7 DAYS OF DEVOTION: MIND - BODY - SPIRIT

03.06.26 - 09.06.26

Hosted by Mana Mei

Join a deeply immersive retreat in Pelion, Greece, where movement, nature, and feminine connection come together in a powerful 7-day experience. This is an invitation to return to your true self, reconnect with the wisdom of your body, awaken your spirit, and remember who you are.

Set in a breathtaking ancient landscape, this retreat offers a unique opportunity to step into a co-created journey of embodiment, healing, and transformation. Through guided experiences, you will explore expansive somatic journeys, daily Mana Movement practices, and integrative nature embodiment sessions, all while deepening into sacred sisterhood with women from around the world.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

This retreat is designed for women who are already walking a path of self-devotion through self-care, personal development, honest self-inquiry, and inner exploration. It is also for those who feel called to use dance and movement as a pathway for transformation, artistic expression, and healing.

It welcomes women who want to deepen their intentional movement practice, expand their movement vocabulary, and gain practical tools they can carry into daily life. It is also for those ready to reconnect with movement as a regular ritual and devotional practice, and for women who are open to co-creating a space of non-judgment, softness, and shared support.
