2026 Fall Greece Retreat
Living in Alignment
Guided by the Rhythm of your Soul
Urania Luxury Villas, Lefkada, Greece
October 4-11, 2026
If you’ve been craving a reset, time away from the demands of life to listen inward and realign with what truly matters, this retreat was created for you. Join us in Greece for a week of rest, reflection, and renewal, where movement, mindfulness, and the magic of the Ionian Sea invite you back into peace, purpose, and presence.
Where Stillness Meets the Sea
Imagine waking to soft light dancing across the Ionian Sea, the air still cool and filled with the sound of waves meeting the cliffs below.
You step outside, warm stone beneath your feet, coffee in hand, as the horizon opens in endless shades of blue. The world feels spacious — quiet, alive, and inviting.
As the day unfolds, you move through gentle yoga, moments of meditation, and long, unhurried meals made with love. Laughter drifts through the open air; connection comes easily here.
There’s time for reflection, for stillness, for simply being — no rushing, no roles to play.
One day you’ll sail across turquoise water, exploring secret coves and nearby islands kissed by sunlight. Another, you’ll wander through olive groves and stand before a waterfall, feeling its mist and power. Each experience invites you back to the essence of who you are — grounded, whole, aligned.
By evening, the sky turns to gold and lavender as you gather for dinner under the stars. Conversations flow easily, hearts are open, and the air hums with peace.
This is what it feels like to live in alignment — guided by the rhythm of your soul.
Are You Ready to Feel Aligned Again?
Have you ever felt like you’re moving through life on autopilot — doing what’s needed, yet feeling quietly disconnected from yourself?
Through mindful movement, Reiki-infused practices, and time surrounded by nature’s stillness, you’ll learn to pause, listen, and gently realign with your inner rhythm. You’ll return home feeling centered, peaceful, and in tune with who you truly are.
How would it feel to finally release the weight you’ve been carrying — the constant stress that lives in your body and never seems to let go?
Here, surrounded by sea air and stillness, you’ll soften into ease. Each breath, each mindful movement, helps you let go of tension and find comfort in your body again. You’ll rediscover calm as something simple, steady, and yours to keep.
Let Go, Realign, and Rise Into Your True Self
Do you ever sense that your intuition is speaking, but the noise of life drowns it out?
In the quiet of Lefkada, guided by Reiki and reflection, you’ll learn to trust that inner voice again. You’ll find space to listen — not for answers from the outside world, but for the gentle truth within.
Wouldn’t it feel freeing to finally fill your own cup — to give yourself the same care and compassion you’ve offered to everyone else?
Here, surrounded by beauty and balance, you’ll be supported in remembering your own needs and nurturing your energy without guilt. You’ll return home refreshed, reconnected, and ready to live from overflow instead of exhaustion.
You’ve felt the call for stillness. Now experience it surrounded by the beauty of Greece — where peace and purpose flow effortlessly together.
Location: Lefkada, Greece
Perched in the Ionian Sea, Lefkada is a place where nature moves in harmony — sea blending into sky, light dancing across turquoise water, and time unfolding at its own steady pace. Known as “The Caribbean of Greece,” this unspoiled island invites you to slow down and realign with life’s natural rhythm.
Here, each sunrise feels like a new beginning — golden light spilling across white cliffs and olive groves, the soft sound of waves below grounding you in the present moment. It’s a place that naturally restores balance, reminding you how good it feels to live in flow rather than in force.
Between its breathtaking beaches, traditional mountain villages, and the stillness of the Ionian horizon, Lefkada offers more than beauty — it offers perspective. Surrounded by this elemental energy of water, air, and earth, you’ll feel your own inner rhythm begin to soften and harmonize.
Lefkada is where nature becomes your teacher — showing you that alignment isn’t something you strive for, it’s something you remember.
The Venue: Urania Luxury Villas
Our home for the retreat is Urania Luxury Villas, an extraordinary sanctuary perched on the cliffs above the Ionian Sea on Lefkada’s serene south coast. The villas rest gently within the green hillside, overlooking the bay of Vassiliki and the mythical island of Ithaca — the legendary home of Odysseus.
Created with love and respect for the land, Urania Villas blend luxury with simplicity. Each stone villa features expansive terraces, private pools, and elegant interiors designed to invite rest and reflection. Built following a dream “to embrace nature’s silence,” this space radiates peace — the kind that settles softly in your body and stays long after you’ve left.
