Destination Greece Retreat
Destination Greece Retreat
Kythera, Greece: September 14-21, 2024
Escape to the enchanting island of Kythera, Greece, where the ancient myths of the goddess Aphrodite come to life amidst the turquoise waters and golden sands. Join us for a transformative women’s goddess retreat, where we delve into the myriad ways goddesses empower women throughout their life journeys.
In Greek mythology, Kythera was revered as the birthplace of the celestial Aphrodite, the embodiment of love and beauty, born from the foam of the sea near its shores. The island’s architecture, a harmonious blend of traditional Aegean and Venetian influences, whispers tales of centuries of cultural coexistence.
Our serene accommodations provide a haven amidst nature’s embrace, allowing you to awaken to the symphony of the island’s landscapes. Step into a space where healing, growth, and self- love converge, empowering you to embrace your wholeness and true essence.
The Purpose of a Wholeness destination healing retreat is for you to find healing, growth, expansion, and self-love – to transform.
