exploration within and around

Surya: the Sun and the deity of solar energy connects us to the vibrancy of life, vitality, will power and empowers us to purify anything that does not serve our highest self, to remember that when we shine our light brightly into the world we give others permission to do the same. 

Soma: the Moon, lunar energy, is connected to the water element and is cooling, nurturing and nourishing in nature. It is known as the nectar of life that rejuvenates and restores our body, mind and spirit. Soma is thought to feed not only the cells and DNA of the body, but also the mind and consciousness.

Our time on Amorgos will include experiences and practices that create a balance of these solar and lunar energies to help us awaken to the wisdom of our true nature and radiant spirit. Individuals this retreat is designed for are:

Adventurous - being surrounded by a different culture and willing to push their comfort zones

Lovers of Yoga - with multiple styles of daily classes and continuing education opportunities for yoga teachers

Social - developing relationships with likeminded individuals

Allow the sun to inspire and the sea to carry you while we explore new boundaries and possibilities within ourselves.

aegialis hotel & SPA
