Final Full Retreat Day (September 22, 2026)

 

Last full day at the retreat house. I had a friend join me for my run! Ro came with for my mile, we did the same route I did the day before, it was my favorite. We didn't go all the way down to the lookout cuz we needed to get back for yoga, but we did get to see the sheep. 


I watched these paragliders during our yoga time, so peaceful. 


Our word for this session was Meraki μερακι
which means doing something with passion and creativity 

After yoga I got my laundry going and we had a silent journal time where we were also invited to pick out a paint by number. 


After some time a car load and I drove into town to the pharmacy before it closed for their early evening closing time. Passed some chickens! 


When we got back we did a little drone yoga for one of our leaders for her PR :-) that was fun. Then we had a real afternoon yoga session. 


The focus of this yoga was partner yoga, I got to be with my roomie: Jaime. The word for this session was parea παρεα 
which means community or close-knit group of friends


Little photo sesh after yoga as it began to sprinkle. 



I finished up my painting while others continued to work on theirs. Then we got dressed for our final night in. We had a blue and white dress theme, a personal chef was hired to come in and cook for us and we had a deeper reflection time where we shared joys we saw in each other the past week. 





Beautiful sunset. We started outside, but the forcast was showing rain and we could see a storm coming. (this is the resident cat we named Fred) 


Photos with each other :-) 



Dinner started outside, the appetizers. The chef warned us to save room but we all wish we would have had more of this because the main dish was kinda bland....

  

Moved inside before the rain started. Had a dance party while we waited for the main course. Which was a rice dish and boiled chicken. The dessert was amazing though! Loukoumades is what's it's called they are little greek donuts. 


Fred wishing he could come inside and hiding from the rain. 


This marks the end to a wonderful, amazing, much needed reset of a yoga retreat.
