For the 5th year, a Yoga Retreat on a beloved island. Yoga practices with a view of Hytra and daily excursions to breathtaking parts of the island. Stunning beaches, unique landscapes, incredible food, waterfalls, and the picturesque Chora.
In Kythira, and specifically on the islet of Hytra, you find the small yellow flower Sempreviva. Its name comes from the Italian word “sempre,” meaning “always,” and the verb “vivere,” meaning “to live.” In a free translation, it means the flower that “lives forever.” The Venetian conquerors gave this name to the small, everlasting flower that looks dried and preserves its color for many years without any water! In reality, what is preserved forever is not the tiny blossom itself, which withers, but the small, yellow straw-like leaves that surround it.
This flower is a symbol of eternal love. Its oil has been used since antiquity in perfumes and cosmetics and possesses antibacterial properties. Sempreviva is also known as Helichrysum, while some call it Amaranth (the Everlasting).
The beauty of the wild Sempreviva, with its intense golden-yellow color growing on the steep cliffs of the Greek countryside, is unique. It reminds us of the treasures of the Greek land and the priceless gifts of nature, inspiring thematic practices for the opening of the heart (Anahata Chakra).
Testimonials
Together with Fotini, we finally found the Kythira we were looking for! We found it in our souls, our energy, and our auras, all understood through the dreamlike flow of the Strawberry Full Moon. Another moment—or many moments together—in time. Yet another experience with Fotini and the wonderful group we created. — M.K.
I won’t talk about the wonderful places you choose… I won’t talk about the wonderful organization… I won’t discuss the wonderful atmosphere… the amazing yoga classes… or our amazing teacher. I will simply say that above all else, Petros and Fotini, you are wonderful human beings!! I love you. — F.X.
Fotini and Petros, congratulations on the organization and the choice of location. I believe the magic recipe was the combination of the stunning location for the practice and Fotini’s guidance as a yoga instructor. Although it was a short period, it was enough to start and complete a yoga cycle that had all the necessary elements. Fotini was so inspiring that certain poses I struggled with, I eventually mastered by the end. This five-day break was exceptionally rejuvenating and wonderful. Thank you so much. — A.P.

I leave the retreat full of emotions, faces, images, sounds, voices, and “mists” [referring to the refreshing spray during practice]. Smiles and conversations. Thank you for everything. Until we meet again. — A.K.
