Relax, Explore & Rejuvenate
Your Best Self
A kosher retreat for Jewish women seeking increased
wellness, serenity, and positivity
Lefkada Island, Greece
November 1 - 8, 2022
After the chagim, just when you most need and deserve it.
If you’re a Jewish woman who is ready to relax and have fun on a magical island
with caring and positive new travel pals, and learn wellness habits
to maintain lifelong serenity, balance and vitality, then...
Join us for 7 days of relaxation and exploration, laughter, serenity and sisterhood
...under the infinite stars of Lefkada Island, Greece.
Awakening peacefully in a deliciously cozy bed with crisp, soft sheets, you sense the gentle morning breezes floating in through the open window facing the sea.
Your ears enliven to the sounds of nature, and your heart soars at the realization that you are here in your own room in a gorgeous villa on a stunning island, on a precious wellness retreat that you have given yourself.
Moments later, the lovely pine scent of the forest draws you out of your room to a beautiful rainbow of blooms.
Your eyes marvel at the variety of greens and ocean blues before you. Moving slowly and gently, you’re amazed to find yourself on your airy veranda facing the sea.
Gazing at the mountainous islands in the distance and the sparkling waters below, you suddenly notice that you not only feel rested, happy, and excited for another day of exploration, but that you are now living with consistent ease, joy, and vibrancy like you haven’t experienced in a long time.
We created this retreat for you!

Let Yourself Go
A Retreat where we take care of everything especially You!
Longing for Seven Blissful Days?
On this retreat, through grounding yoga and quality time for reflection, you will release what weighs you down and become comfortable with your emotions, so you can return home feeling calm, centered and energized.
After a week of eating deliciously nutritious and satisfying meals, and experiencing consistent balanced mood and an upbeat attitude as a result, you will return home with the motivation and recipes to integrate healthy eating into your life.
You’ll also gain a sisterhood of new friends and travel pals with whom you will share, dine, learn, play, laugh and grow together, and who may likely become some of your closest supports and cherished friends in life.
During these seven exhilarating, transformative, and memorable days, you will learn the importance of investing in your well-being, and go home with the resources to elevate your health, vitality, and joy in the years to come.
Imagine
Slowing down, being taken care of, letting your body, mind, and central nervous system purr from a week of rest and rejuvenation.
Imagine warm sunshine, mountain breezes, abundant time for yourself.
Deeper breaths, exquisite yoga sessions, excursions and activities in nature.
A glorious week surrounded by positivity, understanding, laughter, and meaningful connections.
You’ll experience your best self and take home new tools and habits for enhanced vitality, serenity, and love of life.
“Feeling good is healing.” Come along with us.
We’ll stargaze at night, have upbeat workshops on abundance mindset, emotional wellness tools, promoting restful sleep, the energetics of words.
You’ll reconnect with yourself after the Chagim and know what it feels like to really live your best emotional and spiritual well-being.
We’ll explore the pristine and beautiful nature of the island, whether it’s from the top of a mountain, from the coves and bays while sea-kayaking, or taking in the silent and powerful energy of the forests.
Morning walks, meditation classes, yoga facing the sea. Lounge by the villa infinity pool overlooking the sea, warm sunshine on your skin, gentle breezes on your face, with a book or your journal.

Lefkada is a mountainous island blessed with some of the world’s most beautiful and famous beaches and verdant forests off the western coast of mainland Greece.
It’s filled with amazing views at every turn. Not particularly touristy, it’s unspoiled and has a picturesque and gentle charm with pretty villages and friendly people. It’s a little piece of heaven.
And it is still warm and sunny in Lefkada in early November. We have scouted retreat locations from Thailand to Costa Rica… and Lefkada, Greece is our favorite!

Notes to self:
"Along with all the growth and healing, remember to give yourself time for integration.
It looks like doing nothing. This nothing is necessary!"
"Surround yourself with people that reflect who you want to be and how you want to feel.
Energy is contagious."
"Instead of focusing on a To-Do list, I’m focusing on a To-Be list.
Things I want to be: Happy, Calm, Healthy, Positive, Loving"
