A journey back to You

This Retreat Is for You If

You’ve built a life that looks fine” on the outside – but inside you feel tired, stretched and strangely disconnected from yourself.

✔ Your nervous system is constantly on: work, messages, responsibilities, decisions – there’s always something to respond to.

✔ You dream of pressing pause and disappearing somewhere by the sea… but you feel guilty prioritising yourself.

You’ve tried “being healthy” – diets, plans, gym phases – but nothing feels sustainable and you end up feeling like you failed again.

✔ You crave honest conversations with women who get it, not small talk or forced positivity.

You know you can’t keep living on autopilot – but you’re not sure how to create real change without burning everything down.

✔ You adore travel, good food and beautiful places – but you’re done with rushed, touristy holidays that leave you more exhausted than before..

If your chest softened while reading this as something inside you said:

"Yes, that's me"...

then this is your invitation to exhale

and let Crete hold you for a week.


This Retreat is Not for you If...

  • You are looking for a party holiday.

  • You want an intense bootcamp or strict diet.

  • You’re not willing to be respectful and kind in a shared, women-only space.

Just Imagine Yourself

in Crete…

You wake up to soft Mediterranean light, not an alarm.

The only sound is cicadas and the sea breathing in and out below your window.

You roll out your mat for a gentle morning practice by the pool, not to “burn calories”, but to meet your own body with kindness.

Afterwards, you sit around a long table with women who already feel like friends, sharing Cretan tomatoes, olive oil and stories you’ve never said out loud before.

In the afternoons, you wander through olive trees, float in clear blue water, read under the shade or simply do nothing guilt-free.

In the evenings, you sit in circle under the stars, journaling, laughing, sometimes crying a little, always feeling held.

You fly home with more than photos:

your shoulders are softer,

your self-talk is kinder,

your nervous system finally knows

what “rested” feels like –

and you carry a simple plan for

howto keep this feeling alive

in your everyday life.

The location

& Venue

Παραλία Γεράνι, Γεράνι 730 14, Ελλάδα

Your home for the week is a private villa near Platanias, just outside the picturesque city of Chania in western Crete.

Think nature views, olive trees, pool, cosy shared spaces and corners where you can hide away with your journal or a book and a sandy beach with crystal clear blue water where you can soak up the mediterranean sun...

Western Crete is where blue and green meet: beaches and coves, hills covered in olive groves, small villages and local tavernas. It’s relaxed, safe, and offers a taste to what real Greece is like.

Closest airport: Chania (CHQ) - 20' min.

We’ll coordinate a group transfer so your arrival feels as smooth as possible.

Mediterranean Retreats with Laura

Hi, I’m Laura – teacher, retreat creator and warm Mediterranean soul on her own ongoing reset journey.

For years, I lived in permanent “performance mode”: teaching, caring, studying, over-giving.

On paper, everything looked fine. Inside, I felt exhausted, disconnected from my body, and quietly wondering,

“Is this really it?”

What slowly saved me wasn’t one big dramatic change, but a series of small, stubborn choices:

learning to listen to my body, saying “no” without apologising, rediscovering joy in simple things and spending more time by the sea and in nature.

The Mediterranean way of living – slower, connected, present – became my teacher.

I created the Blue & Green Mediterranean Reset Retreat for the woman I used to be:

responsible, capable, tired, and so ready for a different way of living – but not sure how to begin.

My role is to hold a safe, judgment-free space where you can soften, be fully yourself and gently try on new ways of relating to your body, your time and your joy.

If your body is whispering “yes” even while your mind is listing reasons to wait…

I’d be honoured to welcome you to Crete and walk this week by your side.

Come along with me on a journey back to ourselves and let me show you why this island with its ancient mystical powers was a turning point for me.

Let's create magic together!

Join me by applying below.

FAQs

Your Questions Answered

Can I come alone?

Definitely! Most women join solo. By the end of day one, it rarely feels that way anymore. The group is intentionally small and I pay close attention to creating a safe, inclusive atmosphere.

Do I need yoga experience?

Not at all. All movement is gentle, adaptable and invitational. You’re always free to rest, modify or simply lie on your mat and breathe.

What if I have dietary needs?

We can usually accommodate vegetarian, gluten-free and some other needs. We take into consideration your preferences and do our best to serve. Share your requirements in the application form and we’ll confirm what’s possible before you commit.

I can’t afford to pay everything right now. Can I still book?

Absolutely.

To reserve your spot you only need to pay a small fixed deposit €600.

The remaining amount can be paid in 2–5 equal instalments up to a specific date before the retreat starts. We’ll agree together on a simple payment plan that works for you and send you reminders, so you don’t have to think about it.

Your deposit is, of course, deducted from the total price of your retreat.

What is the weather like in western Crete in May?

May in western Crete is usually warm, bright and gentle – one of the loveliest months of the year.

Daytime temperatures are typically around 22–27°C, with some warmer days towards the end of the month.

Evenings can feel cooler, especially with the sea breeze, so a light layer is useful.

The sea is usually comfortable for swimming for most people who enjoy cooler but refreshing water.

In short: think sunny Mediterranean spring turning into summer – perfect for yoga, sea time and exploring.

Are flights included in the price?

Flights are not included.

