Let your light shine retreat

rebecca hajek | 16-21 JUNE | antiparos, GREECE

THE EXPERIENCE

Welcome to our Let your Light Shine Retreat, your summer meeting with a brighter, lighter, freer self.

This is a 5 night, 6 day experience held on the beautiful island of Antiparos - a small island in the southern Aegean, at the heart of the Cyclades. On ancient land, surrounded by cerulean blue waters we gather to support the soul, the body and the mind. We take time out to tune in.

And in tuning we remember that our natural flow state is joy and ease.

We give into the flow…

With nature

With the elements

With sacred movement

With rest

With laughter

With dance

With our breath.

With compassion, commitment and community, let’s come home to the highest expression of who we are. We need it and our world needs it. I’ll see you in June.

Rebecca Hajek, a world traveler & inspiring yogi, will be leading a well-rounded yoga schedule, blending a strong vinyasa style class alongside a more intricate exploration of proper alignment and therapeutics of the postures. The humble simplicity of Antiparos, along with our hillside location and a carefully curated program of island adventure await for you to shine & glow!

another island antiparos

Another Island is a collection of five private houses located on the southern tip of Antiparos in Agios Georgios. Their privileged location up on the hill offers an overwhelming view of the Aegean Archipelago, the uninhabited island of Despotiko and the Ancient Sanctuary of Apollo in a safe haven from the elements.

Although the houses are blessed with the privacy and serenity of the hill, they are just 15’ walk away from the sea, and the vibrancy of the southern beaches of Antiparos. Each house offers an uninterrupted view to the Aegean Sea, magical gazes to the night sky away from light pollution, and the unmatched silence of protected bay.

YOGA with rebecca

Rebecca Hajek: Rebecca is an international yoga teacher (500RYT). She has been studying yoga and meditation for over 20 years. She did her training at Pure Yoga 10 years ago in NYC and taught there and at Yoga Vida, Alo Yoga and One Yoga House Bk and Montauk. She considers her biggest influences and teachers to be Yogi Charu, Ragunath Cappo and Kausthuba Das. 

Yoga Asana & Special Classes:

• Morning Yoga: Expect a strong vinyasa inspired flow designed available for all levels of practice followed by some pranayama, kriyas and a meditation.

• Afternoon Practice: Post activities and time in the sun will have us feeling pretty chill so the afternoon classes will be more hatha and slow flow inspired followed by yoga nidra - a relaxation technique.

• New Moon Manifestation Workshop: The energy of the New Moon encourages us to plant the seeds we want to see blossom in our lives. The fact that the energy of the moon is powerful enough to literally move the mighty ocean is something to take note of. We, too, can use the energies of the lunar phases in our lives to bring about great change. When we sync our lives to the lunar cycle, we are setting ourselves up for pure magic. We begin to realize that we have the power within to manifest the life of our dreams.

  In this 2 hour workshop during the New moon we will move our bodies in a lunar flow followed by some journaling, breathwork, meditation and a sacred sound journey.

• Yin / Restorative: Yin yoga is characterized by longer held postures that targets the connective tissue to improve flexibility and joint stability.

Teacher’s note: Rebecca recognizes that during a retreat, when there are other activities throughout the day, the practice needs to reflect and balance out the group dynamic, personal needs and the local environment, as well as offering a physical challenge.

THE ESSENCE OF TRUE FOOD

Our Antiparos nutrition is a carefully curated blend of island tastes and vegetarian diet catered by our food experts. The team uses the freshest daily produce from Antiparos and the nearby islands to bring each meal to life. Our aim is to offer not only a yogic food experience to our guests but also a real taste of Greek culture and community that transcends every gathering and food sharing.

TRAVEL INFO

Getting to Antiparos

Even though Antiparos is a separate island, it depends on its big sister Paros for connection to the rest of the world, thought the port of Pounda. Paros is very well connected to Athens in two ways:

by air: Direct flights from Athens take less than 40' and are currently run by two airlines, Aegean Airlines and SkyExpress.

From Antiparos port, transfers are included in the retreat cost.

by ferry: fast and efficient ferry services connecting the main port of Paros (Paroikia) with Athens run year-round, and with even greater frequency in the summer months. It is also easy to reach many other Aegean islands from Paros by ferry (e.g. Mykonos, Santorini, Naxos, Patmos, Sifnos). You may use viva.gr to check the ferries schedule and book your boat tickets online.

From the Paroikia port, transfers are included in the retreat cost, about 10-15 minutes away.

Crossing from Pounda to Antiparos is very easy: ferries generally run every 45 minutes (throughout the day) or 1 hour (at night) in the summer months. The actual crossing takes only 5 minutes and tickets can be bought on the ferry - no need to book in advance. Cars can easily be driven onto the ferry. For an up-to-date schedule click here.

We advise our guests to allow one day prior and after the retreat for their travelling and book flexible or refundable plane tickets. You may use viva.gr to check the ferries schedule and book your boat tickets online.

*Flights and boat tickets are not included in the retreat prices mentioned above.
