rest & rise Retreat
in greece
September 19 – 26, 2026
A Women's Wellness Retreat
Because we need restoration, rest, and return to ourselves,
So we can rise differently. Stronger. Clearer. More grounded
Seven nights to step away from the busyness of life, slow down, reconnect with yourself, and return home feeling lighter, clearer, renewed, and closer to God.
Memories from my 2025 Serenity in Greece Retreat
When was the last time you felt light?
Not productive. Not responsible. Not needed by everyone.
Just… light.
If you’ve forgotten what joy feels like.
If you’re not even sure who you are anymore in the middle of life, responsibilities, and constant doing, this retreat was created for you!
Rest & Rise is a seven-night pause in Greece.
Not to escape your life, but to remember yourself inside it.
Surrounded by the sea, simple island living, and space to breathe, you’ll slow down enough to hear your own thoughts again.
You’ll laugh.
You may cry.
You’ll release what feels heavy and reconnect with what truly matters.
Through gentle workshops, mindfulness practices, honest conversations, meaningful connection, and beautiful cultural experiences, you’ll begin to feel like yourself again.
You will rest.
You will rise.
And you will return home lighter and grounded in who you are, not just what you do.
Life in Agistri
Imagine yourself waking up to a peaceful island morning.
Enjoying a delicious homemade Greek breakfast and coffee.
Starting the day slowly, with calm, sunshine, and nowhere to rush.
Nothing rushed. Nothing complicated.
Just simple, peaceful island living.
This is where we slow down.
Where we breathe deeper.
Where we finally have space to think… and feel again.
Our days will be light, joyful, and meaningful.
We’ll gather for thoughtfully designed daily mindfulness workshops at the beautiful and authentic "Saronis Hotel", where we will be staying, along with soft somatic stretching by the beach.
We’ll share fresh, homemade Greek meals together.
We’ll hike and explore the island at a relaxed pace.
We will visit monasteries and churches in Agistri and Aegina
We’ll enjoy moments of art, music, and creativity.
We’ll spend a full day discovering the beauty of Aegina and its pistachio fields.
We’ll journal.
We’ll talk.
We’ll laugh.
And yes… there will be real free time.
Time to swim.
Time to rest.
Time to wander the island streets or sit by the sea with a coffee.
Nothing forced.
Nothing overwhelming.
No pressure to perform.
Just space to reflect, grow, and reconnect with yourself.
We’ll enjoy Greece the way it’s meant to be enjoyed, good food, local music, long walks by the sea, maybe a little dancing… and definitely a lot of laughter.
Evenings will be calm and full of connection.
Agistri is one of those hidden Greek gems.
Quiet. Authentic. Beautiful without trying too hard.
And sometimes that’s exactly what we need…
a place that allows us to soften,
so we can rise again.
This is your chance to step away from the busyness of life, slow down, and truly savor the present moment.
To return home renewed, joyful, and more connected to who you really are.
Let the beauty of Greece, its sea, its music, the simple moments, the honest and genuine connections,
guide you into a space of deep rest and quiet transformation.
A place where you soften…
and then rise.

Ghada Elias
Certified Life & Mindfulness Coach
After the beautiful success of our 2025 Greece retreat, where women left feeling lighter and more like themselves again, I knew I had to offer this experience again.
I created this retreat because I know what it feels like to live in survival mode. To carry so much. To be strong for everyone else. To forget what it feels like to simply be happy.
Greece became the place where I could slow down. Where I could breathe deeper. Where I could hear my own thoughts again. It reminded me that I am more than my responsibilities.
As a certified life and mindfulness coach, and single mom of two, including a son with autism, everything I teach comes from real life. I don’t teach perfection. I teach tools that help you calm your mind, reconnect to yourself, and find joy again in simple moments. I simply live what I teach...
This retreat is a safe space to rest. To laugh. To cry if you need to.
To let your guard down. To remember who you are beyond the stress.
It’s not just a trip.
It’s a chance to feel like yourself again.
Meet The co-Leader adriana reyes
Certified Stretch Therapist & Yoga Teacher
Hi, I’m Adriana.
My life is rooted in faith, family, and movement. I have a deep love for stretching, for the outdoors, and for the simple joys in life, whether that’s spending time at the gym, playing with my two dachshunds or exploring the world with my partner.
I am a certified stretch therapist and yoga teacher. What began as a personal practice became a calling. I discovered that my true passion lies in helping people feel their absolute best in their bodies. Stretching transformed my own life. Improving not just my flexibility, but my posture, my recovery, my stress levels, and my overall sense of balance.
I believe our bodies are gifts, and caring for them allows us to show up more fully in every area of our lives. It's truly a privilege to support others in moving better, feeling lighter, and experiencing that same transformation for themselves.
Blessings
