Back to Balance: Theta Blue Retreat October, Kefalonia, Greece

Hippocrates’ healing philosophy focused on the medical practice of natural balance—a state of harmony between the individual, social, and natural environment. Imagine that during the Hippocratic era beginning in 460 BC, he stressed the importance of physical activity, nourishment, rest, play, dance, music, laughter, and a purposeful mind. “Nous Igi, Somatos Igi”: Healthy Mind, Healthy Body.

What can you expect on your Theta Blue Retreat?

A plethora of activities await your journey, in addition to exercises and knowledge-exchange workshops to help navigate your way to personal balance. Our Theta Blue Retreat is designed to help you become more self-aware of your personal triggers and habits that may be keeping you in a cycle of imbalance.

All of the activities are designed with a cultural immersion and authentic connection to local Greek Islanders who understand their way of life, their philosophy, and how, despite economic hardship and struggles, they maintain a high standard of happiness. How do the Greeks maintain their balance of mind and body? It may be through their inherent understanding of their environment, social interaction, food, rest, dance, wine, and song. Or, can it be the surrounding and stunning Blue Seas that allow their brains to maintain a Blue Theta brainwave-state of daydreaming? Perhaps it’s the salt water treatment, Thalassotherapy or their natural environment, Νόσων φύσεις ἰητροί ("Nature is the physician(s) of diseases", a phrase attributed to Hippocrates). It may be the therapeutic treatment of the sun, heliotherapy, or the treatment of disease through natural mineral baths, balneotherapy, still prescribed today by Greek physicians. Join our journey and learn about how the Greeks have one of the highest populations of active and happy octogenarians. We will delve into all these components of the Greek lifestyle. We will explore ancient techniques and remedies alongside modern-day practices to discover that, at their core, it’s all about balance
