A long weekend in the Greek summer to slow down, cook with your hands, and reconnect to your senses. Gather around a shared table, explore the land, and rediscover the pleasure of simple things.

Outdoor Dining Setup

  • Cooking together with seasonal ingredients

  • Foraging and connecting to the land

  • Long, shared meals at sunset

  • Live music with traditional instruments

  • Morning yoga and slow starts

  • Time to rest, swim, and explore

  • Optional massages and bodywork

What you'll experience

Not just a cooking workshop

This is not about mastering recipes or perfection.
It’s about slowing down, tuning into your senses, and experiencing food as something lived — not just made.
A space for presence, pleasure, and connection.

Leading the retreat

Your host is a globally trained chef whose journey spans restaurants, retreat centres, and intimate culinary gatherings. Rooted in a deep love for Mediterranean food and seasonal ingredients, her approach blends technique with intuition, and nourishment with pleasure. With a background in environmental studies, she brings a conscious relationship to the land, while her yoga training in India infuses the experience with presence and care. Drawing also from her work as an art curator, she shapes each retreat as a living, sensory experience.
