THE COACHING IMMERSION RETREAT


A deep, supported and powerful journey into self discovery, clarity of vision and honouring your needs + your desires. A carefully curated retreat experience in a group of brave-hearted womxn to ground you back to yourself, to help you take up space in your life and create meaningful transformation that is sustainable + aligned with your values. All while cocooned in the magical island of Sifnos, surrounded by the Aegean sea.

Here’s the thing. I did not want to create just another yoga retreat. You can find that elsewhere. I am interested in you having the space to access depth, meaning, creativity and unparalleled clarity. To release, soften and hold space for all parts of you. Because, all-of-you is welcomed here.

So I created an experience that will help you remember who you are and what matters to you.

It will connect you to the bits of you that have been numbed and disregarded.

It will challenge and open you up to your heart’s most honest desires.

It will show you what it feels like to lean into joy and beauty.

It will remind you what it feels like in your body to feel safe to receive. To be held.

It may change you. Or it may just help you put the pieces back together.

And -

It will offer you space to reflect, to play and rest. To dive in the healing blues and greens of the sea. To bathe in the sunshine. To take in the view. To read your book by the pool. To move your body in delicious ways. To take a walk and in discovering new paths, to meet new parts of yourself.

To have soul nurturing and heart-buzzing chats with genuine and courageous humans. To nourish your body with freshly cooked, wholesome food and delight in the new tastes. To immerse yourself in the unique nature of our island; slow pace, belly laughs, genuine care

KIND WORDS

“Such a magical week. Thank you to Ariadne, who poured so much of herself into it - that did not go unnoticed by anyone! We were completely supported and held and she went over and above with her energy and kindness and emotional support. And there was a real lightness to the retreat as well. It felt fun and not too serious, and I came away bolstered and feeling inspired and full of passion again.” - Anna

KIND WORDS

“[The retreat] was life-changing. I learned more about myself in that week than ever before, as Ariadne guided us on what I can only describe as one of the most important journeys I’ve ever been on. We challenged ourselves, laughed together, cried together, burned things in the fire, and I left feeling cleansed, lifted, and more sure of myself than I’ve ever been before. I couldn’t recommend Ariadne’s coaching enough and I’m so glad to have her in my life.” - Laura


KIND WORDS

The group of women and Ariadne leading us through the process, was just perfect! It was truly magical to see this group of women come together, who didn’t know each other before, showed up, and opened up to some of their deepest and most vulnerable bits of their life. I felt very honoured to be part of it, and left with a feeling of knowing these women for far longer than the 5/6 days we had just shared.” - Carmen

A *rough* outline of a typical full day is provided below:

Can I come on my own? Who will I share my accommodation with?

Although it will be amazing to come with your friends, a lot of people tend to go on retreats on their own, so don't let that stop you! The retreat is for womxn (including trans and non-binary folk) only, so unless you choose to stay in the single room (only one available), you will be paired with another wonderful womxn.


Can I bring my husband, boyfriend, father, brother, male friend, etc?

I am afraid this event is open only to womxn, which includes trans women, and non-binary folk.
