TWO EXPERTISES - ONE EXPERIENCE

Introduction

An immersive journey from Athens to Amorgos: October 3–10, 2026

Move differently. Breathe deeper. Think wider. Live fully.
The Art of Being Well is an immersive journey combining movement, breath, energy, mindset and holistic wellness in one unique retreat.
Led by Mariana, Holistic Practitioner & Event Organizer, and Sandy, Sports Coach at the Monaco Yacht Club and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner, this retreat brings together two complementary worlds: the intelligence and vitality of the body, and the power and flexibility of the mind.

From the cultural richness of Athens to the natural beauty of Amorgos, the journey combines exploration, physical practices, conscious breathing, energy work, meditation, mental preparation and genuine moments of rest.
This is not a retreat built around a single discipline. It is an invitation to explore the full spectrum of wellbeing — Body, Mind, Energy and Wellness — as interconnected dimensions of the same experience.

THE CONCEPT
BODY · MIND · ENERGY · WELLNESS
Our physical state affects our mental state.
Our breathing influences our nervous system.
Our thoughts influence our behaviour.
Our energy influences the way we move, connect and experience the world.
This retreat brings these dimensions together through an intentionally varied programme.

Program

THE JOURNEY
The journey begins in Athens (October 3rd)
Arrival during the evening, check-in and time to settle into the city.
OCTOBER 4 · ATHENS: A full day dedicated to discovering Athens and its remarkable heritage.
Explore the city, its history and its unique atmosphere, including a visit to the Acropolis and some of its cultural highlights.
OCTOBER 5 · ATHENS → AMORGOS: The Holistic experience Begins
We leave Athens and travel towards the island of Amorgos. As we arrive on the island, the rhythm changes. The Aegean landscape and slower pace create a natural transition from exploration to immersion.
OCTOBER 5–9 · AMORGOS ISLAND - BODY, BREATH, MIND & ENERGY:
Our days in Amorgos will be structured around a combination of practices, with up to three sessions per day. The programme will progressively evolve throughout the retreat, alternating more dynamic practices with moments of stillness, recovery and integration.

KUNDALINI FLOW & ENERGY is one of the foundations of the retreat.
Kundalini Flow combines movement, breath, awareness and energy.
This embodied practice invites participants to explore vitality, presence and the relationship between physical movement and energetic experience. It forms one of the central energetic dimensions of the retreat.
MOVEMENT & BODY
Through conscious movement, physical preparation, somatic practices and Kundalini Flow, we will explore mobility, body awareness, vitality and the release of accumulated physical tension. The intention is to experience what happens when we move with greater awareness.

BREATH & BREATHWORK
Breathing is one of the most immediate ways to influence our physical and mental state.
Different conscious breathing techniques and Breathwork practices will be introduced throughout the week. Depending on the practice, these may support relaxation, grounding, activation, focus, emotional release and nervous system regulation. The breath becomes both a tool and a gateway into greater awareness.

SOMATIC PRACTICES
Somatic work brings attention back to the body and its sensations.
Through simple, accessible practices, participants you are invited to develop greater awareness of physical sensations, patterns of tension and the body's responses to stress and emotion. The body is where the experience happens.

MEDITATION & AWARENESS
Guided meditations and moments of stillness will complement the more active practices.
These sessions create space to slow down, observe, integrate and develop a different quality of attention.

MENTAL PREPARATION & NLP
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) explores the relationship between our thoughts, language, emotions, behaviours and patterns of perception.
During the retreat, we will introduce practical NLP-based tools designed to help you explore how you interpret situations, communicate, focus and respond. Rather than focusing on abstract theory, the sessions will offer practical approaches to:
• Develop greater mental flexibility
• Improve focus and concentration
• Recognise habitual thought patterns
• Explore alternative perspectives
• Strengthen mental preparation
• Create more conscious responses
• Develop greater choice in behaviour and communication
The objective is to think with greater awareness, flexibility and choice.

AEGIALIS HOTEL & SPA · 5 STARS HOTEL lN AMORGOS
Our retreat takes place at 5 stars Aegialis Hotel & Spa, set above the Aegean Sea on the beautiful island of Amorgos.
With its panoramic views, peaceful surroundings and dedicated wellness environment, the hotel provides a natural setting for a retreat combining movement, wellbeing and restoration. The sea, landscape and rhythm of the island are an integral part of the experience.
Between practices, participants can enjoy the hotel's facilities, the surrounding nature and the unique atmosphere of Amorgos.

OCTOBER 9 · AMORGOS → ATHENS : Closing the Island Experience
After our final practices and time to enjoy the island, we return to Athens. The retreat programme comes to a close while leaving space to enjoy one final evening in the city.

OCTOBER 10 · ATHENS Free Day & Departure
The final day is intentionally free. Enjoy Athens at your own pace, revisit a favourite place, discover more of the city, shop, relax or simply take the day as it comes before your departure.

REST, NATURE & INTEGRATION
A retreat is not only about what happens during the sessions. It is also about what happens in between them.
Time will be deliberately left for rest, swimming, walking, exploring the island, reading, enjoying the surroundings, sharing meals or simply doing nothing.
The experience is built around a natural alternation between:
Activation & recovery
Movement & stillness
Focus & freedom
Exploration & integration
Amorgos becomes part of the practice itself.
