Argos, Greece
"The women's circle" one day Retreat, Marietta Sarigiannidou & Andriani Xiarchou, Nafplio, Greece
An autumn pause to breathe, connect & come home to yourself. Day Retreat & MYNDers Reunion
Overview
There is something powerful about women gathering in a circle. A space where we can slow down, be seen, listen, share and reconnect, without having to be anywhere else or become anything more. The Women’s Circle is an intimate autumn day retreat in Nafplio, Greece, created to welcome the new season through presence, movement, nourishment and meaningful connection. Inside the warm, traditional stone setting of SOMA Boutique Fitness Studio, we begin and end in circle. Throughout the day, breathwork, Tai Chi-inspired and somatic movement, nervous-system practices invite us back into the body, while Marietta’s Immersive Awakening™ experience with NeuroVIZR®, Silent Disco Headphones, sound and guided visualization takes us deeper inward. We slow down even further through a Greek herbal tea ceremony with local honey and a women’s sharing ritual, followed by a cooking meditation with traditional trachanas, seasonal vegetables, herbs and local ingredients, preparing and sharing food together around the table. More than a day retreat, this is a gathering of women and a MYNDers reunion. A moment to pause between seasons, reconnect with ourselves and one another, and remember how different life can feel when we create space to simply be. One circle. One autumn day. A deeper connection to yourself, and to each other.
