The Happiness Retreat concept
The Happiness Retreat is an invitation into a powerful life transformation.
Combining Greece's ancient healing traditions with the practices of Yoga, Dance, Song, Circle, and Ritual in the blessed sacred land of the Gods, our retreats create a holistic life-changing experience, seeing every individual as a unification of body, mind, and soul.
Envisioned by its founder Apostolia Papadamaki, an internationally acclaimed choreographer, spiritual thinker, healer & teacher, THR offers an open-hearted and powerful "technology" to transmit to people the tools to create their own pathway to happiness.
Being a visionary artist, a polymath and an inspiring teacher, Apostolia is sharing generously her knowledge, experience, and insightful guidance, with all the beautiful souls that are joining our thematic retreats as well as our tailor-made corporate yoga and wellness retreats.
We design our itineraries with abundant inspiration and playfulness in off the beaten track and off-the-mat destinations in Greece, the land of philosophers, myths, magnificent monuments, natural wonders, and profound energy places.
Our participants are mesmerized by the ancient history, the local life and nature as they blend in with local artists and inhabitants and learn stories about our cultural heritage. Our meticulously woven travel journeys rejuvenate the physical body, elevate the spirit and reveal the stem of all human emotions: Happiness!
Eudaimonia, the ancient Greek word for Happiness, literally means to achieve harmony between the physical and the emotional state, to gain clarity and see your ideal self, to embody living in synchronicity with your inner spirit so you can be happy and become the best human you can be.
That's exactly our "arete", our excellence of any kind. So our idea about how we create Happiness is not only about feeling joyful but about living an authentic and meaningful life.
In your inner spirit or soul maybe there is a part of you that is a creator or a healer or a communicator. To reach happiness, you need to unify with this part and nourish it so you can flourish and reach your full potential.
As you awaken your senses in breathtaking therapeutical and rejuvenating locations, enjoy bespoke accommodation, nourish your health with creative Greek dishes mindfully prepared with seasonal and organic ingredients, at the same time you expand your conscious self and establish an intimate relationship with you!
Join our Happiness Circle of like-minded humans that are taking a leap of faith into creating their own pathway to happiness. Looking forward to welcoming you to one of our miraculous Happiness Retreats!
