Does your soul crave rest, renewal, and the joy of shared experience? Are you longing for a journey that blends self-discovery, community, and adventure?
Our journey carries us into the magical island of Crete. For five nights and six days, we'll stay at the beautiful Armonia Retreat Center, where luxury meets tranquility. Nourish yourself with gourmet vegetarian meals, daily yoga and meditation, and practices that bring you back to your center. Together, we’ll share sacred space through reflections, while celebrating life through movement, laughter, and fellowship.
We’ll express our creativity in a painting class, soak in the turquoise waters of Falasarna Beach, and explore the charming streets and shops of Chania’s Old Venetian Harbor. We’ll dine by the sea, sail into the horizon on a sunset cruise, and enjoy experiences like a therapeutic sauna, a soul-stirring sound journey, an artisan cooking class, and an immersive workshop — all designed to awaken harmony and belonging.
This retreat is your invitation to rest deeply, reconnect with yourself, and return home renewed.

Painting Class, Lighthouse of Chania, Local Explorations,
Old Venetian Harbor Dinner + Sunset Cruise
Set out on a captivating journey through the heart of Chania. Begin with a painting session, letting your creativity flow while inspired by the city’s vibrant energy — and take your finished masterpiece home as a keepsake. Then visit the iconic lighthouse, taking in stunning coastal views, and explore the charming streets and hidden corners of the city at your own pace.
In the evening, savor a delicious dinner at the historic Old Venetian Harbor before setting sail on a magical sunset cruise, watching the horizon light up in brilliant colors. This day blends art, history, culture, and breathtaking scenery for an unforgettable experience.
Considered one of Crete’s most stunning coastlines, Falasarna Beach is known for its golden sand, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and wide-open horizon. Here you’ll have time to relax under the sun, swim in the refreshing sea, or stroll along the expansive shoreline. Falasarna offers the perfect balance of beauty and serenity for a half-day escape.
Half-Day Excursion: Falasarna Beach
Yoga, Meditation + Journaling
Step into a space of reflection and renewal, where you can find clarity and peace. Through meditation and journaling, you’ll connect with your inner world and gain insight, while yoga and mindful movement awaken and energize your body. This practice nurtures presence, self-discovery, and a deeper connection to your retreat journey.
Reflection Circles + Dance Parties
Connect, share, and be seen in reflection circles designed to deepen self-awareness and foster authentic connection. Then let go, move freely, and celebrate life in our joyful 5-10 minute dance parties, where expression meets liberation.
