8 Days Yoga and Family Constellations, meditation and sound healing, residential retreat

MEDITERRANEAN RETREATS CENTER
The building, which has now been completely converted into a centre for yoga and the study of energy and healing
practices, was originally a traditional Greek tavern and small hotel. The property, which overlooks the Gulf of Kalloni
(the sea is just a few metres from the house), is completely isolated and surrounded by exceptionally beautiful natural
surroundings. This area is a paradise for birdwatchers who come to the island, especially in the spring months, from all
over the world to admire pink flamingos, black and white storks, peregrine falcons and many other migratory birds of
rare beauty. The gulf is an important breeding ground for many fish species, making this stretch of sea teeming with
life. Its location, the natural setting in which it is found, the peace, silence and power of the elements make this place
ideal for immersing oneself totally in the study and practice of various disciplines, leaving behind all the physical and
emotional burdens that normally crowd our lives.

All meals are carefully prepared by our staff directly in the large kitchen available at the center. The raw materials and ingredients, all locally produced, are of the highest quality because they are grown in a healthy, unpolluted environment on nutrient-rich lava soil. Meals include breakfast, lunch and dinner. Plenty of fruit from our garden, herbal teas, water and various beverages are available throughout the day. Meals are vegetarian/vegan based with a strong middle eastern flavour.

HOW TO GET THERE
Lesvos is located in the archipelago of islands in the northeastern Aegean and is the largest of the group in size. Because of its importance, it has very easy connections to Athens, where there are several internal flights every day throughout the year. If you want to save money, there are good connections by ship, always every day of the year. Ships also stop in Chios and often go as far north as Thessaloniki. From some European countries you can fly directly to Lesvos, which has a small but modern international airport. If you cannot find a direct flight to Mytilene, fly to Athens and from there take another flight to the island.
