Our Story
Villa Melodia is a magical and charming place, a private home with a relaxing and secret garden, located among olive groves and cypress forests on the beautiful hills of Apokoronas, in Crete.
From the very first moment, the host ManuDiosa felt the call to share her home-temple with people from the community interested in gathering in a healthy way, cultivating a container of holistic activities and workshops aimed at supporting conscious individual growth.
In fact, on a magical and auspicious early spring dawn in 2022, ManuDiosa had a lucid dream in which she saw her community gather in her garden as they danced, sang and opened up in a circle, feeling harmony and freedom in union.
Since that day, she has cultivated her prophecy and vision with care, presence and devotion. She deeply confides that the path of remembrance, our innate connections with Nature, Ancestors, Cosmic Consciousness and our essence as beautiful Creative Human Beings on Earth, open us up to the possibility of creating a life in harmony and abundance, respecting each other and honouring each step we take towards self-awareness and the discovery of our gifts.
Villa Melodia is committed to preserving this sacred space in which we evolve together.
Since 2022, the garden has opened up to artistic healing arts, such as meditation sessions, breath work, women's and co'ed circles, vocal mandalas, devotional concerts, multi-ethnic and conscious music, improvisational dance, somatic works, ecstatic dance, healing therapies, cacao ceremonies, sound healing and more. To date, Villa Melodia has hosted several local and international artists and space helders such as Carolina Chream, Zin Onyx, Themis Alexandris, Nectarios Mitritsakis, Eleni Alexiou,Jennifewr Rose, Maja Backovic, Colleena Shakti, Rob Sykes, David Binyamin, Dr Kamila Hortynska and Paulina Melissas.
Villa Melodia longs to combine personal healing with conscious fun, creating an environment in which to experience the joy of being, belonging to a growing community in Crete and contributing all with our unique presence and gifts. A peaceful conteiner in harmony with Mother Earth, which combines lightness and depth, reflection and curiosity, childish joy and creativity, inspiration, presence and sharing, within a mostly adult community, where children over the age of 8 are welcome with parental supervision.
Villa Melodia offers space rental for workshops, concerts, holistic mini-retreats, healing arts, seasonal community enrichment meetings, aimed at cultivating a more ceremonial set up of sacred space.
