Summer Awakening Yoga Retreat
Lefkada, Greece | 24 -29 May 2024
Mimosa is a Greek island, family run Retreat Centre located in a place of outstanding natural beauty, providing a secluded space for peace, relaxation and practice. A beautiful fusion of Greek and Balinese styled property, the villas are set amongst beautiful lush foliage and ancient olive trees, with a panoramic outlook towards the Ionian Sea. The retreat centre nestles discreetly against the mountainside boasting stunning views of the many small Greek islands.
About the retreat
Lisa O’Connell, founder of Serendipity Yoga and Yoga Teacher Sally Talal have come together to offer you the space to reset and re-balance, finding harmony back within. Join us for a 5 night, 6 day all inclusive, luxury yoga retreat in this magical place - Ready to nurture the seeds of flowing through a life that serves, nourishes and sustains you!
Retreats carry the immense power of creating change, within us and around us. It is in these moments where great impact arises, a shift is sensed and one experiences pure stillness where all else ceases to exist and we are simply present within the spaciousness of time… finding harmony back to our centre, to the feeling of arriving back to that home within. The more we amplify these moments, the easier it will be to bring ourselves back home… The more we will find it in everywhere we look, in everything that we do, everything we say and be able to anchor ourselves in that, in that moment where we drop into our breath, into that feeling that triggered the upsurge of love within.
This will be a time for you to restore, relax, rejuvenate and find balance and harmony in your life.
A time to reflect and a time to heal.
A time to nurture planted seeds and allow them to blossom, awakening into the Summer season!
