Nostos, meaning 'homecoming' in Ancient Greek, will Bex’s my sixth retreat on Kefalonia - an island he has grown to truly love as a home away from home.
THE WHAT: Seven nights of yoga, community and connection
THE WHEN: Saturday 3rd - Saturday 10th July 2027
THE WHERE: The wonderful Vericoco Retreat, on the Ionian island of Kefalonia - home to the most incredible beaches, the mythic Mount. Ainos and sweet fishing villages such as Fiskardo, Ammos and Argostoli,
THE WHY: This is a rare invitation to really delve deeper into your practice as well as be held in community, to find a sense of home within self. Our lives and world are so busy, that even when we are at home, our mind is often elsewhere. Nostos is a rare opportunity to land, we'll dedicate space to self, and my hope is that through movement, breathwork, meditation & journalling, nourishing food, you find a homecoming within yourself.
