Amanda’s Story: How this Retreat came to life
One year ago, September 2022, I boarded the ferry from Athens to the island of Serifos where I’d find my retreat hosts and fellow travelers to embark on and document a weeklong wellness retreat. iPhone in my hand and my camera on my shoulder, I was posted on top deck of the seaferry breathing in all the wonder that the Aegan Sea is and documenting the details of the enchanting Cycladic island we landed upon, until I heard the captain on loudspeaker: “we are now departing Serifos, destination Milos. ”
Departing Serifos? But I didn’t get off yet..
I had been so engaged in the moment and documenting from the top deck that in fact, I had missed my very stop. One very humbling conversation with the ferry director later and I was told I’d be making the entire day’s journey with the ferry until they could return me back to Serifos that evening. What should have been an hour and half journey turned into a nearly 7 hour journey to my final destination. This is about the time when the old programming started coming up.. You know that mental chatter murmuring lies of personal failure and the cost of ridiculous mistakes from having my head in the clouds (read: in my camera). But it was in that same moment, the louder thought prevailed- I remembered I had a choice: I could choose to be upset with myself for missing the stop, or I could choose to be open to the unfolding of this day, unexpected detours and all.
As the ferry landed at Milos, I continued to peer off from top deck and said to myself, the next time I return to this island, it will be with purpose and intention. And with my camera by my side, I couldn’t resist capturing these moments. The islands passing by outside became my subjects, and the ever-changing scenery presented itself as a series of breathtaking snapshots.
You see, something happens when you’re surrounded by those Aegean blue waters – something enchanting and energetic – you can’t help but feel limitless and inspired.
It struck me then that life, much like this unplanned journey, is a constant ebb and flow of unexpected moments. We often hold onto what’s supposed to be, but most often, the real magic happens when we let go and allow ourselves to enjoy the divine order of things.
One year later, as I prepare to co-host the purposeful Seeing Deeply Retreat with Eyia Retreats, I can’t help but be humbled and moved by the divine order of things. This adventure you are about to embark on, is the manifestation of that divine day and I cannot wait to live this out with you.

So we charted forward. It was a simple resolution, but it carried a deeper significance. With every nautical mile passing, I feel deeper and deeper in love with the experience from that top deck, alone in my solitude, letting the warm Aegan sun graze my tangled hair, observing fellow passengers on their own personal journeys as we sailed along.

Meet Your Retreat Co-Leader Katrina Paraskevopoulos
Hi friend! It’s so great to have you here. My name is Katrina and I’m the Founder and Director of Eyia Retreats. I met Amanda through our lovely network of Instagram when I was seeking an aligned photographer for a retreat I was hosting in 2022 (photo of me taken by her on the island of Serifos). Someone (who we are deeply grateful for) shared Eyia Retreats with her and the rest is history!
We shared an incredible retreat experience and I had no idea that we would eventually be co-creating this transformational retreat for you.
When I planted the seeds with Amanda about this retreat concept, the ideas kept flowing and we knew we had to share this experience with you. And so, the first ever Seeing Deeply retreat was born.
I would love to share a little more about myself and how I can help you during your magical week in Milos.
I’m Greek-American and grew up traveling to Greece in the summer from my home in California. I believe that Greece has the ability to heal every worry, relieve deep tension, bring comfort to your belly, and connect you to the abundance of your life. I love sharing Greece and cannot wait to show you one of the islands I love, Milos.
My background is in wellness, psychology, & neuroscience, and I love to support people by helping them connect to their true self, heal what’s in their way of living a life of peace and happiness, and create their dream life! I’m also the founder of Eyia Wellness, supporting companies and organizations to build a positive and engaged culture through wellness.
More on Amanda’s Story
Just one year ago, I was welcomed to the unique opportunity to both experience and document that pivotal retreat Kat was co-hosting on the Greek Island of Serifos. It’s difficult to put into words the profound transformation that happened for me on that journey, but thankfully I have a body of work that I created while there that pulls me back into that time and time again.
You see, I’ve been a high-preforming photographer creating in the commercial and advertising space for well over a decade now. And as a former art school graduate, I have been through several seasons in my life when my soul simply did not feel aligned with the unique gift I knew I held. Long before to using a camera as my tool for creating art, I was using large scale canvases and paint brushes. Like you, I have been aware of my artistic gift since a young age. But over time, as life and experience does, I felt the authentic inner creator in me slip down deeper. That voice never stops calling us, and sometimes it is screaming for us to reconnect. Sound familiar? There have been plenty of seasons I’ve ignored the calling, other seasons I attempted to step into the rediscovering -though never fully arriving as I held onto self-limiting beliefs and a debilitating scarcity mindset. That is until I simply had enough of the resistance and began to welcome transformation through a series of experiences – one such as the retreat I journeyed alongside with Kat.
Through reconnecting with myself and reigniting my inner creator, I now am fully enjoying a life where I feel I am aligned- mind, body, spirit and art. All the while maintaining a career in photography and running a business in the commercial space that still feels authentic, poetic and expressive.
As you read my story above on my unexpected journey to the island of Milos, you will know this retreat, Seeing Deeply, is a manifestation of being in a flow state and trusting in alignment. It is my absolute desire to embark on this journey with you and illuminate the gift of seeing deeply together.

Your Time in Milos
Day 1: Welcome!
Day 2 & 3: Art of Seeing
Each morning you can begin your day with an optional sunrise.
As a group, we start the day together with morning movement & meditation, guided by Kat.
As you begin feeling so good and alive.. You innately feel that connection again.
These first days will be dedicated to Art of Seeing.
Through experiences curated by Amanda, you will embark on the rediscovery of your own unique creative vision. Along the way, discovering what has been holding you back, how and when that inner magic started locking up because as Amanda says, in order to break through, we must break in. Together, we will explore with and without our tools and will have many chances to come together to connect and share through this profound experience.
During the day, you will have a mix of free time and group activity including our beach day.
Day 4 & 5: Exploring with Mindfulness
These days are all about Exploring with Mindfulness: where you will continue to explore your inner world, going deeper now, and allowing your voice and vision to come through.
Imagine meditating on the beach to the sound of the small waves from the beautiful cove of Pollonia each morning. There is something mystical about this island and the Aegean waters will inspire and lead us back to limitless feeling and creation.
We will continue to enjoy slow breakfast time and have a chance to wander the small streets of Plaka at the perfect hour to create and capture.
We will also set sail for our private boat day to an incredible spot in Milos that can only be reached by boat, Kleftiko. You get to decide how you want to experience this.
Day 6: Art of Being Seen
This will be a transformational day dedicated to the Art of Being Seen. With the understanding that in order to effectively share our gift with the word and connect with our audience, we must first connect with ourselves. We will ask the questions, how am I showing up in the world?
This day will also include a transformational workshop on your vision and goals.
Day 7: Closing
Depart Milos with a new community of lifelong allies, a clear vision and the ability to see deeply again.
