healing for the skeletal, lymphatic, blood, muscular and nervous systems.
Marianna Pateraki is an advisor in humanitarian crises in Asia and Africa trying to support communities become resilient .
She is deeply interested in healing practices on grief and trauma, conflict and disasters leading to recovery and empowerment.
Her calling has been to support women that have been culturally suppressed, encouraging them, with respect towards their beliefs, into finding their voice and stepping into their power within their communities.
You will hear her stories in the women's circles and she will be inviting you to share yours with an open heart.
During the retreat she will be there to support you for any questions you might have regarding the coordination, queries, requests for administrative support, payments or just a warm hug.
Details of this retreat
This is an ivitation for women of all ages, from all over the world, to join us on this sacred Journey Of Remembering, ground and retreat together holistically at a farm in the Greek mountains of Pavliani.
Each day will be dedicated to a specific element, calling upon it’s medicine, wisdom and support through Movement, Meditation, Embodiment and Breathwork practices as well as Food and Herbal Workshops, Playshops, Sound Healing, Rituals and Ceremonies.
We will be connecting with humbleness and respect towards
The Goddess of the Fire
The Spirits of the Air
Mother Earth and
The Creatures of the Water.
Once we allow ourselves to remember that we are nature and all the elements are being expressed through us, they can then become our most powerful allies by guiding us into becoming our own healers.
It is going to be a very powerful and healing journey, diving within to re-member, connect, discover and explore all of your bodies and inner wisdom.
Your physical body is one with your emotional, spiritual and light body.
They are all connected in ways we do not recall but they are sending us important messages and signals everyday.
The more present we are in our bodies we will start to notice all these messages which are there to guide us in reconnecting with our true nature.
This sacred path and journey of our lives has unfortunately been forgotten and with it our connection to ourselves.
We have been disconnected from our inner voice that was once loud and clear.
As we were growing up beliefs and programming took place that made us desire to fit in and be accepted so we slowly muted it.
For most today it has become a whisper. That whisper is the voice of our core, our inner power and all that we are.
Let's reunite and connect together once again with our inner voice and give it the space it needs to be heard, embraced and loved.
We will invite you to allow yourself to be present, observe and explore how you are feeling and express your thoughts, feelings and emotions in a safe and sacred container. There is no space for judgment towards yourself or others in our circle and no expectations whatsoever, only unconditional love and respect for who you are.
There is no fear or shame in who you are, we will encourage you to remember that you have the power to self heal, reconnect to your core and create the life that you always wanted for yourself.
We are all one energy expressing itself as different vessels through the frequency of love.

Accommodation
Vasilikia Mountain Farm and Retreat is located in the mountains of Pavliani in Greece, it is considered by the locals to be the land of the fairies. We will be staying in wooden and stone houses that feature artworks, collectibles, curios and design details which give them their special appeal and create a welcoming atmosphere that makes guests feel right at home. Certain aspects of the farm – such as the organic garden, the pond with its dam and wooden bridge, the rock garden full of herbs, the tree house, the stone fountain and the natural spring fed by water from a mountain peak deep in the national park – help create a truly idyllic setting that is far from commonplace. The stable with its traditional wooden facade and a hayloft full of authentic ethnic memorabilia, the charming rabbit hutch, the tractor shed, the stone-built pen and drinking trough for the sheep and goats, the cheese dairy, the poultry house and pond for the ducks, geese, turkeys, chickens and guinea fowl which roam freely, all serve to make Vasilikia the ideal place to reconnect with nature. The farm’s most prominent landmark is the log-built observation tower. Twenty meters high, the tower affords an amazing 360-degree view that takes in not only four of central Greece’s most stunning peaks (Mt. Kallidromo, Mt. Othrys, Mt. Oiti and Mt. Giona) but also the sea. Use the telescope to zoom in on points of interest in the surrounding countryside or stargaze to the rustling of leaves, the gurgling of streams and other sounds of the forest. The picture is completed by impressive stands of trees: tall poplars and characteristic local species such as arbutus, tilia, circis as well as acacia, plane, oak and willow. Depending on the season, guests will be able to savor freshly picked mirabelles, sour cherries, hazelnuts, sweet cherries, plums, apples, quinces, chestnuts and walnuts.
