ANÁSA
Women’s Movement & Meditation Retreat
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 reset, renew, rest, reconnect, remember and ignite your truest expression.
Anása (ἀνάσα) — Breath.
The softening. The opening. The sacred inhale that brings you home to yourself.
In Greek, “πάρε μια ανάσα” means “take a breath” — a gentle reminder to pause, reset, and return to presence.
This retreat is that breath.
Imagine beginning each day surrounded by nature and sea views, sharing laughter with a circle of women who feel like sisters. Exploring the land with curiosity, allowing your inner child to play, to soften, to feel awe again. Savoring nourishing, lovingly prepared meals that feed not only your body, but your heart.
Feel the relief as you exhale the heaviness you’ve been carrying and reconnect with the vibrant magic within you. This is a journey back to joy, to aliveness, to the version of you that breathes fully and lives deeply.
Together, we will practice yoga, breathe deeply, dance our joy, meditate, rest, explore, and remember who we are. You will be held in a warm, joyful, supportive space where stories are shared, walls come down, and true connection can flourish.
Here, you are invited to align body, heart, mind, and spirit… to express, to release, to re-discover your inner wisdom and your personal magic.
Come dive deep, peel back the layers, and let your spirit soar as you reclaim the beauty of who you are.Think of the laughter shared with your dear sisters as you explore the wonders of nature, allowing your inner child to delight in the beauty surrounding you. Each day becomes a new adventure, filling your heart with awe and reminding you of the magic life has to offer.
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.
A breathtaking and majestic mountainous region, this land boldly stretches southward into the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea, calling out to the wanderlust in your heart.
Every corner of Peloponnese offers a moment to pause and reflect, enticing you to unveil its myriad hidden treasures. Imagine wandering through renowned archaeological sites that serve as portals to ancient civilizations—each stone, each relic a whisper of the past, echoing the lives of those who walked these lands long ago. The remnants of grand temples and age-old theaters stand proudly, inviting you to immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of history woven into the very soil. Charming seaside towns, with their narrow cobblestone streets and vibrant markets, spark delight at every turn.
Picture yourself strolling through bustling local bazaars, where the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked bread and savory grilled seafood dances through the air, mingling with the laughter of welcoming locals eager to share their culture. Take a moment to savor local delicacies, each bite telling the story of generations, rich in flavor and tradition.
The stunning beaches, with their soft golden sands and azure waters, beckon you to bask in the warmth of the sun as gentle waves cradle the shore. Here, you can let go of your worries and simply exist in the beauty of your surroundings. It's a place to reflect—either alone or with loved ones—finding solace in the rhythmic harmony between land and sea. As you gaze westward, the tranquil Ionian Sea offers an embrace that soothes the soul, inviting you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself. To the east, the adventurous Aegean Sea challenges you to seek new experiences, its azure expanse a canvas for exhilaration and discovery.
This magnificent landscape, characterized by towering limestone mountains that reach for the sky, showcases nature's artistry. The narrow coastal plains unfurl like ribbons of beauty, guiding you toward unforgettable vistas. Natural rocky harbors cradle small fishing boats and the dreams of explorers weary from their journeys yet hungry for more.
Each day spent in Peloponnese is an invitation to dive deeper into its enchanting essence. As we embark on journeys through this mesmerizing peninsula, allow its breathtaking scenery and rich culture to envelop you. Whether it’s the thrill of climbing to a castle's summit for a panoramic view or finding stillness in a hidden cove, let the magic of this land resonate within you, igniting your spirit and inspiring your path. Embrace these moments, knowing that the warmth of this place will stay with you, guiding you through the tapestry of life, wherever your adventures may take 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.
