Retreats by Bessie Refalo

The beating heart of the Bessie Refalo Method

Retreats are a time to step away from the wheel of daily life and tune into your mental and physical wellbeing. It took me years to feel ready to hold space in an authentic way — now I can offer something truly special.

Space to Arrive

From the moment you arrive, everything is taken care of. Thoughtfully chosen venues, natural surroundings, and the time to simply be.

Food as Ritual

Wholesome, vibrant meals prepared with love. Every dish is designed to nourish, restore, and bring people together.

Togetherness

Shared meals, conversations, and laughter are at the heart of every retreat. You’ll connect with others — and yourself.

Time to Rest

Between classes and workshops, there’s space to pause, swim, wander, and simply do nothing. Rest is not a luxury — it’s essential.

Immersed in Nature

Our venues are surrounded by wild beauty — olive groves, lush greenery, and endless views of sea and sky. Being in nature is medicine in itself.

Take it with You

Every retreat is designed to leave you with more than memories. You return with rituals, practices, and a renewed sense of energy that lasts long after you’re home.

Upcoming Retreats

Each retreat has its own unique rhythm and theme, but all share the same foundation: movement, rest, nourishing food, and deep connection.
