4 day paros retreat 2024
with Mickey
2nd – 6th October 2024
The beautiful island of Paros beckons us once again, with its magical golden sandy beaches, enchanting rural villages and historical monuments. And what better way to compliment all that than Dru yoga, meditation and nidra, accessible for all levels.
There will also be a chance to try your hand at Greek cooking on this 4 day trip away. Of course a relaxing massage with Phyll will be scheduled in. And time well spent just to ‘feel like yourself’ again !
Lots of free time to explore the nearby villages of Naoussa and Perikia or to go futher afield and visit the neighbouring island of antiparos. Maybe just lounging on the nearby sandy beach, just 5 minutes walk, what ever takes your fancy !
Calm and quiet, with some fun and laughter, and opportunity to make new friends. Only 10 spaces are available, making this an intimate experience.