You’ll need to book your own flights to Crete.

The nearest airports are:

Chania (CHQ) – this is the closest to the retreat venue

Heraklion (HER) – a bit further, but sometimes with more flight options

Once you reserve your spot:

you’ll receive recommended arrival & departure windows (ideal times to land / leave)

we’ll support you with guidance on routes and timing, and help you coordinate with other guests so transfers are easier to arrange.

Because Crete is a popular destination, the earlier you book your flights, the better the prices and options usually are.

I’m introverted / shy – will I be overwhelmed?

The retreat is designed with lots of spaciousness and safety. You’re never forced to share/participate more than you want, and there is plenty of time to be on your own. Any activities, scheduled or optional are totally up to you to follow and take part in.

However, I have seen women like you opening up, sharing experiences and creating friendships from day one- inspite of their introversion.

What’s your cancellation policy?

We keep this simple and transparent so there are no surprises.

If you cancel your spot

All payments (including the deposit) are generally non-refundable.

If you need to cancel, you must email us at [email protected]. Your cancellation is only effective once we confirm by email.

Because we incur costs as soon as you book, we operate a strict no-refund policy.

In some cases, at our discretion and depending on how close we are to the retreat date and whether we can fill your spot, we may offer a partial refund minus administrative, advertising and booking fees – but this is not guaranteed.

This is one of the main reasons we require comprehensive travel insurance, so you can submit a claim if something unexpected happens.


If Reset Journeys has to cancel or make major change, your safety and wellbeing always come first.

In the unlikely event that we must cancel the retreat ourselves (e.g. due to illness, natural disaster, civil unrest or other serious unforeseen event), your deposit can be transferred to a future retreat within 12 months.

We are not able to refund or reimburse other costs (flights, hotels, etc.). These can usually be claimed through your travel insurance.

If we need to make significant changes (e.g. a venue or facilitator change) due to circumstances beyond our control, your deposit can also be transferred to another retreat within 12 months.

All other payments are non-refundable and should be claimed via your insurance if you choose not to attend.

For full details, please read our Terms & Conditions before booking – but this is the essence:


👉 your payments to us are non-refundable, your deposit is transferable in case we cancel or make major changes, and good travel insurance is what protects your overall investment.

How do I get to the retreat

We will provide detailed travel instructions and assist with arranging transfers from the nearest airport or station

Is this retreat a form of therapy or psychotherapy?

No.

This retreat is educational and supportive, not psychotherapy or medical treatment.

We’ll use tools like movement, breath, journaling and group sharing to support your well-being, but they don’t replace professional mental health care.

If you are currently struggling with a mental health condition or feel you need deeper support, we warmly encourage you to seek or continue working with a licensed professional.

What should I bring with me?

After you confirm your spot, you’ll receive a detailed “What to Pack for Your Mediterranean Reset” email with a checklist.

In general, think:

-Light, comfortable clothes you can move in

-A warmer layer for evenings

-Swimwear and something you feel good wearing at the beach

-Comfortable walking shoes or sandals

and your good vibes.

We’ll make it very easy for you not to overthink it.

Why does this retreat cost more than a typical holiday?

Good question – and important to address openly.

This isn’t a standard package holiday. It’s a small, curated, all-inclusive experience designed to support deep rest and personal reset. Your investment includes, for example:

-Stay in a private villa setting (not a crowded hotel)

-Two nourishing meals a day on most days, prepared with fresh Cretan & Mediterranean ingredients

-Daily yoga / movement / meditation sessions

-Workshops, circles and ceremonies designed for your inner work

-A private day cruise, Cretan celebration night and other group experiences

-Group transfers related to the retreat program

-Carefully designed resources to help you integrate everything when you go home and all the wonderful things I have been prepearing for you with genuine care and warmth.

If you tried to book all of this separately – villa, chef, yoga classes, sound healing, boat trip, taxis, workshops etc. – plus the time and energy to organise it, you’d likely pay far more and have far less support.

So yes, it’s an investment. But it’s an investment in your nervous system, your body, your joy and your future self – wrapped in one week where everything is held for you.

Do I need travel insurance?

We strongly recommend (and effectively require) that you have travel insurance in place before traveling.

This retreat is an investment in yourself, and travel insurance is what helps protect that investment if something unexpected happens.

When you look at policies, search for “comprehensive travel insurance” and check that it covers at least:

-Emergency medical & hospital care abroad (including Greece)

-Medical evacuation & repatriation (getting you safely home if needed)

-Trip cancellation & trip interruption

e.g. illness, family emergency, serious events that prevent you from travelling or force you to go home early

-Baggage loss / theft / delay

-Travel delay / missed connections

--Activities coverage for non-extreme activities such as:

swimming / boat trips

easy hikes / walks

gentle yoga & movement

non-competitive horse riding

-Every country and insurer is different, so:

choose a policy that is valid for Greece / the EU for all the days you’re travelling, including your travel days

read the small print around pre-existing conditions and cancellation reasons

if you’re unsure, it’s always wise to speak with your insurance provider or a licensed agent so you know you’re fully covered for the week.

Please note: we are not insurance providers and can’t give individualized insurance advice.

What we can do is share the activities involved in the retreat so you can double-check that your policy covers everything you plan to do.
