ANÁSA
Women’s Movement & Meditation Retreat
For women who feel stretched thin, disconnected from themselves, or ready for a meaningful reset.
Peloponnese, Greece
Sept 20-28, 2026
A spacious pause between who you have been… and who you are ready to step into.
A sanctuary to breathe, soften, remember, and return to the wisdom of your body, the clarity of your heart, and the truth of your own becoming.
Anása — ἀνάσα — means breath.
In Greek, πάρε μια ανάσα means “take a breath.”
This retreat is that breath.
A sacred exhale.
A soft landing.
A return to what is real, alive, and true within you.
ANÁSA is an intimate women’s retreat created as a space to slow down, reconnect with your body, restore your inner rhythm, and remember the parts of yourself that are ready to be seen, felt, expressed, and lived more fully.
Here, you are invited to come as you are.
This retreat invites you into a powerful remembering and a sacred return to the true essence, beauty, and wisdom that is you.
Surrounded by nature, sea views, nourishing meals, and a small circle of women, each day will offer space for movement, yoga, breath, meditation, dance, rest, exploration, honest conversation, laughter, stillness, and integration.
Together, we will create a warm and grounded container where connection can unfold naturally, where your body can soften, your heart can open, and your spirit can feel free to breathe again.
This is a space for beauty, depth, sisterhood, restoration, and a more honest, loving relationship with yourself.
ANÁSA is intentionally intimate and limited to 8 women.
We choose depth over numbers, presence over performance, and meaningful connection over crowds.
Our intention for this retreat is to guide you on a journey of self-discovery, harnessing the magic of nature and the power of the elements. Be held in a safe, friendly, and joyful environment where we share our stories, explore new horizons, and support one another!
In this sacred space you will have the opportunity to align your spirit, body, intellect, and express yourself in a myriad of ways! Dive deep, peel back the layers, reveal your true nature and personal magic… shining brightly for the world to see!
Join us to let your spirit soar as you uncover the beauty within you.
Your ANÁSA experience:
Awaken each morning to expansive sea views, fresh air, and the invitation to begin again.
Slowly, intentionally, with breath. Throughout the week, you’ll be held in a supportive circle of women where laughter, tears, silence, and expression are all welcome. This is a space to exhale expectations and inhale the truth of YOU.

Accommodations
We will be staying in a gorgeous retreat center & spa located in the western Peloponnese, in the Bay of Kyparissia, the longest beach in the Mediterranean, where the mountains rise amongst olive groves & lush forest in an area renowned for its outstanding natural beauty, which is protected by the world heritage society.
A Sanctuary By the Sea
Nestled between the olive-draped hills and the endless blue of the Ionian Sea, Natura Club welcomes our retreat guests into a haven of serenity and connection.
Built gracefully on the hillside, just 700 meters from the sea, this family-run eco-hotel overlooks the Bay of Kyparissia… home to the longest beach in the Mediterranean and sunsets that paint the horizon in gold and rose.
Each spacious room opens to a sea view, inviting you to wake up with the sound of waves and breathe in the stillness of nature. The décor blends warm earth tones with natural light, creating a sense of comfort and soulful simplicity.
Guests may choose between single or double occupancy, each stay including a delightful breakfast served on the veranda, where the morning sun kisses the olive trees and the sea shimmers below.
After a day of yoga, meditation, and movement, you can immerse yourself in the hotel’s soothing spa… unwind in the steam room, soak in the jacuzzi under a gentle blue glow, or simply rest by the infinity pool as the sky melts into the horizon.
Here, time slows down. Nature holds you.
This is a place to unwind, rejoice, and rejuvenate… body, mind, and spirit.
