In the hustle and bustle of modern life, it's easy to lose sight of our true selves amidst the incessant buzz of social media, work demands, and the never-ending stream of notifications. Are you craving a pause, a moment to rediscover your inner harmony and to disconnect from the digital chaos? Join us for a rejuvenating mindfulness and movement workshop designed to guide you on a transformative journey towards balance, healing, and renewal.
We will learn to unplug from the inner and outer noise of day-to-day living.

Why is unplugging from the world necessary?
When you unplug from the world, you start to notice at first that your inner world is overrun with plans, regrets and storylines. This exhausts the nervous system so step one is to unplug and reduce external stimuli, Step two is practicing to unplug from our own internal voice which is giving commentary and interpretation about every experience. Most of this commentary is unnecessary and at times harmful and distorted. The third step is to plug into something new, unaltered and radiantly beautiful. What exactly are you plugging into? A transcendental field of compassion and pure potential. A place that is free of story making and worry. In the echoes of silence, you plug into your true nature.

What to Expect:

Meditation and Conscious Movement: We will offer guided meditations that are joyful and easy to practice anywhere and everywhere. These ancient techniques will help you reconnect with your body, allowing you to release tension and rediscover your natural flow. Discover the power of mindful movement as we guide you through dynamic movement practices using music and creative exercises that open your body and mind to unlimited potential.

Addressing Burnout: We understand the toll that life and work burnout can take on your well-being. Nishta and Evangelos will share insights, strategies, and practices to help you identify the signs of burnout and find balance, resilience, and joy once again.


Two Days of Silence: In the heart of this transformative experience, we will embark on a journey of self-discovery with two days of group silence. We will enter silence from the 16th-18th. This sacred silence will provide you with the opportunity to go within, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and find clarity in the chaos of life.

Heart-Centered Connection: Explore the depths of your heart and discover the beauty of authentic human connection. Through guided group discussions and activities, you'll forge meaningful bonds with fellow participants, creating a support network that will extend far beyond our time together.

Nature Immersion: Our retreat takes place in a serene natural setting, providing the perfect backdrop for our mindfulness practices. Immerse yourself in the beauty of spring as we connect with the healing power of the outdoors.

Digital Detox: During this workshop, we'll provide you with practical tools to reduce your digital footprint. Learn to navigate the digital world mindfully and create healthy boundaries with technology to regain control over your life.
What are the practicalities of a digital detox in this retreat?
To build new neuronal pathways towards spiritual freedom and to sit in one’s beingness (rather than the habit of always “doing” something), one must give up a few technological addictions that currently define modern living. You will be expected to stay offline, hand in your phone for a period of time, stay away from social media, refrain from taking photos while the retreat is in full swing, give up reading (because this keeps your mind busy), no movie watching and generally staying off your computer. We have yet to meet someone that did not fully enjoy the experience of sincerely unplugging. This retreat is focused on healing an overly strained nervous system and allowing ourselves to settle into a relaxed state of peaceful presence. **This retreat is not recommended for participants who have many business meetings or wish to stay in regular contact with family and friends.

Takeaway Skills: Leave this retreat equipped with a toolbox of mindfulness practices, digital detox strategies, and burnout prevention techniques that you can integrate into your daily life.

Join us on this rejuvenating journey of self-discovery, connection, and renewal. Reclaim your life, recenter your spirit, and rediscover the profound beauty of the present moment. This is your time to reset and restore your body, mind, and heart.

Reserve your spot now and embrace the opportunity to unplug, for in the silence and stillness, you'll find the wisdom and strength to flourish in this unpredictable and quickly paced world.

We look forward to meeting you in person and embarking on a powerful journey into wholeness, health and clarity.
