RADIANT BEING
Greece Retreat
May 15-22, 2027 Kea, Greece
THE EXPERIENCE
A week to feel joyfully alive. Nestled on the island of Kea, overlooking the Aegean Sea, this retreat is an invitation to reconnect with your light - through morning movement, laughter, and moments that remind you how good it feels to simply be.
Each day unfolds at its own easy pace: sunrise practices to greet the day, unstructured afternoons by the pool or wandering the coastline, sunset flows as the sky turns gold over the water. Nourishing Greek-inspired meals from our private chef, laughter with new friends, and warm, sun-filled hours weave through it all.
More than anything, this is a retreat meant to be felt - soaking up the light, moving with joy, and remembering the radiance within yourself.
Kea is one of the lesser-known Cyclades - quieter and more unhurried than its famous neighbors, just an hour from Athens by ferry. Ancient oak forests, hidden coves, and villages that still move at the pace of daylight rather than schedules. It’s the kind of island that invites you to slow down the moment you arrive.
WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?
This retreat is for anyone ready to say yes to themselves - to devote a week to the daily practices that reconnect you with your own radiance, joy, and inspiration.
Whether you're craving a a reset, marking a milestone, or simply making space to remember your own light, you don't need to have it all figured out - just the willingness to show up as you are, ready to receive.
Picture mornings that unfold at their own pace, sun-soaked afternoons by the sea, and evenings spent in easy connection with people who feel like family. This is a week built for presence and joy - an invitation to feel radiant - inside and out.
I'm Leanne, found of Drift Yoga - a devoted student of this practice long before I ever called myself a teacher.
My retreats are so much more than a "yoga retreat". What I love most is guiding people beyond the physical practice, into something deeper. A devotional practice built for yourself, made of ritual, ceremony, and the simple, radical act of acknowledging and honouring who you are. There is space here to be witnessed in your truth and by community.
I lead with intention, softness, and soul. Weaving together movement, breath, and ceremony to help you set intentions, release what no longer serves you, and step fully out of the noise of everyday stress. My hope is that what could simply be downtime becomes something sacred instead. A week you carry with you long after you've left.
I can't wait to hold space for you.
With love,
HOST

THE VILLA
Our home for the week is Villa Naos, a private villa built into the hillside above Koundouros on Kea's southwestern coast. The name comes from the ancient Greek word for "temple". It's a fitting name as this is a place built slowly, stone by stone, to hold space for rest, connection, and simple sun-filled living.
The villa is arranged across four connected houses, linked by outdoor paths and shared terraces, all oriented toward the sea. At it's heart is an 18-metre infinity pool, a natural gathering point as the day winds down. Two pergolas offer shade for long lunches and easy evenings, while a set of stone steps invites you to pause and watch the light change over the water. At the highest point of the property sits 100 sqm open-air wellness shala with unobstructed views of the Aegean - where we'll gather for morning and evening practices.
NOURISHMENT
Meals at Villa Nāos follow the rhythm of the island - fresh, seasonal, and shaped by what's good that day. The day is fully taken care of: from a nourishing breakfast to mid-morning and afternoon snacks to keep you going, shaded lunches, and dinners gathered together under the pergola or the stars. Infused water is on hand throughout the day to keep you refreshed in the island sun.
The villa's chef is well versed in dietary restrictions and allergies, and every menu is adapted to the group.
ACTIVITIES
Beyond our daily practice, this retreat invites you into the rhythm of the island - a private boat tour along Kea's hidden coves, a village tour through Ioulida's historic streets, sunset beach strolls, and free afternoons to simply be. This retreat leaves plenty of room to breathe.
For anyone wanting to add a little more to their week, a range of optional extras can be arranged directly with the villa - ceramics or weaving workshops, a local honey tasting, a Greek dance night, spa and massage treatments, e-bike tours, snorkeling and much more! These aren't included in the retreat price, but they are easy to add on if something catches your eye once we are there.
