Breathwork Retreat in Greece
5-Day Breathwork & Plant Spirit Retreat in Ikaria – Blue Zone Island of Greece, October 15 to 19
Immerse yourself in the healing power of breath, nature, and community on the sacred island of Ikaria—one of the world’s rare Blue Zones, where longevity and vitality are a way of life. Surrounded by mountains, crystal-clear waters, and the serenity of local villages, this retreat is an invitation to return to your essence.
This immersive experience is divided into two parts, giving you the freedom to choose the path that resonates most with you—or combine both for a complete transformational journey.
Part 1: Breathwork Intensive (4 Days / 3 Nights)
Experience powerful breathwork practices, including Holotropic-style Breathwork, Rebirthing, Chakra Balancing & Healing, and Partner Breathwork, designed to release stored tension, regulate the nervous system, deepen self-awareness, and awaken your innate healing potential.
Your journey is enriched with yoga, meditation, art and movement practices, a heart-opening cacao ceremony, singing circles with our special guest from Peru, nourishing vegetarian meals prepared by a renowned local chef using fresh, local ingredients, and the support of a like-minded community in a safe and inspiring environment.
Part 2: Sacred Plant Medicine Ceremony (1 Day / 1 Night)
Complete your journey with a deeply held Sacred Plant Medicine Ceremony, offering an opportunity for profound healing, expanded awareness, and spiritual connection in a safe and supportive setting. Guided with reverence and care, this sacred ceremony invites deep inner insight, emotional healing, and spiritual connection, serving as a powerful continuation and integration of the breathwork journey.
An additional one-day integration experience after the ceremony is available for those who wish to deepen their process, receive further support, and gently integrate the insights and transformations from the ceremony before returning home.

Antonis Kapnisis will be our chef for the 4-day Breathwork Retreat in Greece. With over 20 years of culinary experience, and the last 6 years as head chef in one of Ikaria’s most renowned restaurants, Antonis brings both expertise and passion to the table.
He is deeply inspired by the richness of Mediterranean cuisine, rooted in olive oil, fresh fruits, vegetables, and legumes. In recent years, Antonis has been also catering for holistic events, creating nourishing vegan and vegetarian meals that support healing, connection, and well-being.

Originally from Peru, Jadhid embodies the ancestral wisdom of his lineage, carrying within him the deep connection to the earth, spirit, and sacred traditions of his homeland.
His profound spiritual curiosity led him to a deep connection with music and an ongoing journey of self-discovery. As both a musician and a seeker, his path is rooted in authenticity and heart.
He travels across Spain offering transpersonal gatherings that weave together ancient and modern practices — including the use of master plants, guided meditations, medicine music concerts, and mantras.
Through his presence and voice, Jadhid opens sacred spaces where participants are invited to reconnect with their essence, expand their consciousness, and heal.
✨ There is nothing more beautiful than truly knowing oneself — and Jadhid gently guides others on that path, using music as medicine and the breath as a bridge to the soul.

Attending a Transformative Breathwork Retreat in Greece offers a profound and holistic approach.
Nestled on the northern coast of Ikaria, Armenistis is the island’s premier seaside village, where lush pine forests meet the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea. Blending Ikaria’s legendary slow pace of life with authentic Greek charm, it offers the perfect balance of tranquility, nature, and breathtaking beauty. Ideally situated between the rugged northern mountains and the sea, Armenistis is home to some of the island’s most beautiful golden-sand beaches, including Livadi and Mesakti, making it the perfect setting to slow down, reconnect with nature, and immerse yourself in the healing spirit of one of the world’s rare Blue Zone islands.
During the retreat, you will be served delicious vegan and vegetarian meals, crafted with care to nourish both body and soul. Our menu is inspired by the rich culinary traditions of Ikaria, using fresh, local products from the island—vegetables, herbs, and grains grown naturally in the surrounding gardens.
A special highlight of your retreat experience will be the inclusion of famous Ikarian honey, celebrated for its unique flavor and natural health benefits. Each meal is thoughtfully prepared to support your energy, enhance your well-being, and complement the inner work of breathwork, yoga, and meditation.
Our meals are more than food—they are a ritual of nourishment, connecting you to the rhythms of the island and the essence of Ikarian longevity.
The retreat takes place at the charming Daidalos Hotel, a traditionally built cliffside retreat nestled among cedar trees in the picturesque village of Armenistis.
