The Aegean
May 21-26, 2023
The Aegean
Join us in the luscious days leading into summer, for a very special RewildRestore. Off-season, the island is at its most vibrant, and it will feel as if we have this expanse of Aegean blue almost entirely to ourselves.
Water has the power of resetting your nervous system, and soothing all the way down into your cells. It also holds space for ancient memories and new inspirations. You will come away deeply nourished, with a new way of listening, and a joyful connection with water, ritual, ceremony and self.
Led by Patricia Garcia-Gomez, founder of RewildRestore, co-hosted by Anita Papantoniou, creator of Eros Keros. Experiences are intentional, spacious, and for a maximum of 8 people.
What you will experience
Seven luxurious days and six nights at Eros Keros, Koufonisi
Eros Keros rests luxuriously in the gaze of the sacred island of Keros in the Small Cyclades. Our co-host, Anita, discovered the island thirty years ago, and Eros Keros is the manifestation of her life’s dream. We have reserved all four private houses, each with their own charms; all with a kitchen, en suite marble baths, private terraces and majestic views. Eros Keros gardens are abundant with olive and lemon trees, wild thyme, herbs and flowers. Magic everywhere.
Daily restorative water rituals, movement & sensory experiences
We will greet the Aegean together daily with a morning swim ritual, which will include an unfolding of water as a practice of listening, letting go, thanking, connecting to self. . We will also set off for secrete swim locations supported by daily restorative movement, focused longevity and things that you can take home with you. You will come away with your own water practice, and ritual gently and powerfully placed in your body.
Beautiful Cyclades-sourced meals & community
We believe in the power of food to unite people (especially Anita’s Greek home recipes). Brunch and dinner provided for the entire retreat experience. Brunch will be served on your private terrace every day. Dinners take place every evening around a convivial table. Some evenings will be hosted under the stars at home, some will be out at local tavernas so you can soak up the culture and get to know the specialties of the island. All meals at Eros Keros will be sourced locally and prepared just for us.
Adventurous immersion in culture & place
The ancient is the keeper of future and past selves and everything that has ever been. We will adventure by boat to a secret place, not on this island, connecting to the Aegean in the oldest center of ceremony in the Cyclades. We will also actively explore the beauty of this island with majestic hike(s) and other planned magical activities.
Spacious, supported time to rest, dream, create
Sleep, swim, create, wander, take a boat ride, get a massage, make a friend, rest, listen to the sound of the Aegean. There is a generous amount of free time each day for following what calls you, and all planned activities are optional. RewildRestore is about filling up, not about exhausting.
