Your Week
Day 1
Ermoupoli to Anassa Village: We shall meet up at the east side of Miaouli Square, Ermoupoli at 4pm and take the transfer to Anassa Village which takes about 20 minutes. We’ll check in on arrival and have time to settle in. We’ll meet early evening for our Opening Circle and then share our first dinner. After dinner there will be a screening of the documentary film “Sensitive-the Untold Story”, for anyone who wishes to attend.
Day 2
After breakfast, we have our first workshop ‘Connection to Self’, with a talk, movement and sharing. After lunch the afternoon is yours to process the morning session, rest, relax or take a walk to the beach. We will then gather for our evening reflection circle followed by dinner.
Day 3
Breakfast. Our workshop “Connection to Nature” will be mid-morning. Following a short talk, we will be going out for a mindful walk in the beautiful land in silence, and having a picnic lunch before returning early afternoon. Again, the rest of the day is yours to spend how you need. Then we’ll meet for our reflection circle and dinner.
Day 4
Breakfast will be followed by the connecting to our creativity morning led by Sophia, of Anassa Village: ‘An Islander’s Scavenger Hunt’ workshop will include a short walk to the beach, followed by a small scavenger’s hunt to inspire your innate creative expression. After the workshop we’ll have lunch, then the rest of the day is yours to spend how you need. We’ll meet for our reflection circle and dinner early evening.
Day 5
This is a free day where you can choose what to do. There will be return taxi transfers to Ermoupoli, for those who wish to spend the day exploring the cultural delights of Syros, with maps and guidance about museums, shops and places for lunch. Or you may decide you just want to relax, take a swim in the pool, process, journal, walk – whatever you feel is right for you. There is the option to book a massage. We will gather for our reflection circle and evening meal as usual.
Day 6
Breakfast. This morning is our Connection to Story workshop. Building on the week’s previous workshops and experiences, we share how taking a journey into your own life’s tapestry can give you a direction for the future by revealing your true selves. Begin to discover innate HSP gifts, inner wisdom and the life you were meant for. Lunch. The evening reflection circle and evening meal as usual.
Day 7
This will be a pre-travel rest day. Your last day in the nourishing and inspiring space of Anassa Village. Breakfast. During the day myself and Tracey will be available for private one-to-one time with you. We’ll meet for our reflection circle which will end with a closing ceremony. After our evening meal we have a ‘Cycladic Experience’ to celebrate our time together at Anassa and Syros.
