Frequently asked questions

This isn't your typical spiritual retreat in Crete/Greece. It's an experiment in radical community-based healing, focusing on what it means to heal together in a collapsing system, not to escape from it. The retreat is about creating a space for honest conversation and authentic connection. It is a place to nourish you from the inside out, in company of other mothers who hold a lot, and a great remind you deserve to receive.

The retreat will take place in the beautiful and ancient land of Crete, Greece, a place that holds a deep personal significance for the facilitators. The land itself is a key part of our journey, and we will be engaging with it in a truly authentic way. It will be in Terra Preveli near Rethymnon, site. https://terrapreveli.com/

Unlike traditional healing retreats, our time is not filled with structured "wellness" activities. We will have space for real conversations about real things, quiet time, movement that doesn't require you to perform, and traditional food experiences shared without spiritual performance. This is a time for you to simply be as you are. We will of course offer our many years of wisdom gathered and attuned spaces of presence and healing, but we are also interested in what we can co-weave. This retreat will offer you a chance to clearly ASK what you need, and ensure you receive it.

some of the offerings will be : healing circles on the sand, experiencing the Ancient Mother Spiral , dance and breathwork , traditional cretan food , cooked also by our own mothers, a FREE spa gift for you in one of our days, a community trip to a local restaurant to be together as a tribe, and many more, a walk through kourtaliotiko gorge for a walking journey to the beach. and more...

The retreat will be located in the beautiful and sacred land of Crete, Greece. in Terra Preveli near Rethymnon. Our experience is rooted in the traditional ways of the land, including sharing meals made from local, authentic food. ( we will even have our own mothers cook for us for a day or more!). We will bring my family's homemade wine for a taster too for those who would like a glass of Dionysian vino by the land!

This is an opportunity to connect with the land and the culture and other mothers, in a way that nourishes both your body and soul. The land is nurturing the law of simplicity but with great comforts. This is not a luxury retreat with VIP bedrooms , it is inviting you to remember fully the earthy, humble, abundant inner Mother within your own soul!

We will have a roughly arranged structure with Anna Moraki , our other facilitator. We will envisage to create a slow contemplative space and engage in "slug pace". In our rushed modern times we mothers often long to SLOW DOWN.

we will be starting our day with a relaxed breakfast, each woman s free to find her own little structured free play wandering among our days. our main core value will be to swim in freedom.

having said this we will have prepared a lot of healing circles activities and spiral immersions, archetypal wisdom, story telling for mums to be read to, drum journeys, breathwork and movement/dance , is all part of the programme, held in the loosely divine unconditional arms of the Great Mother Within.

immersing in the river can become part of our ritual and mothers are also welcome to swim at any time.

The beach s 45 minute away on foot, which will make to a very pleasant group trip, as a walking journey.
