🌿 Seminar Schedule – Relaxed, Lively, and a Little Different Every Day
Our days follow a soothing basic structure—while still leaving enough flexibility to adapt to the group, the weather, and the mood.
In the morning, we start the day together, usually from 8:00–9:00 a.m. or until 9:30 a.m.
You can look forward to a cheerful mix of breathing exercises, laughter yoga, gentle movement, or Yoga Nidra—a relaxed start full of lightness.
Afterward, we enjoy a leisurely breakfast in the garden.
From about 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., we focus on the next activities:
laughter exercises, mindfulness, happiness prompts, and short creative sessions—sometimes active, sometimes still.
After the long break, we go with the flow:
Sometimes we’re drawn to the sea, sometimes to the Molyvos region, sometimes we stay in the island garden under the trees.
We combine movement, laughter, nature, and small exercises—completely freely and in the rhythm of the day.
A free afternoon is also planned, so there’s plenty of time for swimming, resting, massages, or short excursions.
For our group day trip, we set out after breakfast and spend several hours on the road—always mindful, always lighthearted, always with an eye for beauty.
In short:
Every day looks a little different—and that’s exactly what makes this week so refreshing.
Everything is allowed, nothing is required.
✈️ Tip for booking your flight & destination airport
To make your trip as stress-free as possible, here’s the most important information:
Destination airport:
👉 Mytilene (MJT) on the island of Lesbos
Most participants fly
via Athens or Thessaloniki
and transfer there to a short domestic flight to Mytilene.
It sounds more complicated than it is—the connections are good, the transfers are clearly signposted, and the airlines are experienced.
If you’d like, I’d be happy to help you choose the right connection.
Practical tip:
It’s worth booking flights early.
Prices are usually between €300–400 when booked early, slightly higher in the summer.
For first-time flyers or those who are unsure:
If you’d like assistance, you can book through a travel agency—they’ll take care of everything for you (including seat assignments and rebooking protection).
✈️ Transfer – travel together for a better price
The transfer from Mytilene Airport to the seminar house is organized directly by Milelia-Inselgarten.
Depending on flight schedules, we can arrange shared transfers so that the taxi cost (€80.00) is split among several people.
All you need to do is provide your arrival time—I’ll coordinate the rest.

To ensure your booking is secure for both parties and so we can plan with peace of mind, here is a brief and clear summary of the most important points:
💛 Payment / Deposit
• A deposit of 50% of the retreat price is due upon registration.
• The remaining balance must be transferred 45 days before the retreat begins.
• Once your deposit has been received, your spot is firmly reserved for you.
🌿 Cancellation
Of course, unexpected things can always happen.
That’s why the following, fair-as-possible rules apply:
• Up to 45 days before the retreat begins:
Cancellation fee €122.50 (for reservation & organization)
• 45 to 15 days before the retreat begins:
50% of the retreat fee

💛 Important and very reassuring:
If you find someone to take your place,
the cancellation fees are waived entirely.
(The new person simply takes over your booking.)
🌞 Recommendation
To cover all eventualities, we recommend travel cancellation insurance so that you are protected in case of unforeseen circumstances.
🌺 If the retreat must be canceled
Should I have to cancel the retreat for important reasons (e.g., illness), you will receive a full refund of all amounts already paid.
Unfortunately, I cannot cover additional costs (e.g., flights, accommodation)—which is why travel cancellation insurance is a good idea.
