Hiking & Yoga Escape, Dikastika (Greece), 9th – 15th October
Treat yourself to a retreat in beautiful nature, with breathtaking views between the sea and the mountains. Go hiking with experienced guides along meandering mountain paths and ancient hidden trails with lots of history and few tourists.
This retreat is located amid the raw, wild beauty of Dikastika, very close to the historic Marathon. Come and experience the true spirit of Greece, the olive trees perched along the cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean sea, the sweet smell of Jasmine and the explosion of colour from the beautiful bougainvilleas that embellish the landscape.

Blue Zone is a term given to geographic regions where people have shown to live longer, and have lower rates of disease than anywhere else.

5-Day Shamanic Kundalini Yoga and Healing Retreat in Portugal, 9th – 13th November
Join Soul Adventures for a 5 day retreat over the 11/11 portal. Some say 11/11/11 was the day the Age Of Aquarius began and that was 11 years ago.
The Safe to Surrender retreat programme delivers the ultimate healing experience with 5-days of deep soul excavation and restoration.
This is where the healing is, this is where the magic is and it is from here that the rest of our lives can begin to flow smoothly.
There will be two Shamanic Kundalini Yoga classes each day, where the therapy is primarily focused on changing how you feel, bringing the parasympathetic nervous system back into alignment, fully expanding the breath, fully occupying the body, soothing the stress and dropping fully and completely into the moment.
You will have one workshop each day where you will delve deeper into the processes and work with shamanic tools that you can take home and continue to flow and grow in a new way, where you can fully embody the role of your own self healer to continue to feel safe in all situations and continue to make yourself well.
When we surrender we truly open the doors to deep healing, we truly connect to the self within the self, to the higher self, to the soul and from surrender, amazing things can happen.
The Food
The food will be organic and locally-sourced where possible to limit food miles and increase nutrient content. There will be a real focus on digestive health and naturopathic principles for maximum healing benefits as we explore the healing vibration of food as medicine. Details & booking.
