Dive into eight days of sun-kissed bliss with daily Tantra, Yoga and breathwork on the idyllic island of Greece, Amorgos. Revitalise your body and soul with soothing and luscious soulful practices, two delicious, wholesome meals per day and free time for island exploration and beach relaxation.
This experience invites you for a deliciously rich exploration into the nourishing practices and wisdom of Tantra under the loving guidance of Charlotte, a passionate tantra and yoga teacher based in Sydney, Australia. Tantra, commonly associated with sacred sexuality, is a holistic approach to life that enlightens the soul, enriches the body, explores the psyche, cultivates beautiful connections and recognises the divine in all things.
The daily schedule will involve tantric workshops, activating yoga classes for the mornings, soothing and integrative yoga classes in the evenings, energising breathwork, embodied meditations, wholesome rituals practised in solo, partner and group settings. We will also be having fun with a cacao ceremony and a special white dinner together!

Set amidst stunning and serene natural scenery, this retreat allows for a beautiful and gradual unfolding across the week of subtle spiritual awakenings, connection to life's blissful essence, mental reset, emotional integration, revitalising of the body and encouragement toward aligning with your highest potential.
Experience true enchantment with picturesque sunsets over the sea, crystal clear, calming waters, scenic hiking trails, archeological sites and white streets of traditional Cycladic villages dappled with hues of blue and bougainvillaea throughout the island. There will also be time for freediving if you desire. Amorgos is famous for it along with its spectacular white monastery, Hozoviotissa, open to viewers throughout the day.

We will be situated upon the Greek island of Amorgos in Agios Pavlos. The retreat venue, Agios Pavlos Studios, has been chosen for its location of exquisite raw nature and peace aside from little goats’ bells and bleats, stunning views and open-air practice spaces ideal for harnessing the energy of the wild island earth, sky and sea.
Your journey to Amorgos begins with a flight to Athens then a direct ferry to Amorgos or a connecting flight to Santorini or Mykonos and a ferry to one of the ports of Amorgos from there at your own expense. There are two ports, one at Katapola and one at Aegiali. You will then be collected from the port and taken to Agios Pavlos, unless you prefer to rent your own vehicle.

On the first day of the retreat we will begin in the afternoon, once everyone has arrived with an opening circle to introduce ourselves to each other and set the intentions for the retreat ahead. Then we will have a delcious dinner to nourish our bellies, followed by a calming yoga session to ease the unsettling effects of travel upon our bodies and minds. Then in the coming 6 days, we will commence a general routine as follows:
Early breathwork to strengthen the lungs and awaken the life force energy.
Morning Tantric flow yoga - a combination of hatha and vinyasa yoga to activate and energise.
A Tantric workshop sharing wisdom on topics such as Tantra's core philosophies, the energy body and kundalini, sacred sexuality, polarities and more.
Practical Tantric exercises to cultivate deeper embodiment, self discovery and expression, empowering and soulful connections with others, emotional release and more.
Evening Tantric chill yoga - a combination of yin and restorative yoga to soothe and integrate the day
An intentional meditation to direct the energies awakening within in nourishing ways
Around this routine there will be time for personal reflections and space, sunbaking, swimming or freediving if that's your thing, island exploration, site-seeing and basically whatever this magical island entices you to do in your own time. Suggestion to bring a snorkel and mask if you wish to try out freediving or snorkelling in the area.
On the final day, we will conclude the retreat with a breath work session, yoga practice, breakfast and a closing circle to honour our time and growth together.

Your travel fares to get to Amorgos are not included in the retreat price. We are happy to include a free transfer to Agios Pavlos studios from Katapola or Aegiali Port.
You are welcome to book your own vehicle for the week of your stay. It is recommended as the island is 32km long and there will be plenty of time to explore. We have some suggestions of companies or we can arrange your vehicle rental for you ahead of time.
Ensure your peace of mind during your travels by investing in travel insurance, protecting you from unforeseen events and expenses.
We recommend purchasing a flexible flight ticket, allowing for hassle-free modifications in case of unexpected events.

While we strive to create an inclusive environment, we cannot guarantee a perfect gender balance on the retreat. Our focus is primarily on providing a space for spiritual reconnection with oneself and the chance to unwind fully. Along the journey, you'll also have the opportunity to meet some wonderful people from diverse backgrounds.
Will there be tantric sexual practices to participate in?
While we'll offer educational workshops on tantric sexual practices, it's important to note that there will be no practical demonstrations or workshops involving active participation in sexual practices. Our aim is to provide informative sessions in a respectful and educational environment.

“I see Charlotte regularly for tantric work and yoga practice. She’s massively supported my goals of deeper embodiment and honouring of myself. I love how she offers this work. There’s such a natural inviting warmth she exudes and her passion for this work truly radiates from her. I always feel so nourished after our sessions.”
“Charlotte is honestly incredible and has so much depth, knowledge and empathy. My session with her was absolutely lovely, safe and relaxing. She really helped me with some major trauma preventing me to see into vision for my future. With her support, I was able to refocus and what I envisioned for myself manifested in life. I highly recommend connecting with Charlotte if you want to feel restored, balanced and purposeful.”
