I went to Greece about 5years ago to Kimโ€™s retreat and it was Amazing, I loved it. I followed Serenity retreat And Kim on Facebook over the years.Then I noticed that Kim was doing live meditations twice a day during lockdown !! So I joined in. It has been a lifeline, it has been so wonderful to be part of this compassionate community ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป Kim is an Amazing teacher and so funny as well ! I really look forward each day to meditate with Kim and the gang we are all in it together !! And Kimโ€™s insightful chats !!. I will definitely be going on one of the retreats Iโ€™m the future for sure !! Thank you so much Kim, so grateful ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•

I got a lot from the retreat however itโ€™s worth knowing that the accommodation varies wildly from very dated and dark, to light airy and modern. Some apartments are alongside a sailing school. This can have an impact on your trip depending on your expectations and the weather! The village is a scrappy little place but not without its charms. The retreat part of it is a mixed bag and a bit weird. There are so many approaches / techniques that it becomes confusing. I wouldnโ€™t recommend the optional courses to beginners however the morning meditations, moving mediation and walk are consistent and a safe bet. Although there is no pressure to do anything, I felt pressured and judged by other guests - only a couple mind, but it was enough to make me uncomfortable at times. I think the retreat is fine if youโ€™re looking for some structure to wrap around a solo trip. Next time, Iโ€™m taking the Headspace app, booking into a nice apartment, and spending the money I save on experiences.

Ah, I've been waiting for the first 'not glowing' review. It had to come at some point in nine years! You're right about the different apartments, some are very traditional and some are much more modern. I guess it depends on your taste, which is why we offer five alternatives. All of our accommodation is right on the seafront and as a consequence some of the apartments (Lefkothea and Pana's) share the sea with our local neighbours - a sailing school. They're at least 200 metres away and you're likely to see people bobbing about as they are taught how to sail and windsurf. Yes, as it says in the review from Queen of Retreats , Nikiana is not the archetypal blue and white Greek village, but I'm glad you recognised that it has its charms. I would say that the locals make it a special place, but then, I'm biased :) I'm sorry you didn't find the donation-based optional course useful. They change every week! I'm also sorry that you felt judged and pressured by other guests. My hope is that that isn't a standard experience as we have a 58% return rate (and have had for three years or so) and our other reviews point to the friendliness within the groups. I'm glad you got a lot from the retreat, despite your observations. That's good enough for me! Wishing you well and hope your next trip with Headspace (that's SUCH a good app) ticks all your boxes. Thanks for taking the time to leave an honest review. Kim x
