Golden Light, Turning Tides: A Greek Island Retreat with Sara Hess

Spend 6 nights & 7 days with Sara Hess on the beautiful island of Lefkada, Greece. This seven-day retreat invites you into a rhythm of presence and pleasure. Mornings begin with invigorating movement and grounding breath, followed by nourishing meals and spacious afternoons to rest, roam, or simply be. Evenings wind down with gentle practices such as yoga nidra and restorative movements, quiet reflection, and the soft autumn glow of the setting sun. Included in your retreat experience: a one-hour massage, a traditional wooden boat trip to swim and visit various sites around the island and a trip to a local beach with turquoise water not to be missed.

Our home for the week is Mimosa Retreat. This stunning private retreat venue sits high on top of a hillside with unobstructed views of the water and surrounding area. Family owned and run, this incredible property took 7 years to build and is constructed with Balinese style architecture. It's just a 15 minute walk down to local beaches and the town of Nidri. The property includes 5 separate villas, each with two large en-suite rooms and a living room/tea area. The open air yoga shala and swimming pool look out over the water. This Luxurious estate is ours to enjoy for the week.

Getting there is easy. Fly into Athens and we will set up a private group transport to the island at an additional cost (you can drive there since the island has a bridge). Plan to arrive to Athens airport for an 11am pick up on arrival day and do not book a departure flight before 4pm on the last day. For most Americans the easiest flight route is to Athens. It's also possible to fly into a closer airport just 40 minutes away (Preveza) and take a taxi to the retreat venue.
