We're excited for you to experience this Unique and Powerful Program

Crete’s magic lies not only in its wild natural beauty and Mediterranean lifestyle but in the daily opportunities for awe-inspiring moments that captivate you. Living here has brought us closer to nature and the simplicity of life, whilst allowing us the freedom and space to hone our skills and passions. We’ve created ‘Find Your Magic’ to give you a taste of this paradise island and to create an unforgettable experience that will enrich your life.

Destination : Crete

“Crete's mystery is extremely deep. Whoever sets foot on this island senses a mysterious force branching warmly and beneficently through their veins; senses their soul begin to grow ” - Nikos Kazantzakis

Immerse yourself in the powerful energy and magic of Crete: explore some of the island’s most incredible spots: mountains, waterfalls, beaches and lakes. Discover the island that we call home through some of our favourite places and experiences. At every turn, we will set the scene for exhilarating and awe-inspiring moments: from a sunrise meditation on a beach to hiking a lush canyon and plunging under the cool waters of a spectacular waterfall.

The Retreat Space

‘Find Your Magic’ is based at one of Crete’s most beautiful spaces: Armonia Retreat Centre, a serene sanctuary in the heart of the picturesque village of Douliana, 26km East of Chania. Facilities include large indoor and outdoor workshop spaces, lounge, kitchen, outdoor dining area and gym. 

The Accommodation

SHARED ROOMS @ ARMONIA

Beauty and serenity are paramount in this modern, comfortable and gorgeous retreat centre. Enjoy your own bed in one of the 4 spacious bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. Each room accommodates 2-4 guests, although we aim to keep it to 2 people.

Single OCcupancy in Neighbouring Stone VILLA

Single occupancy rooms can be booked for an extra fee, subject to availability. Stay in a private bedroom with your own bathroom (not ensuite) in a traditional stone villa next door to Armonia. You’ll be sharing a villa with one other retreat participant, and have access to a shared swimming pool.

The Food

PLANT-BASED HEAVEN

Our chef Gita will be preparing heavenly and healthy plant-based and vegetarian food that nourishes your body and soul and leaves you feeling energised and revitalised. Gita is a Vegan Chef, Sustainable Lifestyle Activist and Confidence Coach, and author of the book “Permission to be Bold, Gorgeous and Timeless”.
