Seeing with the heart - Nestos Yoga Retreat 2026
Nestos, Xanthi - GreeceRetreats are an inquiry into who we believe we were,and an invitation to see who we actually are — without mercy, without filters, and with deep acceptance.There is no level of entry.The real practitioner is a beginner — thirsty, eager to learn the infinity of beingness — where mental chatter can be set aside along with accumulated knowledge, beliefs, opinions, and ideas.What is, is enough.We rest with the sense of I am,allowing questions of identity to loosen on their own.Through Hatha and Raja Yoga, this inquiry is supported in a grounded and embodied way.These practices help release the tightness of the identity-mind (ahamkara): the ego, the inner critic, the comparer.Peace is the ground from which the wings of pure beingness open. From here, the possibility arises to move into the unknown without fear — because freedom is never static, never frozen.Details & Information:This retreat will be held near the Nestos River, in a welcoming natural space, beautiful in its simplicity.The environment itself becomes part of the practice — quiet, spacious, essential.The meals will be prepared and cooked by us - and there will also be fasting for those who intent to work deeper.This offering is open to anyone with sincerity and a willingness to inquire.5 days in the amazing Nature of Nestos RiverGuidance:Alessandro OrtonaIoanna PappaDates: 27–31 May 2026Group Size: Limited to 12 participantsAccommodation: Spacious traditional villa in a private natural settingContribution: 400€This retreat is open to anyone with sincerity and a willingness to inquire.
