This retreat takes place from June 12-18, 2025. &nbsp;Plan on arriving at the property before 5pm on June 12th, and leaving after yoga &amp; breakfast on June 18th. When you arrive at the port, a Greek person who doesn't speak English will pick you up and will likely be over-caffeinated. maybe even in a cute Jeep! Each day is balanced between group activities, and plenty of free time to do as you wish. Everything is optional: you can get into as much or as little as you want. Below is a schedule just to give you a general idea (it tends to vary once we actually get going). Whether you want to embrace your introvert, or hang out with new friends - there will be plenty of opportunity for both.

Daily Schedule

Our annual Greek Island retreat with Krissy Jones (founder of <a href="https://www.skyting.com/">Sky Ting Yoga</a>), Anton Brandt (Fig Founder). Space is limited to 20 students.&nbsp;For many of us, our day-to-day reality is a demanding job + daily social obligations. &nbsp;Tech that was designed to simplify our lives&nbsp;has in some ways made our lives more complicated. Our culture tells us&nbsp;that being 'busy' is a good thing… it means we're in demand + successful. &nbsp;Whether we see this busy-ness as self-imposed or not, it’s hard to align ourselves with the person we want to be.When was the last time you felt&nbsp;fully recharged? &nbsp;When was the last time you had the space to dedicate to the things that you truly find important? This retreat is designed to re-align &amp; re-calibrate. &nbsp;To step away from our day-to-day dramas, and get a greater perspective on ourselves, our goals, our desires, &amp; our friendships. We've thoughtfully curated the entire week for you.&nbsp;At this Greek Island retreat - expect afternoon naps on the stone terraces, and sunset swims in the Aegean. Expect gorgeous meals prepared by our favorite chef, and world-class yoga asana. Expect to create new bonds, share surprising conversations &amp; laughter... and still find plenty of time for self-reflection.

Koufounisi is the Greek Island you've been dreaming of. It's teeny tiny, you can walk from one side to the other, with the scent of wild figs along the way. The Aegean sea is met rugged, sun-drenched outcrops of rock, framing hidden rocky coves, perfect for an afternoon dip. and then of course there's that stunning white-washed Cycladic architecture.&nbsp;Set in the Aegean Sea, the Cyclades are a group of the most well-known Greek Islands (including Mykonos and Santorini) and they're well-known for a reason. Pristine water, stunning architecture, fabulous food, and of course that unparalleled Greek lifestyle. But those more famous islands, like Santorini, have evolved into cruise-liner destinations and Instagram-versions of themselves.Koufonisi is a secret of the Cyclades, a sanctuary. There's no airport on the island, and the most fun way to get from one side of the island to another is to hop on a colorful local ferry/taxi boat, playing traditional Greek music… it's a thing! Here it's all about the slow tempo of the Mediterranean lifestyle: hidden beaches, and long lunches at seaside family-run tavernas.We've booked out three different neighboring villas, situated in a tranquil spot on the northeast side of the island, 7 minutes walk from Pori, on of the most beautiful beaches in the Aegean.&nbsp;

We've booked out a handful of sea-view villas, all which surround a magical outdoor, shaded yoga shala. It's located in a tranquil spot on the northeast side of Koufonisi island, 7 minutes walk from Pori Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in the Aegean. The nice thing about having the different villas is that there are more luxury options and also some budget friendly options. Everyone is welcome!τα δωμάτια. (The Rooms) Each room is unique, with it's own charm. &nbsp;Some bedrooms have one large bed, and some have two twin beds. &nbsp;Some rooms have private, en-suite baths, while other rooms share a bathroom. Some rooms have a sea view, while others are darker and cooler, located in the basement. Rates vary depending on your needs. Please keep in mind this is not a resort - it's a private villa, with a private chef. If you are looking for a luxury resort with staff, and waiters, and turn-down service, this is simply not the retreat for you. &nbsp;If you appreciate understated beauty, barefoot adventures, then this IS for you! &nbsp;το φαγητό. (The Food) We are flying in our favorite chef for this retreat. For breakfast, expect eggs, local cheeses, homemade jams, homemade granola, of course local yogurt, fresh brewed coffee, and local melons. For lunch, you're on your own! &nbsp;Most people like to pop into a local beach taverna (at your own expense). We specifically planned for lunches out, that way you can enjoy the charm of the family run tavernas and experience Greek culture through their cuisine and hospitality. There is one taverna just down the road from us, on the sea, that has the most phenomenal tomato salad you've ever had. For dinner, our chef will work with what is locally available to create a feast for us! &nbsp;Local Greek wine is included. &nbsp;The menu items listed above are just to give you an idea! &nbsp;We'll provide fruits, water, coffee and wine. &nbsp;If you would like an early morning coffee before meditation, you'll be able to make your own in your own house. &nbsp;After morning asana, our chef will prepare coffee along with breakfast for everyone to enjoy. &nbsp;How To Arrive. You have a few options! Fly into Naxos, Mykonos or Santorini from Athens or other major cities in Europe. From there, take the ferry to Koufonisi. The boat from Naxos to Koufonisi takes 45 minutes, the boats from Mykonos and Santorini to Koufonisi take 90 minutes. . The boat from Athens Pireaus Port to Koufonisi takes 5 hours. Check ferry schedules at ferryhopper.com. All you need to do is plan your booking to arrive at Koufonisi, then we will pick you up from the port and take you to our villa.&nbsp;Activities. Our property is 7 minutes on foot from the sea. It's early summer, so we're expecting sunshine during the day, with cooler evenings. There's a sandy beach, a nudist area, a cliff-jumping spot… something for everyone! During the day, little boats serve as water taxis and can take you to other parts of the island. If the weather is good, we'll also hop on a boat one day!&nbsp;What's Not Included? Lunch, massage &amp; boats.
