MIDLIFE RETREAT

We offer a retreat for midlifers who are asking themselves, “What am I going to do for the rest of my life?”

The Greeks built the world’s first-ever health sanctuary here 2,300 years ago, because Epidavros has the best produce and the best community, and people have been travelling here for thousands of years for that and to learn from the teachers, guides and producers who are based here.

This was the world’s first ever ‘Blue Zone’. A place rich in nature, healthy living, community and the smells of local produce.

You can join those who’ve come before, on your own journey. This is your stop-off in authentic, ancient Greece - a world removed from modern stresses that affect us all.

Let us know what you want to get out of a week here and we will help you achieve it…whether it is simply a complete break, sampling the best of Greek food and hospitality or help to decide what you want to do, once you return home, physically refreshed, and mentally inspired by a break, where just life itself feels rich.

We welcome guests in the Spring and Autumn months, when most tourists are at home but the sun is out, meaning we always hope to enjoy great weather and quiet conditions.

You can pre-book your favourite activity: be that Yoga, Mindfulness, Painting, sculpting, or a dream retreat - some of the world’s foremost practitioners run their retreats here. Plus, visit local producers of Olive oil, honey, wine, oranges, aloe vera, and herbs.

Epidavros breaks down the walls which lock the spirit in.

The landscape does not recede, it installs itself in the open places of the heart, it crowds in, accumulates, dispossesses. You are no longer travelling through something — call it Nature, if you will — but participating in a rout, a rout of the forces of greed, malevolence, envy, selfishness, spite, intolerance, pride, arrogance, cunning, duplicity and so on.
