Experience Highlights

Personal & Professional coaching

On the paradise island of Zakynthos, executive coach Lesley Kaye, will offer a combination of individual, group and optional small group coaching sessions of up to 5 hours during the week to help you gently reconnect with some of your long-term goals and aspirations.

During the group coaching you’ll spend time looking at the present and learn techniques to help you visualize what your rich and meaningful future might look like. It could be an idea or business you want to pursue, but cannot see a way forward, a major life change or an area where you currently feel stuck. The journey continues throughout the week to help you make sense of new insights gained during the retreat, in the workshops, personal coaching or conversations with others.

As part of the total coaching package you will be offered 1.5 hours of one-to-one coaching with Lesley to support you in progressing your goals, overcome what may be preventing you moving forward and gather forward momentum to realise your dreams. Book your individual coaching sessions directly with your coach at the beginning of the week.

As a follow-up to the week, Lesley will also offer a 30-minute individual follow-up zoom or telephone coaching session if taken by the end of November 2022.

Sun, sea and sightseeing

Your hosts, Denia & Antonio, will ensure you have a comfortable relaxing stay and will introduce you to the best this island has to offer. It’s the perfect opportunity to discover the magic of Zakynthos with other like-minded people, while immersing into the culture in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Greek food in traditional tavernas

You’ll taste authentic Greek cuisine in traditional tavernas and fine restaurants exploring a variety of dishes celebrated and cooked on Zakynthos. The menu is crafted for both meat and fish lovers, but we can arrange a vegetarian/vegan option for you too. 

From stuffed vegetables softening in the sun, to the refreshing crunch of an organic Greek salad, creamy moussaka and succulent BBQ, you’ll taste different and unique localities every day in different tavernas all around the island.

In the mountain village of Orthonies, you will have the chance to experience a unique “farm to fork” live cooking demonstration of free-ranged stuffed chicken, in tomato sauce, with plenty of opportunities for audience participation and enjoy the meal you helped to cook.

Yoga Class

Our qualified yoga instructor Andriana, will guide you through a series of nourishing and uplifting yoga practices to help create freedom in both body and mind. Strengthen and maintain this sense of tranquility through our two open-air yoga sessions on the sandy Laganas beach.
