Connect Retreat in Serifos, Greece Recap - Eyia Retreats

Connect Retreat was all about reconnecting and strengthening the connection between yourself and someone you care about. We all have that one person whom we crave more connection with and we all know that life is short and relationships are one of the most precious things we have in this world. This retreat was a beautiful time to reconnect, bond, laugh, and grow together in one of the most beautiful places on earth, the Greek Islands.

Connect Retreat was one-of-a-kind as it was the perfect blend of all of the wonderful parts of a couple’s retreat without it being only for those in romantic partnerships.This retreat was for anyone from siblings, to parent and child relationships, to best friends, to romantic partners. It was all about creating the right environment to share  a few days of full presence with a special person. We were focused on building connection primarily through light-hearted fun.

This retreat was not couples therapy, a serious or heavy experience, or an acro-yoga workshop. This was a connection retreat with deep connection as well as light-hearted silliness, bonding and feeling closer to the person you attended with, sharing things you normally do not share including experiences, places, ideas, thoughts, and feelings.

Through yoga and meditation we go in touch with ourselves, took care of ourselves, and promoted self love and acceptance in order to connect at a deeper level. Connect Retreat was also about having fun and enjoying life to the fullest. We had fun excursions and adventures, too. It was an active and rejuvenating holiday.

Our retreaters got to honor a cherished relationship (friendship, family, romantic) through a curated experience that left them feeling closer to their person than ever before, rejuvenated on a soul-level, and with memories to last a lifetime.

Meet the hosts: Teresa and Ruben have been married 34 years and found common ground through yoga. They started practicing partner yoga at home, and experienced so much fun and connection that they brought that practice to their students. Now, they bring that connection to the next level by offering this retreat.

Connect Retreat is different from your average vacation because our retreaters had a team dedicated to looking after them and taking the guesswork out of the vacation planning process.

Serifos island, our retreat location, is a beautiful off the beaten path island in the Cyclades Islands. It has maintained its natural landscape and beauty, which is one of the many reasons we love it. 

We stayed at a boutique hotel that overlooks the sea with views of the Chora (extra special at night). Most of our meals were served there and were absolutely delicious. We also had access to the hotel pool, and our classes were in a beautiful stone protected yoga/movement space. Our accommodations were in a spacious and bright apartment with a traditional Cycladic feel but a modern design. We were only a ten minute walk from a gorgeous beach and a five minute drive from the port, which has restaurants, shops, and bars.
