91. Yoga Retreat in Authentic Montanema, Agrafa-Lake Plastira, Dec. 2024

Yoga Retreat Montnanema

For the 6th year, we enjoyed our yoga retreat amidst the magic of nature in the mountainous Agrafa, at a place we consider our home: Montanema Handmade Village. Every year is different and full of surprises. In December 2024, we had the chance to experience a cinematic setting, with clouds drifting into the Anthochori gorge and a landscape drenched in green, overlooking the white mountain peaks.

At the Spa, we had the special experience of a sound bath healing; we also made handmade soaps, rolled traditional phyllo dough, and went hiking by the river, with warm soup waiting for us at “Konaki.”

Our themed practices were intended to ensure we had an exciting time, leaving behind the world that drives us crazy through a technique centered on responsibility, forgiveness, gratitude, and love. By practicing this technique, we essentially heal the part within us that created the shared reality outside of us. Given that we are all one and everything is one, we are all co-creators of the reality in which we live.

It is a simple technique that liberates us from all kinds of negative emotions and any destructive habits we may have held onto. It requires no formal training or teacher. All you need is a quiet place, about 15-20 minutes, an open mind, and a willing heart.

Try closing your eyes and repeating these 4 phrases 7 to 8 times: “I am sorry,” “Please forgive me,” “Thank you,” “I love you.
