The Retreat
‘Sail & (Re)connect’ is a 7 Day Sailing and Holistic Living Retreat interweaving movement, nature connection, and heart-body-soul nourishment.
This is an invitation to drop into to your body, ground through movement, to expand through breath and meditation and to cultivate a holistic and caring way of living and relating to nature and yourself.
The essence of this sailing journey is to return to a relational being.
Each day we will flow in joyful movement and sink into peaceful stillness creating a gentle rhythm that supports us on our personal and collective journey. We'll nourish ourselves from the inside out, honoring the earth's gifts through intentional cooking and eating but also through meditation, breath and movement practises that help us in (re)connecting more deeply and carefully to nature and our beautiful surroundings.
Sailing allows us to easily come into the present moment. Connected and held by the water day in and day out, we will embrace slowness and immerse ourselves in the beautiful nature of the Greek islands. Together we will explore hidden beaches and secluded bays and sim in the crystal clear waters of the Aegean sea.
This is already Ava and Clara's 3rd sailing retreat as co-fascilitators!
With this journey we wish to create a space to (re)connect, nourish and regenerate.
What you will learn
Constance-founder of Sailing your Inspiration will offer a personal 1 : 1 opening session (online) where you will have the chance to share your wishes and expectations of the retreat and connect to your unique intention for this soul journey. This helps us to create a bespoke offering and prepare a supportive groupfield. Together with Ava and Clara she will welcome you on board for the opening celebration!
Clara will lead daily yoga and embodiment practices. In energising flows we'll connect breath to movement, inviting joy and playfulness into our practice. In restorative yin yoga we’ll find stillness and expansion in our bodies, welcome softness and create space for deep rest. Using our breath to cleanse, activate, balance and soften, we’ll (re)connect the intuitive wisdom of our bodies.
Ava will guide meditations and exercises for connecting more intimately with yourself and nature. Offering daily rituals and practices that honor nature's wisdom and medicine while cultivating a more harmonious relationship with the earth.
Prepare yourself for culinary delights as Ava and Clara infuse their creative passion and deep joy for nourishing others through food into the heart of this experience. With intention and care, they craft vibrant, wholesome meals that honor both our bodies and the earth, transforming cooking into a celebration of connection, sustainability, and heartfelt nourishment.

Participants about the sailing trip
Fabi
The sailing retreat had a deep and sustainable effect on my connection with myself! Being close to the water, widening the horizon, breathing salty air and - most importantly - practicing asanas and meditation, I felt that being in the moment and having a calm inner life even in troubled times is actually possible. Ava and Clara guided us with unique gentleness, clarity and humour. I feel profoundly embraced and stabilised.’
Nina
This Sailing retreat was much more than just beautiful days at sea in best company. It was a deep journey of connection- with the land, nature, the other participants, my body and myself. The support of Constance, Clara and Ava encourages you to let go. I was able to surrender to my inner process and trust that everything was just as it was meant to be.
