Women’s Workshop – Greece
September 2023
On these holy days of introspection and Atonement, we invite you to come be together in one of Greece’s most spectacular locations: The Peloponnese Mani region, surrounded by Mother Nature in all her might.
This unique six-day workshop will be led and facilitated by two renowned and experienced instructors: Mira Arzi Padan – who will share her wide and profound knowledge on Female Yoga, and Sagit Emet – who will teach us how to harvest the power of creative writing in order to access our innermost strengths. We will practice Female Yoga, meet ourselves in writing, shed any unnecessary layers, and invite what we want for a good and beneficial New Year.
We invite you to treat yourself to a getaway vacation filled with rest, nature and in-depth workshops that will help you start the New Year with a clear mind, and a healthy body and soul.
You deserve it! So let go; our team will take care of everything.
The Zen Rocks center is located in the middle of an ancient olive grove, surrounded by nature. Made of unique Mani region stone, the hotel is designed in the minimalistic, clean-cut fashion that only Zen design can offer. It is located a 2.5-hour drive from Athens, 20 min from Kalamata city -and around 10 mins from the beach.
