Step into a space of deep connection and self-discovery with “Awakening the Senses: A Holistic Experience for Body, Voice, and Soul.”

This four-days retreat in the beautiful island of Crete is an invitation to return to yourself, to be fully present, to enjoy and embrace self-love in a nurturing and supportive environment.

Each day is designed to guide you gently back to your true essence, with mindful morning meditations and prayers, somatic practices, healing massages, silent walks through breathtaking landscapes, self-discovery workshops, cacao ceremony to open the heart, ecstatic healing dance to celebrate the inner flow, and vocal activation to free your authentic voice and embrace your expression.

Every activity is an opportunity to reconnect with your inner wisdom and feel more grounded, clear and confident to take your next daily steps.

This journey focuses on being rather than doing—being present, staying open and curious, and showing kindness to yourself.

Surrounded by peaceful nature and guided by attentive facilitators, you’ll rediscover the joy of living in the moment, the beauty of self-care, and the profound nourishment that comes from honoring your own needs.

What Makes This Retreat Special

To remember what the soul inherently knows.

This retreat provides a distinctive blend of deep and gentle inner exploration, a nurturing environment, and mindful human connections.

It facilitates a self-discovery journey enriched by the intentional and transcendent use of voice, movement, embodied practices, and tools for emotional release, integration, and awareness-based inquiry, all within a safe, respectful, and meticulously maintained space.

The journey encompasses both a rediscovery of our true essence and moments of celebration and remembrance.

Available only for small groups of 5 women

Some word from testimonials:

​

^"It’s such a gift to work with Manu! I worked with her both, in coaching and received her massages several times.  Both are a ceremonial, a space to deeply reconnect with yourself - in mind and body. 
Manu has a deep feminine gift of tuning into what’s exactly needed and creating a space so you can tune into your essence, what’s important FOR YOU at that point. 

100% recommendation to work on both levels with her!

"

Bettina

"Manu has an intuitive , heartfelt presence, a soulful touch, every massage I have experienced has been unique, deeply healing and skilfully given. 

I recommend Zoe massage to all of my guests and they have reported back the best they have ever had."

Dawn

"Manu has great sensitivity and listening skills; she creates a sacred and intimate space where I always feel safe and welcomed just as I am. She guided me to self-awareness and respected my time for integration. Thanks to our individual sessions, I have explored deeply and reunited pieces of myself that I now recognize and can relate to differently. I feel clearly more centered and connected to myself.

I recommend meeting her; she is a gift."

Terry

"I had the great pleasure of enjoying Manu's gifted hands. She not only touched my body, but saw me holistically. I enjoyed two Abyangam massages and both times I left feeling very relaxed and as if I were walking on clouds.

Manu's loving and professional manner made me feel very comfortable. The studio rooms have a very beautiful atmosphere, making you feel well cared for and safe.

I can wholeheartedly recommend a treatment at Zoe's."
