Real Me Retreat in Greece
You are warmly invited to join me on the shores of the Greek Sea, where you can recharge, find balance, and deepen the authentic connection with yourself and others.
The next Real Me Retreat will take place on Crete, by the sea close to Heraklion, Greece, from Friday to Sunday, April 17–19, 2026.
A grounded space for deeper listening – the power of sensitivity and the Real Me.
This retreat may be for you if you recognise yourself in the following:
- You long to take a break from everyday life and spend time reflecting on yourself and your life.
- You value meaningful and genuine connections with yourself and others.
- You feel drawn to exploring the real you and the current themes in your life.
- You wish to relax, rest and invest in your overall well-being.
If this resonates with you, you are warmly welcome. The retreat is open to all adults of all genders. You can come alone, with a partner or with another close person.
YOUR RETREAT EXPERIENCE
The Real Me Retreat gives you the opportunity to take a break, reflect on your life and discover who you really are. You can connect with others in an authentic way, explore your feelings with compassion, and recognise what is meaningful and important to you right now.
What better environment for self-exploration than the sparkling blue Greek Sea and radiant sun?
During the retreat, we engage in a variety of practical exercises for both body and mind, including healing relaxation and mindfulness practices. Through reflective talks, safe and confidential sharing, and guided personal exploration, you are given space to recharge, deepen your self-awareness, and explore themes that matter to you right now.
The program also allows time for rest, being by the sea, and enjoying local food.
Far from everyday routines, you may begin to see things more clearly and find new perspectives, inner resources and fresh inspiration for your life.
The retreat will be held in English. Perfect language skills are not needed, presence, experience and shared space matter most.

RETREAT LEADER
There are two trainers at the retreat: Heli and Greece 🙂
“I have travelled extensively in Greece and live there part of the time. I offer the group my local knowledge, expertise and experience of humanity and human development, 22 years of experience as a psychologist and trainer, and 40 years of conscious and thorough personal growth, which has given me an understanding of human development, holistic well-being, the power of sensitivity, and love for living life on your own terms and being your true self.”
Testimonials of previous participants
“A wonderful week, feeling so free and happy. Grateful for showing me the beauty of Greece. Your trust in your intuition shines through and gives me strength to do the same.”
“I had been thinking for a long time that something had to change. The retreat didn’t give me any ready-made answers, but it gave me space to find my own insights. A remarkably balanced week – just the right amount of discussion, physical activity and peace.”
“This was one of the most important weeks of my life.I went along because my partner asked me to. I left feeling lighter, clearer and surprisingly hopeful. Something clicked into place. I realised that my own well-being is not selfish – it is the foundation of everything.“
“Thank you again! You created a safe atmosphere. The exercises went deep. Removing roles and protective shells lightened me up a lot, and I got a sense of who I could be.“
“I’ve never been one to talk about my feelings, but here I didn’t have to pretend anything. There was space to withdraw, but also the opportunity to be seen if you wanted to. That made it really valuable.“
“I was met and listened to with respect and kindness. Heli, your way of doing things and guiding us is wonderfully gentle, accepting and appreciative. The joy, support, acceptance and appreciation of you and the other course participants were especially important to me.”
