Offered twice a year — in spring and autumn — Sailing Your Inspiration is a 7-day soul-deep journey of self-discovery, regeneration, and reconnection.
More than a retreat, this is a return home — to your body, your heart, and the healing power of the sea. Together, we sail from island to island, navigating the turquoise waters of the Aegean while exploring the inner tides of life, held in a safe and heart-centered group.
Blending the art of sailing with yoga, breathwork, meditation, and embodiment practices, each journey invites you to anchor into presence and the joy of simply being. Through daily movement, nature connection, and heart-body-soul nourishment, we awaken a deeper sense of vitality, aliveness, and embodiment.
Guided by the wind, we learn to dance with nature’s rhythm — discovering the ease, beauty, and unexpected moments of awe that unfold when we surrender to the flow of life.
Whether you’re called to Regenerate, (Re)connect, or simply remember the magic within you — this experience stays with you long after the sails are lowered. Are you ready to answer the call of the sea?
This retreat is an invitation to enter your own cycle of regeneration — supported, seen, and held in a nurturing and transformative space.
We’ll begin each day in sacred silence, moving through intentional morning practices — breath, movement, meditation — guided by a daily theme rooted in nature’s cycles. From sprouting seeds to composting wisdom, we embrace the ebbs and flows, trusting the process of renewal.
Alongside shared meals, group circles, and restorative evening practices, we create fertile ground for inner growth. Sailing with the elements, we return to the joy of simply being — together, with nature, and in ourselves.
This retreat invites you to return to a more conscious way of relating and being.
Each day a different element guides us on a journey of self-exploration and embodiment as we align with nature’s rhythms and return to inner balance and harmony.
Through breath, movement, and meditation, we reconnect to the intuitive wisdom of our bodies and deepen our capacity to embody all elements of self.
Held by the water day in and day out, we’ll honor the Earth's gifts through intentional cooking, immerse ourselves in the beauty of the Greek islands and gently (re)connect more deeply with nature and ourselves.

I hold space for self-exploration and heart-expansion through deep connection with nature. My work draws from decades of travel and teachings ranging from therapeutic recreation, permaculture, intuitive touch & movement, Theta Healing, Earth Healing and creative visualization. This is my third time co-facilitating this transformative sailing retreat. I offer a grounded, gentle presence to guide and support your unfolding into wholeness—restoring your natural state as a being of nature.
I deeply believe in the power of connecting conscious movement and breath to cultivate presence and connection. With over 10 years of yoga practice and a 200h teacher training from India, it is my honour to guide you into moments of tuning into the wisdom and resource of your body. I'm also passionate about food! In 2024, I co-founded Studio Schlemmer, a plant-based culinary collective creating seasonal, nourishing experiences that reconnect us to body, earth, and culture.
For over 25 years, I’ve supported people through trauma and deep healing processes. I lead transformational retreats in sacred sites throughout the Mediterranean and founded Sailing Your Inspiration in 2020. I work with Earth healing, including Gaia Touch practices learned directly from Marko Pogačnik (published through my company, Geniusloci Publishing). As a certified NLMM teacher, I weave movement, meditation, and quantum-based methods into a unique path of embodied transformation.
