Back To Life
Come home to yourself in the healing embrace of Crete
Bespoke Retreats for individuals, Couples & Small Groups
We offer bespoke solo, couple, and small group retreats for those in a time of transition — people who have outgrown old ways of living, relating, or surviving, and are ready to create a life that feels more truthful, more alive.
You may have already let go of much — roles, identities, relationships — but your outer life hasn’t quite caught up with your inner change. In this space in-between, it’s easy to feel unmirrored, uncertain, or alone.
Each retreat is a space to pause, reconnect, and listen — not to force clarity, but to allow it to arise from your own body, your own rhythm, and your own knowing. It is a time to be held, to rest, and to remember what truly matters to you now.
Join us in the serene countryside of Apokoronas, Crete, where forest, sea, and ancient land offer their healing presence. Through guided practices, honest conversation, private sessions, and nature immersion, you’ll begin to feel resourced, grounded, and ready to walk forward from a place of inner truth.
Who Is It For
This retreat is for you if:
• You feel you’ve let go of an old life or identity — but the new hasn’t fully taken form yet
• You long to feel mirrored and supported in this threshold phase
• You seek clarity and courage to live in alignment with who you are now becoming
• You crave genuine rest, reconnection, and a sense of home within yourself
• You’re ready to reconnect to your own inner voice and trust it as your compass
• You want to create a life that is truthful, relational, creative — and rooted in presence
What you will receive
► Exclusive space for restoration and connection
You’ll be welcomed into our life, supported to fully relax and be yourself. The space we hold is warm, personal, and real.
► Private, tailored sessions
Including movement meditation, guided time in nature, conscious communication, creative expression, body-based awareness practices, and more — all tailored to what you most need.
► Immersive nature experiences
We guide you to nearby beaches, rivers, gorges, waterfalls, lakes, and caves. These sacred places naturally support sensory awakening, grounding, and inspiration.
► Personalised ceremonies
Mark transitions or intentions with a co-created ceremony that aligns with your next chapter — gentle, meaningful, and guided with care.
► Connection with your own inner guidance
We help you cultivate practices that strengthen your intuitive clarity and give you confidence to move forward in life.
► Communication skills for authentic relationships
Learn simple but powerful tools to foster empathy, listening, and truth-telling in your relationships — with partners, children, friends, or colleagues.
► Nourishing meals
Fresh, seasonal, and thoughtfully prepared, each meal is tailored to your needs using local and (where possible) organic ingredients. Nourishment on all levels.
► Peaceful accommodation
Stay in a cosy apartment in the picturesque village of Douliana. Your private ensuite room offers tranquility, comfort, and direct access to walking paths and nature.
After your retreat with us you should expect
• Feel calmer, clearer, and more grounded — like you’ve come home to yourself
• Reconnect with a deeper sense of purpose, joy, and creativity
• Begin to see the outlines of the life that truly reflects who you are becoming
• Feel encouraged and resourced to take courageous next steps, even if the exact path is still unfolding
• Strengthen your connection with your inner guidance — learning to trust your own knowing, even when the world around you hasn’t yet caught up
• Leave with practices and tools to help you stay aligned with your truth — and cultivate meaningful relationships that mirror and support that
This retreat is not about giving you answers — it’s about helping you remember the part of you that already knows, and offering you the space and support to move forward in your own rhythm, from the inside out.

What Others Are Saying
“I have been going through a tough breakup for 5 months that made me feel depressed, anxious and lacking in self esteem. I have been seeing a psychotherapist and also trying some alternative treatments. All these options have been slowly helpful in one way or another.
The solo retreat with Daphne was a new experience for me and was indeed helpful. Daphne is skilful and was able to provide the necessary tools, methods and support in order for me to feel more confident and clear in the moment and also moving forward. I realised from the second day a tremendous improvement as I started eating well, being able to have a conversation and my anxiety level went down. By the end of the retreat I was able to laugh which I hadn’t done since the breakup.
The area where Daphne and her colleagues operate is one of the greatest places in Crete. It is full of beautiful nature that has a healing effect. I will never forget how kind and naturally generous Daphne and all her collaborators have been to me; like the surrounding nature, everyone gives in their own unique way without expectation. I felt a sense of harmony in the place and in the relationships between them. The minute I stepped in here I felt I can be myself. This is not easily found in other places.
I come away with a pathway for learning how to not control my relationships and to develop a healthier relationship with myself. I am also taking with me the nature – the hiking we did, the sea, the waterfall and the idea that there is a different life than the life I have been experiencing so far. I hope that all I am taking with me will come together to form something new which is a great gift.”
