I spent a week with Serenity Retreat on 15th May 2016. It was an amazing holiday and I loved every minute of it. From my initial enquiry to the return journey home, everything was thought of and very well planned. The little touches like the welcome pack upon arrival are great. I took part in the “Zen Practices for Developing Insight” meditation course as well as doing some early morning mindful walking and QiGong on the beach. I went on Aris’s herbal walk and Earth Aware talk up in the mountains and I also had some fantastic reflexology from the lovely Giota. You can dip in and out and do as much or as little as you want. Nikiana is very special with a beautiful energy and I felt right at home in this lovely place from the moment I arrived. I stayed at Pana’s and loved the apartment I stayed in. It really was right on the beach. I woke up to a view of a mountain out of one window and a view of the sea out of another. I don’t think there are many places you can do that! I sat out on the balcony for hours admiring the view which I found very calming and healing. I met some wonderful people both on the course and in the village itself. I think the fact that half the people on the course had visited Serenity Retreat at least once before says an awful lot about both Kim and Nikiana. This holiday was a true gem, something quite unique and special. The whole experience was thoroughly enjoyable. I will go on another Serenity Retreat holiday for sure and I’ve been telling everyone about it since I got home. I highly recommend it. Thank you Kim.