A private yoga shala with panoramic sea views awaits your daily practice. Its white wooden floors and light-filled design create the perfect setting to move, breathe, and connect. Whether the soft Ionian breeze flows through the windows or the sound of waves hums in the distance, each session feels like communion with nature.
For those moments of solitude, find your way to a quiet corner — a terrace chair overlooking the sea, or a shady spot near the pool. The surrounding cliffs, turquoise water, and distant islands remind you how vast yet intimate the world can feel when you’re fully present.
At Urania, every detail — from the view to the stillness — supports your return to alignment. It’s more than a venue; it’s a mirror for what you’re here to rediscover: harmony, balance, and the gentle rhythm of your soul.
Accommodations & Amenities: Your Sanctuary by the Sea
Our retreat home is a sanctuary of serenity and simplicity.
You’ll be staying in one of four luxurious stone villas nestled into the hillside, each designed to harmonize comfort with the beauty of nature. Every villa offers private terraces overlooking the Ionian Sea, where morning light dances across the water and evenings invite quiet reflection beneath the stars.
Each villa includes a private pool, a fully equipped kitchen, and spacious living areas filled with natural textures and soft, soothing tones. The interiors are both elegant and earthy — stone walls, warm wood, and the gentle sea breeze flowing through open windows.
You’ll enjoy your own en-suite bathroom, air conditioning, and eco-luxury Coco-Mat mattresses and pillows made from all-natural materials to ensure restorative sleep. Wi-Fi and daily housekeeping are provided for your comfort, though most guests find themselves happily unplugged, content to rest and recharge.
We are offering single and double occupancy options. Each bedroom provides ample space and ocean views — a peaceful haven to unwind between group gatherings and personal time. If you’re joining with a friend or partner, we’re happy to pair you together; otherwise, we’ll thoughtfully match roommates who share similar energy and intention.
This retreat welcomes all genders. Room accommodations will not be mixed-gender unless specifically requested. Villas, which include several private rooms and shared common areas, may be mixed-gender unless otherwise noted. We’ll always do our best to honor preferences so each guest feels comfortable, respected, and at ease throughout their stay.
Everything about this setting — from the handcrafted villas to the infinity of sea and sky beyond — has been created to support deep rest, connection, and alignment. It’s a place where luxury meets stillness and where the beauty around you mirrors the calm you’ll cultivate within.
You’ve found your place to rest and restore. Now allow yourself to be nourished by the flavors and rhythms of Greece.
Nourishment from the Heart of Greece
Each meal is part of your retreat — a sensory experience, a moment of connection, a quiet celebration of being fully present.
You’ll sit down to long, leisurely meals prepared with love by Urania, the villa’s owner and gifted chef, whose dishes are as soulful as the island itself. Using fresh, local ingredients and the vibrant simplicity of the Mediterranean diet, every meal is designed to nourish your body, delight your senses, and honor the natural abundance of Greece.
Imagine the aroma of olive oil, lemon, and wild herbs drifting through the air as you gather around a table overlooking the Ionian Sea. You’ll taste creamy Greek yogurt with honey and figs for breakfast, fresh vegetables drizzled with golden olive oil for lunch, and flavorful lentil stews or baked moussaka for dinner — each dish created with intention, color, and heart.
You’ll dine al fresco, with sea breezes and sunlight accompanying every meal. The menu celebrates the Mediterranean cuisine with locally sourced ingredients, occasionally complemented by the day’s catch from nearby waters. Whether you prefer vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free meals, you’ll feel cared for — every dish crafted to meet your needs with creativity and joy.
Here, food becomes more than nourishment — it’s an act of love, a meditation in taste, and a reminder that alignment isn’t only felt in the soul, but also savored in the body.
Warning: Urania’s homemade desserts have been known to cause spontaneous smiles and second helpings — consider yourself deliciously warned.
Please note: Most dietary preferences and restrictions can be accommodated with advance notice. Simply share your needs when registering, and our chef will lovingly prepare meals to suit you.
Our Journey
Imagine stepping into a week of deep renewal, where every moment feels like a gentle invitation to slow down, breathe, and listen — not to the noise of the world, but to the quiet rhythm of your own soul.
