A Spa Retreat to Supercharge Your Health in Every Way

9 Queens Thermal Spa Suites Hotel 9 Frynis Street, Loutra, Edipsos, Evia Island, 34 300 Greece
About the Retreat
It’s not about adding more to your life. It’s about remembering what was always there.
There comes a time in life when the noise fades, the rush slows, and you start to hear a quieter, deeper voice. It’s the part of you that isn’t chasing the next thing, but longing for a sense of wholeness—a feeling of vitality, clarity, and peace.
This is not a retreat for fixing what’s broken. You are not broken. This is a retreat for illuminating what’s already strong within you and learning the ancient, proven arts to keep it burning bright.
At the Turn On Your Light retreat, we set aside the stress of the outer world to focus on the rich, fascinating world within. Here, amidst the healing thermal waters of Evia, you will:
Rediscover Your Inner Power: Learn to feel and direct your own energy (Qi) through meditation, Qi Gong, and Taoist exercises that have been honed for centuries.
Cultivate Deep Peace: Quiet the restless mind with philosophies and techniques from Taoism and Tantra, designed to help you flow with life, not against it.
Rebuild Your Physical Foundation: Engage in gentle but effective core strengthening to build strength and suppleness from the inside out, supporting your body for all the years ahead.
Experience True Restoration: Benefit from the unique setting of a world-renowned thermal spa, where you can rest and rejuvenate between sessions.
Imagine a weekend where you don’t need to struggle, but simply to allow. Where the goal isn’t achievement, but reconnection—to your body, to your breath, and to a profound sense of light and aliveness.
Turn On Your Light is your chance to shine again. From the Thermal Spa Waters to a guided journey within, discover the true you and reconnect to what is important…….YOU!
In this unique weekend, you will experience the many different techniques used for hundreds of years to re-vitalise you and inspire you. Spaces are limited, so book your spot today. Go here for the price list.
