Awaken the Goddess within

Welcome to "Awaken the Goddess Within: Women’s Retreat in Greece," hosted by Elma and Sabrina. Nestled in the mystical Mani Peninsula, this transformative journey invites you to embrace your inner goddess amidst Greece's awe-inspiring landscapes. Picture yourself empowered and renewed, surrounded by ancient beauty, stunning vistas, and enchanting beaches. Let the energy of this sacred land inspire us as we gather to awaken the divine feminine within, empowering each other to rise and shine like the goddesses we are. Join us for an unforgettable week of inspiration, empowerment, and sisterhood in the heart of Greece.

Embark on a soul-nourishing Yoga retreat amidst the awe-inspiring beauty of Greece, guided by two remarkable women: Sabrina and Elma, who embody wisdom, healing, motherhood, and entrepreneurial spirit. Their journey blends the vibrancy of Brazil with the essence of the Mediterranean, set against stunning sunsets, azure waters, and the ancient energy of the Mani Peninsula's castles.

We chose Sparta and Mani for our Women Empowerment Yoga Retreat in Greece because we draw inspiration from the legacies of Spartan women and the Maniots of the Mani Peninsula. In the Classical Period (5th-4th centuries BCE), Spartan women exemplified strength, independence, and resilience, enjoying freedoms uncommon in ancient Greece such as property ownership and business acumen. The Maniots, descendants of ancient Spartans, inhabit a historically isolated and rugged terrain, with "Mani" originally meaning "dry" or "barren." Historically, they were fiercely independent warriors, known for their fortified villages and resistance against invaders, including the Ottoman Empire. Both Spartan women and the Maniots embody a spirit of fortitude and independence that inspires our retreat, empowering ourselves through yoga amidst the historic and rugged beauty of these ancient lands.

Each day begins with invigorating morning yoga, meditation, and breathwork, igniting empowerment and inspiration within. Evening sessions offer soothing flows, deep stretches, Yin yoga and Yoga Nidra, allowing you to release daily stresses and rejuvenate body, mind, and spirit.
