Opening thus your energy centers for the free flow of this healing energy! The Universe is Energy, Vibration and Frequency!
Holistic Healing
A customized threefold holistic healing retreat program from a team of holistic psychotherapists, physiotherapists, nutritionists and guides, created around your specific health condition, and your mental, psychological and spiritual needs. A heavenly combination of purifying treatments, massages, and consultations from qualified, experienced physiotherapists. Along with the physical treatment, Yoga philosophy and practice, Pranayama, Meditation, Yoga Nidra relaxation, Chanting and Sound Healing meditation will empower, uplift and refine your consciousness to deepen and enlighten this healing journey.
HEALING JOURNEY
As our retreats start we will shift the energy to our spiritual community in the village of Tsagarada, a few kilometers away from Mylopotamos Beach, where we carry on our holistic healing retreats. Allowing you to immerse yourself in the deep healing nature of the luscious forests of Pelion and of the sacred Aegean Sea waters. On our way to honour the ancient Greek lands through Ancient Greek and Eastern wisdom and practices we will facilitate further evolution by bringing in plant medicinal healing, modern scientific discoveries and latest wisdom on vibrational frequency.
It is a requirement of this year’s planetary energies to deactivate our old earthly patterns and activate our new spatial wings as children of the Cosmos! Aligning ourselves with the wisdom and power of Nature and the spatial, cosmic, fiery energies of the Future.
Through our experience we have identified three key aspects that can directly, effectively and positively impact our global culture:
1) CONSCIOUSNESS TRANSFORMATION
Integrated ancestral wisdom mirrors life itself. Our teachers provide
a supportive environment where people can voluntarily immerse themselves safely in a guided, evolutionary process of self-growth and self-realisation.
The tools and rites of passage cultivated within this sacred space allow our guests to resolve cultural conditioning and unveil their true self, their unique qualities, talents and skills.
2) NATURAL HEALING/ DISEASE PREVENTION:
Through herbal medicinal practices, natural healing modalities and energy work from around the world, we address sickness and disease on a variety of levels, from physical to psycho-spiritual.
By experience, this approach to healing illnesses targets the root of the dysfunctional conditions and eliminates them at their source rather than merely address symptoms. Today, more than any other time in history, the world needs viable models for this kind of holistic healing.
3) STEWARDSHIP AND ECO-REGENERATIVE LIVING
Our Retreats are fully committed to the preservation of natural resources and the restoration of degraded landscapes, as well as to promote permaculture and natural farming techniques that create vibrant and local food economies.
