This five-day Full Moon Wellness and Sound Healing Retreat on the island of Crete, Greece, is open to all levels. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced practitioner, you will be welcome here, and no prior knowledge of sound healing is needed, as the sessions introduce the fundamentals. It suits anyone who wants to slow down, breathe more deeply and spend a few days with a simple rhythm of practice, nourishing food and time to explore. If you have any injuries or health conditions, it is worth letting the organisers know before you arrive.

The practice draws together several complementary strands. You will move through yoga, pranayama and meditation, then settle into yoga nidra, breathwork and the foundations of sound healing. Journaling exercises are part of the programme, giving you space to reflect on what comes up. Each day closes with a post-sunset sound bath, and at the heart of your stay is a full-moon ceremony, held during the retreat and giving the five days their particular focus.

You will stay in accommodation set in a nature-immersed location on Crete, a calm base from which to practise and rest. Alongside the sessions, there is generous free time to explore the island at your own pace, so you can balance the inward work of the retreat with the chance to discover a little of Crete for yourself.

A typical day begins at 08:30 with yoga, pranayama and meditation until 09:45, followed by breakfast from 10:00 to 11:00. From 11:15 to 12:45 you will turn to yoga nidra, breathwork and sound healing, before lunch from 13:00 to 14:00. The afternoon, from 14:00 to 19:00, is yours for resting or exploring Crete. You then gather again from 19:30 to 20:30 for the post-sunset sound bath, a gentle way to close the day as evening settles in.

Your retreat includes accommodation, daily yoga, pranayama and meditation, sound healing sessions and post-sunset sound baths, the full-moon ceremony, locally sourced organic meals, journaling exercises and free time to explore Crete. You can choose between two packages: a Private Room at 1800 USD or a Shared Room at 1300 USD, each covering the full retreat with all yoga, sound healing and ceremonies, and organic meals. Flights and transfers and travel insurance are not included, and massage and private oracle healing sessions are available as optional add-ons. If you have dietary requirements, it is a good idea to contact the organisers before booking to confirm they can be catered for.
