Return To Your Rhythm

The deepest transformation isn't linear; it's the courage to return, again and again, to your own rhythm.

Retreat to the breathtaking Corinthian Gulf in the heart of the Peloponnese, Greece, for five nights and six days of connection, daily Pilates and embodied movement, farm-to-table feasting, medicine making, wild swimming in our fully private cove, dancing and deep rest.

More than a retreat, this is a fully held luxury experience where every element has been thoughtfully woven together to support your journey.

Held in a stunning natural sanctuary where mountains meet the sea, this is more than a retreat, it's a fully held luxury experience, where every element has been thoughtfully woven together to support your journey. The land, the sea, the women you gather alongside and the carefully curated workshops all become part of your unfolding.

Whether you're sharing stories around the table, moving beneath the morning sun, immersing yourself in nature or swimming in the sea, each day invites you to come home to yourself.

Come to connect with a group of women from around the world, connect with nature, deepen into yourself, play and have fun in the process. Leave carrying the kindling of your own body's wisdom that continues to glow long after you return home.

The Sanctuary

Set within a 60-acre private nature reserve in the heart of the Peloponnese, Meadowsweet in Greece is a retreat where forest, sea, and mountain harmoniously converge. Surrounded by ancient pines, olive groves, and wild herbs growing along the pathway to a private cove with crystal waters, the sanctuary feels like a land-locked island - secluded, elemental, and deeply inspiring.

Following a sensitive renovation by a Greek-English artist, each room in this historic villa reflects quiet elegance, blending original stonework with softly painted palettes, natural textures, and nature inspired artwork. Legend whispers that the villa was once owned by a relative of Princess Diana, lending a gentle echo of heritage to this timeless space.

The bedrooms are each uniquely beautiful, offering either garden, mountain, or expansive sea views. All are filled with thoughtful details and layered comforts, inviting deep rest after days of creativity and connection. A private guest cottage sits just above the main house, with its own spacious living area, kitchen, and sweeping views over the ocean, ideal for those seeking extra seclusion within the retreat.

From the shaded kitchen terrace to the wide open lawns, the retreat invites us to move slowly and with intention. You might wake to the sound of goat bells in the hills, or fall asleep to the steady hum of cicadas echoing through the olive trees.

Whether held within the sanctuary of the villa or out in the wild Peloponnesian landscape, this is a space to remember your essence - where beauty, silence, and soulful creativity return you gently to yourself.

Your Guides

This retreat is an invitation to come home to yourself. You'll be gently supported through days that honour the wisdom of your body, the healing power of nature, and the transformation and joy that happens when we feel safe, seen, and connected. Through somatic processing workshops, medicine making, nature immersion, stillness, nourishing rituals, and time spent in community, you'll be invited to slow down, soften, and reconnect with your own rhythm. Come to breathe, to listen, to be held, and to remember that everything you need has been within you all along.

Following her own experience of chronic illness, profound loss, and rebuilding her health from the inside out, Claire felt called to a different way of living and working, one rooted in presence, embodiment, and the body's innate capacity to heal. It was this journey that transformed not only her health, but also the direction of her life's work.

Drawing on her background as a dancer, Claire's approach is intuitive, playful, and deeply embodied.

