Dear Traveler,
It’s been tough, we know.
To not be able to jump on a plane, make a quick luggage and throw a city map in your bag.
To not be able to scroll down your next destination, feel the first sun in a foreign place and taste the new.
The post is dedicated to the ones who dared to join us this past summer, and they are many. The ones who couldn’t do otherwise. Who couldn’t tame their urge. Who just had to do it.
Thank you from our heart! For trusting us your deepest desire. Let’s all stay safe and quarantine with grace can hope for a bright wild summer 🌱

Locked down tourist working remotely at a cafe in Serifos - A phenomenon 🌵
It’s been noticed that this second wave of quarantine finds many people from abroad cast away on the Greek islands.
Working remotely has given them the opportunity to enjoy the serenity of the islands during winter while local communities get a lil boost.
Suddenly girls on flip flops and laptops appear at the beach, the harvest and even the church 🙈

Saturday’s lockdown dream starts on a tiny boat at the port of Schoinoussa. It’s mid September, the sun is high and we’ve still got some time...💙

S l o w n e s s ▫︎◫
The birthplace of imagination.

▫︎◫

What guests truly value on our retreats is the flow of things.
The time that is allowed to be spread, stretched, or be completely ignored.
A prolonged savasana, a walk that turned into a hike, a dinner that turned into a fiesta, a Greek coffee that lasts forever.
Time reinvents itself and slow isn’t the opposite of fast anymore but rather a new dimension for the self to exist as she pleases.

This is a retreat favorite & an extra reason to wake up for the morning practice so you can justify your granola bowl afterwards 😋

Take note of the most delicious & crunchy granola recipe 📝. Courtesy by our nutritionist

Ingredients
-1 ½ cup raw almonds
-½ cup pumpkin seeds
-2 cups rolled oats
-¼ cup maple syrup
-⅓ cup runny tahini (or other smooth nut butter)
-2 tbsp coconut oil
-2 tbsp cinnamon
-¼ tsp cardamon & clove
-2 oranges - zest
-½ tsp sea salt

Let’s Do It
-Preheat the oven to 150C fan and line a baking sheet with baking paper.

-Add the almonds into a blender and pulse until they are broken up (7-10 pulses work well for me). Mix them in a big bowl with the pumpkin seeds, rolled oats, spices and orange zest.

-Add the coconut oil, maple syrup and tahini in a small saucepan and stir over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Pour it over the dry ingredients, and mix until well combined.

-Transfer the mixture onto the baking sheet and spread it by pressing down with your hands to stick together.

-Sprinkle with sea salt and bake for 40-50 minutes, until the edges are slightly golden brown.

-Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 15 minutes and break up the granola with your hands into large chunks.

-Store in an air-tight jar.
