Kea Island, Greece
Imagine this, you wake up and from your bed you can hear the birds singing, the sun is shining and all around you is green and alive with nature. Your whole day is planned out for you and so you don't have to worry about the details. Your only decision is whether to take a walk to the beach or take a massage in your free time.
Yoga. Healthy Food. Like-minded community. Beach time.
And plenty of time to rest, recharge, explore the beautiful surroundings and charm of our beach front villa and the authentic greek experience of the nearby town.
This retreat is much more than just another holiday, it's about meeting like minded women who support and inspire each other, having deep conversations about life, laughing over a glass of rose watching a sunset and deeply reconnecting with a more carefree and alive version of yourself.
Because somehow along the way, all the pressure of daily life, mothering, working, being a love partner and all these roles you play have been putting out the fire and passion that you used to have for life. You got caught up on all these tasks and micromanaging daily schedules, you almost forgot who you really are!
This retreat is an invitation to care deeply and love yourself, reignite your fire and passion for living and become the most vibrant and authentic woman in any room!

About Karol De Souza
I left my corporate job at the age of 27 and bought a one way ticket to study yoga in India. Going to India gave me a sense of purpose and direction in a time when I wasn't very sure what I wanted to make out of life. Most of my friends then were returning from living abroad to work in reliable jobs or having kids.
Daily life and juggling work with other million things was keeping me at bay of living my most authentic and exciting life. I was feeling like my soul was craving deep conversations and connection with like minded people, I wanted to find purpose and fulfilment through my work as well as discovering who I truly was beyond the expectations society had for me...
My 21 days immersion in the yoga school in India was the break I needed. It brought so much reflection and internal shifts. That experience shifted the course of my life forever. That was a decision that allowed me to become the person I am today, it shaped my life, it changed the course of things for me. Since then I moved countries, started a whole different career I'm passionate about, found my life calling, built a successful business (when everyone told me otherwise) and now 10 years later than most of my friends, I had my first baby and I'm building my family. And I can only thank my old self for not settling for less because of my fear. I moved before I was certain, that one tiny step was the first step to a journey of living a life I'm obsessed with and happy to wake up to every single day.
I have been teaching yoga, running and directing my own Yoga & Personal Development retreats in Europe and around the world since 2017. I have recently also taken my first Pilates course and I like to incorporate other tools for self awareness and Personal Development into my retreat experiences; like journaling, breath work sessions, dynamic workshops in Nlp and more.
After years travelling and teaching around the world I have found my little piece of paradise in a small coastal town in Portugal where I live with my family.
For me, the purpose of creating these retreats is to create the opportunity of deep and long lasting transformation I have experienced in my life. Just yoga and healthy food isn’t enough to make the internal shifts, and so I like to share the tools I have learned and used along those years to find inner peace and most importantly fall in love with myself and the person I have become. It's an ongoing process that I'm excited to share with you.
What to expect from this Retreat?
In a world where people are constantly looking for answers outside themselves, this retreat is about reconnecting with your inner compass and becoming your own muse and guru. It's about finding the answers to your problems within yourself without having to constantly chase validation from other people and so called "health experts". This retreat is about falling in love with yourself and your life all lover again. Appreciating your unique qualities, connecting with yourself and letting that unique spark drive your actions and the way you live life.
Regardless of the ups and downs life throws at you, your unique deep wisdom and heart know better how to navigate any storm. Learning how to silence the mind and listen to the answers of your heart is a skill every woman has but has been forgotten because of the disconnected lifestyle we live in these modern times.
Be Your Muse is all about finding inspiration, passion and creativity within yourself without relying on external sources. It's about letting go of control and opening yourself up to your unique gifts as a woman. And it's also about the power of the community that gathers together in this experience.
This retreat invites you to carve out real quality time with yourself, discover the joy of slowing down, savouring every moment and finding joy in the little things like long brunches followed by walks on the beach and exploring some new destination with like minded women who call each other to feel vibrant and alive!
Together we will cry, laugh, share glasses of rose while watching the sunset around the dinner table and cherish unforgettable moments. It will feel like coming home to yourself, becoming the confident and empowered woman deep down you know you already are.
In the course of these 6 days you will fall in love with who you are, every bit of it, a wrinkle in the corner of your eyes as well as the grey hair and every perfect imperfection that you are. You'll remember what it's like to get that butterfly feeling of excitement in your tummy because you woke up to another day and you get to do life all over again.
Where?
Kea Island is special because it offers an authentic, peaceful escape just an hour from Athens, featuring lush greenery, ancient ruins and a well-preserved network of historic hiking trails. It remains relatively untouched by mass tourism, providing quiet beaches, charming traditional villages with unique tile roofs, and a slower pace of life for those seeking quiet beauty and Greek hospitality.
Our luxury villa is a tranquil oasis located on the top of the mountain with incredible views of the sea and the famous Kea Monastery which is walking distance. It's truly the most magical space to slow down from the hustle of life and recharge.
