Lost Your Spark? This Greek Island Retreat Might Help You Find It Again

A Fresh Start for Mind, Body & Spirit

The sun is high, the days stretch out, and summer is fully here.
It's the season of possibility, a natural moment to pause, breathe, and ask yourself:
What do I need right now, not just to get by, but to feel truly alive??

Not in the way of to-do lists or resolutions. But deeper than that.

More time to write? To rest? To laugh? To move?
To feel like yourself again?

Or maybe… you're not even sure what makes you happy anymore.
Maybe the things that used to bring joy don't quite land the same.
Maybe you've tried everything and still feel stuck.

You're not alone. According to a 2024 report by Mental Health UK, one in five people had to take time off work due to a mental health crisis, and 35% of adults experienced extreme stress. 

Skyros Holidays, Europe's original holistic retreat, has long believed in the joy of small resets with big ripple effects [really like this sentence]. Now, with just six weeks until the start of their 2025 season, the Skyros team invites guests people from all walks of life to make time for what truly matters.

Whether it's at the Skyros Centre in the heart of Skyros village or at Atsitsa Bay by the sea, each retreat is a blend of creativity, restoration, and connection, all grounded in a vibrant, supportive community.

Five Ways to Reconnect with Yourself This Spring:

1. Step Away from the Noise – Unplug from daily demands and rediscover the power of silence, nature, and a slower rhythm.
   
   
2. Try Something New (or Revisit a Forgotten Love) – From comedy writing and mosaics to yoga and wild swimming, reignite the creative parts of you that have been left on hold.
   
   
3. Listen to Your Body – Courses like 'Transform Your Health' with Dr. April Blake offer practical, personalized wellbeing without gimmicks or pressure.
   
   
4. Surround Yourself with Warmth – Whether it's sun, sea, or the laughter of like-minded people, real connection heals.
   
   
5. Look at What's Already Happening – Sometimes it's not about adding something new, but noticing what's draining your joy and gently letting it go.
   
   

🌿 Skyros Centre
Masterclasses in doing what you love. Expect inspiring morning courses, sea-view walks, creative afternoons, and long meals shared with new friends. With expert facilitators including Mez Packer, Dina Glouberman, Logan Murray, and Dr. April Blake, you'll be supported, seen, and free to explore new ways of thinking, creating, and living.

🌊 Atsitsa Bay
Perfect for the creative explorer, wake to birdsong, eat under the trees, and spend your days between sea swims, mosaics, writing, movement, music, and wild joy. With rustic eco-huts, a barefoot atmosphere, and the warmth of community, Atsitsa is where creativity and connection thrive.

Both locations offer the kind of break that's hard to describe but impossible to forget, one that brings you back to life gently, honestly, and joyfully.

What do you need to feel whole again?
