From the 15th to 21st of June, Shakti Alchemy will host a women’s experience designed for deeper connection, feminine embodiment, and personal transformation. Guided by experienced female facilitators, the programme blends somatic practices, immersive rituals, women’s circles, breath work and sensory evening experiences. A space to slow down, reconnect, and reset. Hosted at Casa Cook Samos on the Greek island of Samos, known in mythology as the birthplace of Hera and long regarded as a place connected to feminine wisdom. It’s a setting that naturally invites stillness and reflection. Here, mornings begin grounded and intentional, afternoons open into rest and island time, and evenings evolve into ritual and shared experience.

Real rest — the kind that comes from having given yourself a week of genuine space
There’s a certain feeling that settles over you at Casa Cook Samos. Maybe it’s the softness of the sea air, the rhythm of the waves along Potokaki Bay, or the way the island seems to invite you to slow down before you’ve even unpacked.
Set directly on the beachfront, this adults-only retreat is designed for a more conscious kind of escape — one where mornings begin slowly under the Mediterranean sun, afternoons drift between water, rest, and movement, and evenings stretch into golden light and warm sea breeze.
Your well-being is woven naturally into every part of the experience. Swim through six serene pools, spend long unhurried hours on the private beach, or nourish yourself with fresh Mediterranean dining at the Beach House restaurant.
Reconnect with your body through yoga, fitness, and restorative spa rituals, while earthy textures, natural tones, and open-air spaces create an atmosphere that helps you slow down, breathe more deeply, and fully switch off.