Words from past guests

"After my first retreat at Meadowsweet I knew that I wanted to go back. When I realized that Anya was hosting the last retreat in Tuscany, I felt called to be there for it. I can't explain why, I just knew I needed to be there. I brought my 17 year old this time, as I wanted her to also feel the energy at Meadowsweet. It was the most spiritual experience I've ever had. With every song we sang, every walk we took in the forest, I felt closer and closer to nature and a deep healing began. I connected with people in a way that was so raw and real, which isn't something that I do very often. As we stripped away our inhibitions and sang at the top of our lungs and danced to the beat of the drums, I felt my heart soften in a way that it hasn't in many years. I feel like I will be connected to the friends that I met there for a lifetime. There is no way to truly explain what being in that environment does for your soul, all I can really say is that everyone deserves this kind of healing experience." - Fianna, Folk & Fungi 2024
"The Flower Moon Gathering was a balm for the soul. Every detail, from the food and setting to the depth of the ceremonies, was crafted with such love and care. I left feeling softer, braver and more connected to myself and others. Anya, Phoebe and Amanda hold space with such grace - it felt like being welcomed home." - Ana, Flower Moon Gathering 2025
"I had a wonderful time at the Meadowsweet retreat! They brought the right people together, created a safe space with so much attention to detail The activities, meditations, workshops and shared meals were great. Each one touched me deeply. We laughed a lot, cried a lot and had a magical time Thank you Anya and family!" - Ida Harvest Moon 2023
"Joining this retreat was the best decision I have taken towards honoring my creativity and reconnecting with my loving self in such a long time" - Carina, Artist Journey 2023
"I felt so grateful to have come to this gathering at Meadowsweet. It was such a beautifully considered experience with magic in every corner. I was made to feel so welcome by the Meadowsweet family and It was truly wonderful meeting like minded nature-loving friends. The days were carefully threaded with eating, sharing, singing, foraging and creating in the Tuscan wild." - Millie Folk & Fungi 2022
"I’ve been to Meadowsweet retreats twice so far, and each time it feels more and more magical. I’ve never felt so held, enriched, and connected to nature anywhere else 🤍 a truly unmatched experience!" Jada, Wild Weekend 2024

What You’ve Been Asking…

Not at all, we will guide you through all practices at your level and pace.
Throughout the retreat you'll be invited into a beautiful collection of workshops and shared experiences, each thoughtfully chosen to deepen your connection with yourself, the natural world, and the women around you.
Included in your retreat are daily Pilates and somatic embodiment sessions with Claire, guided nature walks, foraging and herbalism workshops, seasonal craft sessions inspired by the rhythms of the land, an intimate evening tarot workshop, sound healing, and gentle evening rituals. There will also be plenty of time to swim, rest, journal, explore the surrounding landscape, or simply slow down and savour the pace of retreat life.
Our days are intentionally spacious. Rather than filling every hour, we've created a gentle rhythm that allows for rest, conversation, and the quiet moments that often become the most meaningful part of the week.
For those who'd like a little extra, massages, private photography sessions, and additional yoga classes will be available to book during your stay.
The retreat encourages digital detox and deep presence. Wi-Fi is available in the villa, but we invite you send out an away email response, put your phone on do not disturb and unplug as much as possible.
The retreat takes place in a secluded sanctuary in mainland Greece, nestled between the sea and mountains. The exact location will be shared upon booking your place.
It is 1 hour and 45 minutes drive from Athens airport.
In early October, the Peloponnesian coast is still holding the gentle warmth of summer, with golden light stretching long into the afternoons. Days are typically sun-kissed and mild, perfect for painting en plein air or wandering the olive groves with a sketchbook in hand. The evenings invite soft layers as the air cools slightly, ideal for cozy dinners under the stars. It’s a beautiful, balanced time where the rhythm of the season naturally supports slowing down, tuning in, and creating with ease.

You’ll be staying in a truly exceptional space - this is not your average retreat centre. The retreat is held in a restored heritage villa, recently renovated with exquisite attention to detail. Each room blends timeless character with refined comfort - think stone walls, hand-crafted finishes, antique accents, and soft, luxurious linens.
The villa is nestled within a wild sanctuary between sea and mountains, surrounded by ancient trees, forest paths, and a hidden private cove. Every corner of the space invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and feel held, both aesthetically and energetically. Rooms are available in shared or private options, and every space has been curated to feel both grounding and inspiring.
All meals are lovingly prepared in-house by our amazing resident chef Josie, with a focus on vibrant, plant-forward dishes that celebrate the seasonal produce of the region. Local seafood and organic meat features regularly on the menu, and if you have other dietary needs or preferences we’re more than happy to tailor the meals to suit.
Your booking includes 5 nights luxury accommodation, all meals and healing beverages, art materials, workshops, and nature-based experiences. Travel to and from the site is not included.
