Chios, Greece
an Experiential Greek Island Retreat
SEPTEMBER 1-7, 2026
An island nestled in the North Aegean and the place I call home - I’m beyond excited to invite you to retreat with me here, in a part of the world that holds much of my personal story alongside its own rich history, a vibrant local community, and a way of life that has remained rooted in tradition over time. Rituals are alive here, not for the sake of preforming for tourists, but in a practiced sense - to exist in harmony with the land, the seasons, and each other.
This retreat combines an immersion in simplistic living – the true essence of Greek island culture – with daily embodiment and movement practices. You can think of this as modern yoga retreat meets visiting your friend in her family’s village. It’s for those who are seeking an alternative to touristic travel and cookie-cutter retreat experiences.
Together we’ll explore the island through the eyes and hearts of the locals, connecting with the people, the land, and each other. The natural environment and rhythm of island life invites us to slow down and inquire inward, a process that will be supported by our yoga practice and other forms of embodied connection. These complementary experiences create the space to step out of our usual patterns and make room for new clarity, inspiration, and possibility.
Eona Chios
Eona Chios is a restored, one hundred year old home in the seaside village of Nenita, located on the southern part of the island - also know knowns as the “Mastihoria” or Mastic Villages. Through most of the year, Eona is home to an artist residency program (Descover Artists). The space itself invites exploration and curiosity all the while maintaining its original character and historic beauty.
The house is located in the heart of the village, about a 25 minute walk to the beach and a short distance to a grocery store and the local square (which has a coffee shop and taverna serving delicious local food).
The group size is intentionally small to preserve ease, rhythm, and a sense of shared presence. Spots are very limited.

The Details
-
This retreat is intended to hold the balance between structure and flow. Each day will be anchored with a morning movement practice and a group meal at 3pm (when Greeks eat their main meal). Most days will include a beach excursion. In the afternoons, we will honor the local tradition of rest. There will be a few organized events intended to connect with Chiotiki culture sprinkled throughout the week. Everyone is of course encouraged to make the most of their experience, so if that means venturing outside of the retreat structure, by all means - go for it!
-
Transportation to all “retreat activities” - i.e. beach days and organized group events will be provided and is included in the cost of the retreat. If you’d like the option to explore on your own (for example, during the afternoon rest time) we recommend renting a car. We will also provide a list of trusted taxi drivers.
-
A 600 euro non-refundable deposit is required to hold your spot.
Final payment must be provided 6 weeks before the retreat start date. If we don’t receive your final payment by the requested date, your spot will be made available for another person to book. In this case, we will not refund your deposit.
As a first-time retreat, we reserve the right to cancel the retreat up to 2 months prior to the retreat date (by July 1, 2026) in event that we do not meet minimum capacity for bookings. In this case, your deposit will be returned to you.
