CONSCIOUS LIVING RETREATS

Leading With Purpose & Presence

September 7 - 13, 2025, Koroni, Messinia, Peloponnese

GREECE

‘KNOW THYSELF’

Conscious leadership begins with one key premise: ‘Know Thyself’.

These words were carved into the entrance at the Temple of Apollo, the site of the Pythea (high priestess); the Oracle of Delphi. The words were an invitation to take the time to know one’s soul, in other words, the truth of who we are.

It is from this starting point of knowing ourselves, that we will explore what it means to lead with vision, with purpose and with presence. By doing so, we not only empower ourselves to live a life of authenticity, but we bring all those who are near us along on the journey.

Conscious leadership principles and attributes are life attributes - they are simple, practical tools that enable us to live and lead with conscious awareness, with mindfulness and with love at our core.

Join us for this deep immersion into what conscious leadership means through the lens of purpose, presence and getting to know our souls.

WELCOME TO THE LAND OF SACRED MYSTERIES

What location could be better placed to enable us to go further into the truth of who we really are and what we are a stand for, than the cradle of wisdom, philosophy, spirituality and sacred rituals, Greece.

Embrace your inner Goddess on the land of the Gods and Goddesses, where the mysteries of antiquity continue to be revered today. Learn what it means to be in the present moment as you live a life of purpose. Embody the sacred rites and traditions that women in Greece embraced and continue to embrace through to the present day, through the gateways to the soul: meditation, mindfulness, music, movement and a connection to the wisdom of the land and those who enabled the awakening of consciousness.

Pre-Retreat Pilgrimage

We begin our retreat following in the footsteps of those who walked the same streets thousands of years before us.

We will commence with a pilgrimage through the wonderful city of Athens, which was dedicated to the Goddess Athena. We will then embark on a journey to the ancient city of Delphi, visiting the site of the Oracle and High Priestess, honouring the God Apollo.

Our journey will be a foray into the Timelessness of higher consciousness, the divine feminine and the sacred Goddess energies. This right of passage will prepare us for the deep inner work that will take place at our Retreat Centre, located on a powerful energy vortex, in the Peloponnese.

*Whilst these pre-retreat experiences are optional add-ons, we highly recommend you attend to deepen your journey.

Athens, Thursday 4 September 2025

Join us for a magical day as we take to the streets of Athens, exploring this magnificent ancient city dedicated to the Goddess Athena. Walk through the paved streets, as we visit the ancient Agora, the Temple of Hephaestus, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Theatre of Dionysus, culminating at the Acropolis of Athens.

As we walk the streets, we will tap into the sacred divine energies that imbue the city, walking with the Goddess Athena and embracing the transformative wisdom and grace that the Goddess possesses.

Delphi, Friday 5 September 2025

Our private bus will depart Athens taking us to the magnificent city of Delphi, nestled deep in Mount Parnassus, between the towering rocks of the Phaidriades Rocks (the ‘shining’ rocks). Delphi is considered the naval of the world, and was revered in ancient times as the sacred site belonging to Gaia, guarded and protected.

The Oracle of Delphi, the Pythia, was a High Priestess who channeled the God Apollo and was consulted by pilgrims from all over the world.

Our Retreat Centre:

‘Marema’, Koroni, Peloponnese, Greece

Located just 100 metres from the crystal clear Mediterranean sea, and a short 45 minute drive from Kalamata airport in the Peloponnese, Greece

  • Gabby Grekul

    YOGA INSTRUCTOR

    Gabby embarked on her yoga journey over 10 years ago, instantly developing a love and curiosity for the practice. She discovered a quiet peace within that only came from her time on the mat. The curiosity only deepened as the magic rippled into other areas of her life and an inner knowing grew, that this was the path she needed to follow.

    Taking her first 200 hr YTT in 2020 online over the lockdown, the knowledge she gained fed the hunger but the transition to teaching in person was a big leap from the online world! So she dove into another training, in person this time, taking the 300 hr YTT at Prana Yoga. During that time she also completed 50 hrs of Yin training with Amanda Whiting and 50 hrs kids YTT with Sarah Morris. More recently Gabby traveled to India, where she completed a 100 hr Kundalini YTT at the Anand Prakash Ashram with Yogrishi Vishvaketu.

    Through each training and the consistency of personal practice, the love for yoga has grown to something deeper than could have been originally predicted. It has blossomed into an offering of her devotion, a reconnection to her wholeness and a remembering of the sacred gift this body and life truly is. All of which overflow into her offerings and classes. Gabby has a passion for traditional aspects of yoga, weaving them into her teachings. She values being a student first as well as a teacher and invites intuitive movement and variations into her classes, encouraging students to feel into their own body and move with curiosity.

    "We are yogi scientists." - Yogrishi Vishvaketu
