A Somatic Retreat
on Evia — Greece's hidden island in the Aegean
Everything about this retreat is intentionally curated, while remaining responsive to the pace of the group.
This retreat is less about getting away and more about practicing a way of living that supports regulation, presence, and embodied clarity. The days are designed to help your nervous system settle, reconnect you to your body, gently bring awareness to the patterns you live within, and support changes that last beyond the retreat — so you can live from your body rather than around it.

We'll be based in Kirinthos, a quiet village on the northeast coast of Evia — Greece's second-largest island, and one of its best-kept secrets. Just a bridge from the mainland, it stays wonderfully uncrowded: pine-forested hills, quiet coves, and a slower rhythm than the postcard islands you already know. History is woven into the core of this place — Bronze Age settlements, ancient Greek naval cities, and ancient ruins on this very coast, layered beneath thousands of years of myth and memory. The setting is quiet and spacious, offering natural conditions for rest, focus, and ease. Without effort, the pace slows — and your body follows.
Kirinthos is a quiet, modern village today — but the name goes back further than almost anywhere else on this coast. As Cerinthus, it's one of the towns Homer names in the Iliad's Catalogue of Ships, standing alongside Chalcis and Eretria nearly 2,800 years ago. We'll be doing our somatic work on ground that carries that kind of history.

What makes WHOLE different is the way the work is held. Practices aren't performed — they're lived. Meals, movement, stillness, conversation, and rest are woven into a single arc of authentic care.
Alexandra leads with trauma-informed attunement — adjusting pace and practices to the group's nervous system rather than a rigid itinerary — so your body can soften and integrate.
The quality of presence guiding the week consistently shapes guests' experience. Alexandra listens closely to the group's nervous system, allowing days to move with both structure and spaciousness. Moments of beauty, emotion, or connection are met rather than rushed — creating a sense of safety, ease, and coherence that guests often describe as the most transformative part of the retreat.
"A rare blend of warmth, wisdom, and authenticity — I felt genuinely met throughout the retreat."
— Retreat guest



The experiences you move through are informed by neurophysiology, interpersonal neurobiology, and polyvagal theory. Alexandra integrates principles from Somatic Experiencing®, Compassionate Inquiry®, and Hanna Somatic Education, offering practical ways to release tension, renegotiate adaptive behaviors, and support physical and emotional integration.

This work is also informed by yoga and Ayurvedic living, grounding modern nervous system understanding in rhythms of movement, nourishment, rest, and daily life. Together, these perspectives create a balanced approach that is both precise and human — supporting change that is embodied, sustainable, and lived. Your system begins to shift naturally — out of chronic vigilance and into states associated with safety, clarity, and vitality.
Meals are integral to this experience. Seasonal, organic, anti-inflammatory food supports digestion, metabolic steadiness, and circadian rhythm, helping your system stay grounded and resourced throughout the day. Eating becomes part of the regulation, not a break from it.
By the end of the week, what you carry home isn't a set of techniques, but a felt sense of how to return to safety, process emotion without overwhelm, sleep more deeply, and create spaciousness in daily life.
This is not about self-improvement or optimization.
It is about being met — especially in the places that learned to brace.
"I left transformed—mind and body renewed… a newfound sense of calm and intention."

A restored historic estate set in terraced gardens, with a crystal-clear pool and sweeping mountain and valley views — the sea is a scenic ten-minute drive away. Antique-filled rooms, stained-glass light, and shaded verandas give the whole retreat room to breathe.







In their own words
I came home feeling renewed, well rested, and detoxified, both physically and mentally. The location was absolutely beautiful and provided the perfect setting for the somatic work Alexandra guided us through. Her knowledge, compassion, and genuine care for everyone made the experience exquisite.

Alexandra is a truly special person — someone you don't realize how much you need in your life until you spend time with her. She balanced flexibility with meticulous planning, creating a space where I felt both safe and cared for throughout the journey.
— Paula Brice
She operates like a maestro, conducting the flow of the day with remarkable intuition and empathy. She didn't just follow a schedule — she felt our energy and adjusted with grace, ensuring we had a rich, unhurried experience.
— Clark Fivek
This was the perfect blend of relaxation, expansion, and exploration of the body, soul, and spirit… the fellow participants were diverse in background and experience but all brought a willingness to share and connect — memories I will carry for a lifetime.
— Laura Grippa

Этот ретрит стал для нас настоящей перезагрузкой. Получилось замедлиться, выдохнуть и вернуть контакт с собой.