From the moment you arrive in Greece, your journey will be held with care and intention. You’ll travel together from Athens to Lefkada, where the turquoise sea, warm sunlight, and breathtaking cliffs welcome you into stillness. The moment you arrive at Urania Villas, the pace of life begins to soften. The air feels different here — fresh, alive, and full of possibility.
As the sun dips below the horizon, we’ll gather for our opening circle, setting intentions and gently releasing the stress and expectations of everyday life. This sacred space marks the beginning of your journey inward — a week devoted to alignment, ease, and reconnection.
Each morning begins with Reiki-infused yoga and mindful breathwork — practices I’ll guide to help you release tension, quiet your thoughts, and return to your body’s natural rhythm. These sessions are accessible for all levels and designed to meet you exactly where you are, supporting both physical and emotional balance. You’ll feel the layers of stress begin to melt away, replaced by clarity, presence, and peace.
Throughout the week, we’ll explore Lefkada’s natural beauty through thoughtfully chosen excursions that echo our theme of alignment. A sailing journey across the Ionian Sea will invite you to move with nature’s flow — reminding you how to surrender to life’s rhythm with grace. Our hike to the waterfalls of Nydri offers a chance to connect with the island’s vitality, standing before cascading waters that symbolize release and renewal. A visit to the Apollo Lighthouse and Porto Katsiki Beach will open your heart to awe and perspective — moments that gently realign you with wonder and gratitude.
Between our adventures, you’ll have ample time to rest and reflect — to swim in your private pool, journal under the olive trees, or simply sit quietly and let the sea hold your attention. These pauses are intentional. They create space for integration — where the lessons of stillness and alignment settle deeply into your being.
Evenings bring us back together for guided meditation, Reiki sharing, or heartfelt conversation, allowing you to ground the day’s experiences with awareness and connection. This is where transformation unfolds — not through effort, but through presence.
As the retreat draws to a close, we’ll come together for a closing ceremony to honor your journey — the release, the renewal, the return to yourself. You’ll leave with more than memories of Greece’s beauty; you’ll carry home a sense of ease, trust, and alignment that continues to guide you long after you return.
This is more than a retreat — it’s a journey home to yourself, supported by nature, community, and the healing rhythm of your own soul.

About Me…
Renee Green is an accredited yoga instructor, Reiki Master, and certified Sound Healer who blends mindful movement, energy healing, and sound to help others reconnect with peace and presence.
Over the years, Renee has guided numerous retreats throughout California and abroad — including her most recent gathering in Bimini, Bahamas — each designed as a sacred space for renewal, connection, and inner harmony. Her retreats weave together gentle yoga, Reiki, sound healing, nourishing food, and the beauty of nature to help participants rediscover their natural rhythm and sense of well-being.
Renee’s philosophy is simple yet profound: when the mind, body, and breath move together in harmony, we return to our true selves — free, open, and aligned. She finds deep joy in witnessing transformation — the softening of tension, the spark of clarity, and the peace that comes from remembering who we truly are.
This journey to Greece continues that vision — an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and live in alignment with the rhythm of your soul.
A Final Word From My Heart
My vision for Living in Alignment — Guided by the Rhythm of Your Soul was born from a longing — to create a space where the pace of life slows, and your inner rhythm rises to meet the song of your own heart.
I imagine us gathered on the cliffs of Lefkada, the soft sound of the sea below, sunlight dancing across the Ionian waters. I see quiet mornings that begin with movement and breath, moments of stillness that open into laughter and connection, and evenings spent under the stars, nourished by conversation, good food, and the joy of simply being present.
This journey is an invitation to come home to yourself — to listen deeply, to trust your intuition, and to remember what it feels like to live in harmony with your truth. Here, surrounded by nature’s beauty and the rhythm of the Mediterranean, you’ll find the space to release what no longer serves you and to open to the life that’s calling you forward.
My hope is that you’ll leave this retreat not only refreshed and renewed, but realigned — walking with a steadier heart, a clearer mind, and a soul guided by its own natural rhythm.
If your spirit feels the quiet pull of this journey, trust it. Greece is waiting — and I would be honored to share this time of stillness, laughter, and soul connection with you.
If your heart feels a quiet yes, trust it — Greece is calling.
