HEJ* GREEK SUMMER RETREAT
REMEMBERANCE – A JOURNEY BACK TO YOU ✺ BREATHWORK, YOGA & SOUND IN NATURE
17th July - 22nd July 2025 ✺ Pelion Mountains in Greece
Imagine waking to the gentle sound of waves and the scent of wild herbs drifting through the air. Nestled between rugged mountains draped in indigenous forests and the crystal-clear turquoise waters of the Aegean, Pelion is a sanctuary where nature whispers ancient wisdom, inviting you to reconnect with yourself and others.
From the moment I discovered this breathtaking space, I fell in love. It’s a place where the mountains meet the sea, where life slows down, and where we’ve created a retreat with nourishing workshops, amazing food and stunning views. Here, four villas with private pools provide a sanctuary of comfort and serenity. At the heart of our retreat, a Bedouin-style Yoga Shala and an ancient amphitheater with panoramic views serve as sacred spaces for yoga, sound baths, workshops, and transformative releasing rituals.
The theme of this retreat is Remembrance: A Journey Back to You. July, the height of summer, is a season of growth, abundance, and inner illumination. It’s a time to reflect and remember — to remember who you truly are, what life has in store for you, and the balance of giving and receiving that shapes our lives. Across traditions, this moment in the year is a portal for transformation, creativity, and personal empowerment.
This retreat is your invitation to pause, to dance with the rhythm of the elements, and to let nature guide you back to yourself. It’s a week to ground, to reconnect, and to rediscover balance in the middle of summers fast paced energy.
A journey of rememberance. A journey back to you!

OUR HOME:

Our retreat takes place in beautiful stone-built homes and luxury villas that combine bohemian elegance with panoramic views of the Pagasitikos Gulf and Pelion mountains. Whether you're relaxing by the pool, wandering forest trails, or enjoying quiet moments under the stars, every part of this space encourages you to slow down and reconnect.
At the heart of the retreat is a Bedouin-style yoga shala—a cozy gathering place for yoga practices, workshops, sound journeys, and community circles.
Our retreat space includes:
One large Bedouin-style yoga shala for all our practices.
Multiple luxury villas, each with private terraces, shared living spaces, and three pools—creating a cozy “villa village” just for us. All villas have 4–5 rooms, accommodating 6–9 guests, with layouts assigned based on group size and availability.

We’re also close to some of the most stunning beaches in the area, including Lagoudi Beach, Potistika Beach, and Fakistra Beach — all just a 20–30 minute drive away.
