Be.In Paros, Greece ~
October 4–10, 2027
a cultural and Yoga retreat ~ savoring spaciousness
limited space ~ 8 spots left
With thousands of islands scattered across its seas,
choosing where to experience Greece can feel almost impossible.
Slow down with me and soak in the soul of Paros…
Why Paros?
Paros lies in the Cyclades, a constellation of more than 200 islands in the heart of the Aegean Sea. There are whitewashed fishing villages, blue-domed churches, winding stone lanes, vineyards and farms, cafés, ancient footpaths and gorgeous turquoise water in every direction :)
But Paros spoke to me for reasons beyond its beauty.
It embodies Greece with enchanting villages, hidden gems, extraordinary food,
history, culture AND the Aegean Sea AND as I looked at different locations I found something I personally cherish …
Spaciousness!!
Space to pause and ponder, to move and breathe, to do and not to do.
So when I discovered the soulful, architecturally award winning Parīlio Boutique Resort, everything just clicked.
Why Parīlio?
~ Parīlio translates to “the sun’s aura”, the Cycladic sun washed architecture streams throughout the property …
~ Its restaurant, Parōn translates to “the present time”
~ Parīlio's emblem is inspired by The Fat Lady of Saliagos, an ancient marble figurine discovered in the Cyclades. For me, the simple curves of this remarkable figure evokes feminine beauty and power while connecting us to the fluid,
ancient soul, sea and extraordinary light of the Aegean.
I have one more thing to share ( quietly, shhhh :)
Paros was voted the number #1 island in the WORLD by Travel + Leisure in 2025
~ Our time together:
Paros is roughly 13 miles long and 8 miles wide making it accessible to explore in a relaxed way, encouraging us to soak in Greek culture, the sunshine and the breeze, lingering over conversations and meals :)
We will explore sandy coves and beaches, tiny chapels and olive groves,
strolling car free villages, walking a 1000 yr old foot path …
These are just a few snapshots into our time together :)

Our ITINERARY includes below while noting some changes may occur due to weather and : or ideal scheduling ~
Day 1 ~ ARRIVE + BE.HERE
Arrive and settle into Parilio… Take a swim, walk to the beach, book a massage… as you wish! Yoga TBD, Welcome drinks and an amazing dinner to follow!
Day 2 ~ AWAKEN + BE.CURIOUS
Unravel from travel with morning Yoga before an incredible delicious, decadent breakfast ( the first of many! ) If you are up early enjoy a coffee or tea on your patio and soak in the sea breeze coming up from below. After getting ready for the day, we will head out in our private coach for a tour of the island and some gorgeous sights within Naoussa, guided by a local. There will be wandering, local tastings and delights and a surprise or two to enjoy and culture as we settle into some spaciousness. Upon return the late afternoon and evening are yours to enjoy exploring or relaxing by the pool :)
Day 3 ~ ROOT TO BE.CONNECTED
Flow with me this morning before another delicious breakfast and then we head inland. Our private coach will take us to Lefkes, tucked into the mountains at the highest point of the island. From here, I’m holding a few cards close but I will tell you that we'll set out on foot along a 1,000-year-old Byzantine path that has connected these villages for centuries. Olive groves, ancient stone and marble beneath our feet, tiny villages and a deeper glimpse into the history and everyday life of Paros await us. Depending on what time we return back home perhaps a few yin shapes will call us to the mat before the evening becomes yours to wander into Naoussa, to visit the spa, maybe it will be room service :)
Day 4 ~ EXHALE + BE.RELAXED ( As relaxed as you can BE! )
Do. Not. Leave. Parilio OR go on an adventure!! After Yoga and breakfast the day and evening are yours to do as you wish! Of course I have several ideas and things to consider on site, exploring beaches, lounging at a café or strolling new villages, you could even take the ferry to AntiParos, a hop, skip and jump away!
Close to home, float in the unique cross shaped pool or head to the beach, book a massage, read, rest, enjoy the beautiful nothingness of an unscheduled day!
Day 5 ~ EXPAND + BE.FREE (Day 5 Schedule + Day 6 may flip flop )
Sleep in and enjoy waking without an alarm! Today, we are headed for a traditional Greek cooking class about 11 am! Donning our aprons this is a hands on experience with wine and beverages and of course a fantastic lunch that we have co created! We will return about 4 pm with happy and full bellies and hearts and … well, I’ll meet you at the pool to relax! Evening is on your own to enjoy.
Day 6 ~ SAVOR TO BE.PRESENT + CHOOSE what’s right for YOU!
Enjoy our final yoga session and a relaxed breakfast. Depending on the weather, some beach time may speak to you … OR… what has lit you up this week that you feel like enjoying for the sake of enjoyment? Follow the beautiful breadcrumbs ( maybe literally :) until our final afternoon / early evening experience together with closing festivities … For the moment, it’s a surprise but it involves bubbles, beverages and delightful local foods!
Day 7 ~ CARRY IT HOME, BE.FULL OF MEMORIES
Awaken at your leisure before your travels carry you onwards. I’ll see you at Breakfast for hugs until next time. XOK
