Nature and the Five Elements in Crete
April 24-30, 2026
My dear Russian friend Nadija and I are cooking up a deeply soul-nourishing women's retreat for next April. We will stay in the ancient city of Chania, which was an important Venetian outpost in the 16th century, and spend most of our time in nature - by the sea, in the forest, in the mountains.
Nadija makes her own essential oils and teaches a 9-month journey for Russian students called Aromapoint Mastery. She is an amazing hand drummer (with a drum she built under guidance from a shaman in the Crimea), speaks nearly perfect English, and is a thoughtful and intuitive old soul with many gifts to offer.
We are envisioning this retreat as soul-nourishing nature communion and joyful connection among women from Russia and countries of the west.
Stay tuned for more information!
