 RETREATS FOR WOMEN
– Journeys that transform
Our women travelers to Greece are like you.
We are homemakers, caregivers, educators and businesswomen. We are professionals, artists, gardeners and opera buffs. We may know each other in a community context; professional or special interest group. Whether you're traveling with a familiar group or going solo, this experience is created with you in mind.
Retreat to Evia and Beyond (tm) has expanded its vision and now resides at the High Groves Estate in Epidaurus, Peloponnesus, Greece!
This latest holistic and well-being retreat takes place at the birthplace of the healing sciences and arts, Epidaurus, where in 400 B.C. Asclepius, the man-god of healing, had his sanctuary, where the ancient world came for cures that ranged from dream therapy to brain surgery, millennia before this knowledge was re-discovered by the modern world.
During your ten-day stay, you will discover opportunities to change your life forever, guiding you back to the vitality you may have lost as you restore a positive perspective and re-discover that place in yourself where serenity, clear-headedness and power reside.
Leave behind the familiar and find yourself in a country richly endowed with history, beauty and simplicity. Free yourself to rediscover your passions, your creativity and your ability to balance and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Each Retreat to Evia and Epidaurus™ is uniquely tailored to meet the needs of the group and is limited to 20 travelers. The constants are the unparalleled majesty of High Groves Estate, the beauty of the Aegean Sea, the wonderful Mediterranean food, now considered the healthiest in the world, and the de-emphasis of rigorous scheduling in favor of tranquility, culture and fun. High Groves, our “base” throughout your stay offers the security of a nurturing environment, with no packing and re-packing required!
You will meditate amidst the temples, amphitheater and sanctuaries of the medical center of the ancient world; you will share a quiet afternoon of reflection with a 2,500 year old olive tree that has witnessed the journey of humankind from that golden period until today.
You will bathe in hot sulfur springs that still rise from the active volcano whose eruption, millennia ago, submerged parts of this ancient Greek settlement, whose ruins can be seen by snorkeling in the warm shallow waters along the coast. You will dwell in a grand stone manor house, situated in a 400 acre private agricultural estate, eating organic vegetables and fruits, strolling through its vast orchards, vineyards, forest paths, and mountain perches, where you will hear the distant ring of nomadic goatherds, smell the wild herbs that are crushed under your feet, see any number of wild-flowers bursting from the primeval landscape, and be seen only by the hawks that like Icarus, fly close to the sun. At night, you will see more stars than you ever thought existed; you will sleep the dream-healing slumber of the gods whose spirit still dwells in these ancient hills. Your body, your mind and your soul will find the sanctuary they crave in this special place.
Into these days of gentle calming and daily movement practices will be sprinkled small adventures to nearby islands, whose fishing villages offer not only the atmosphere of a by-gone time, but whose spirited hospitality, and rustic Mediterranean cuisine will charm you to your core.
Through a guided journey into nature, and the nature of your own being, by the end of your stay, you will know yourself more deeply, appreciate yourself more fully, and understand that all time is for you.
