About this trip

Our Wellness & Kefi Retreat is about letting go, experiencing authentic joy, and resetting your mind & body while connecting to Greek culture.


Kefi, a Greek word that has no exact English equivalent, is a feeling of joy, passion, and spirit that you simply have to be there to feel. This joyful word is our anchor and ethos for this retreat. 


This retreat includes wellness & mind-body practices, including movement, meditation, and journaling. We’ll also have daily group meals (the Mediterranean way!), dinner & drinks in Chora (Serifos’ historic main town), a Greek dance lesson, beach adventures, Greek cultural experiences, inspiring views, and more.


Join us for 5 nights on the beautiful Cycladic island of Serifos

I went into this trip not knowing what to expect. I came out of a shell, that I have been in for so long. This retreat was nothing short of amazing! Our two hosts, Kat and Theodora had the most wonderful wonderful experiences arranged for us. Theodora brought back to life the artist in me, while Kat opened my senses to my spiritual connection I didn't know I had, and needed. This is a retreat to reconnect with yourself and with nature. To be, in every moment. Our mantra for the trip was "I am here now" and it has resonated with me since in my day to day! Our group was special. We were at our most vulnerable and perhaps it was because we may not see one another again. Regardless of the circumstances, our bond was just that. And the friendships continue.... I would encourage anyone to explore this side of themselves. I cannot wait for the next one!

WOW! WOW! WOW! The wedding was magical, the venue was like a fairytale. Everyone came together in this magical Medieval location to celebrate Banzai & Jean. The food was scrumptious, the planning was extraordinary, and Katrina completely mastered this event. I am so happy that I was part of this Exceptional wedding! Congratulations Bsnzsi & Jean!
