This is a truly magical and transformational immersion into your Soul through the Chakras. This unique journey of self-care and self-love will connect you to your Soul, nourish your spirit, and leave you inspired, empowered and deeply transformed.

THE EXPERIENCE

Our retreat site is on the island of Santorini at a serene luxury boutique hotel, the Rocabella Santorini Resort – conveniently located near the village of Imerovigli at the top of the island with beautiful panoramic views– and in between two quintessential island towns – Oia and Fira. just 2.5 miles north of Fira and 4 miles south of Oia.

The island of Santorini is the remnant of a caldera (volcano) after one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history (the Minoan eruption) that destroyed the earliest settlements on a formerly single island, and created the current geological caldera. This eruption happened just 3,600 years ago and very likely led to the collapse of the ancient Minoan civilization on the island of Crete through a gigantic tsunami, and this eruption also may be the source of the legend of Atlantis.

These days, Santorini is simply one the most wonderful vacation destinations in the world. We have the best views of the sunset and sea as the resort is situated atop the cliffs where you will see the giant central, lagoon that fills the caldera, surrounded by 980-foot-high cliffs on three sides. The backside of the island slopes downward to the Aegean Sea. On the opposite side of the lagoon, you will see a much smaller island called Therasia. Every night is a truly unforgettable experience watching the sunset.

THE RESORT

This state of the art 5-star resort, situated on top of an impressive cliff, offering panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and a spectacular view over the volcano of Palia and Nea Kameni and the island of Thirassia.

The picturesque all white resort is unrivaled in its accommodations, views and totally blissed out location. Relax and enjoy wine and sunsets from every viewpoint of this resort, take a dip at one of the three pools, enjoy their incredible buffet Spa breakfasts each day, lunch at the resort’s poolside restaurant, unwind with a massage or spa treatment, visit local wineries, go to the nearby beaches, hike to the town of Fira, or take a short journey into Oia, the most famous Greek island village with charming row-houses in narrow cobblestone streets, blue domed churches, and sun-bathed verandas to enjoy plenty of tourist shops, taverns and cafes. The staff is there to accommodate your needs. This is a luxurious experience to pamper yourself that you will never forget.
