  4. Greece is becoming popular again. I run a retreat out on the beautiful island of Kefalonia. I?m not pushing the retreat, but you are welcome. However the island is stunningly beautiful with many secluded beaches, green mountains, delightful people, Turtles & plenty of sunshine. It?s not too busy & the best beaches are on the southern part of the island. We are above a small beach 3 Kms down a farm track with our friends who run a delightful taverna with sublime sunsets & simple food & wine. It only takes 3 1/2 hours from Gatwick Plenty of places to rent a boat or take a tour round the island Good luck Nigel

  10. Hello. I will be running retreats on the beautiful island of Kefalonia this summer again from May. I am looking for yoga, Pilates teachers,healers, fitness trainers,masseurs,life coaches,counsellors & child minders. The retreats are for the people of this area to de-stress, find balance & harmony,ways to deal with depression,health & wellbeing & of course to relax. You will be very welcome to invite your own customers & the idea is to connect all customers with practitioners on their return to maintain what they have enjoyed. It is part of our ethos that all those who work at The Big Calm absolutely love what they do. I teach meditation on the beach!,, :-) We will also be offering horse riding,scuba diving,sailing,beach parties & sailing. We also offer private classes if requested. These are the retreat dates: Singles 11th May - 18th May Health & Wellness. 25th May - 1st June Nutrition & diet. 15th June - 22nd June Couples. 7th July - 14th July Singles & children. 14th July - 21st July Families one week. 21st July - 28th July Families two weeks. 28th July - 1st Sept Chill out one or two weeks. 1st Sept - 15th Sept ?Ladies that yoga long weekends? By arrangement Private weeks By arrangement Also will need a chef for the private weeks & weekends Please take a look at the website thebigcalm.co.uk & contact me on [email protected] for more details. I cannot describe how beautiful the island is, or the pretty fishing village you will be accommodated in. We practice on the secluded little Koroni beach & on the deck in front of my friends delightful Kantina overlooking the Ionian Sea All these retreats will have meditation,yoga,massage & healing, so all will be welcome to any retreat & they will be adapted to the individual customers needs. I have found the best way to operate is as a cooperative, which means everyone is paid the same. I am out there shortly to find a cottage in the local village for the practitioners, or if I get permission you can stay in one of the log cabins in my olive grove overlooking the sea. I will also be trying to build a couple of Yurts. Anyone ever built one before? Nigel 9 Sunderland court SE22 8 JX
