Our invitation for you

Nestled within the endless blue of the sea, the generous warmth and radiant light, gently embraced by the soft wind — this is the Greek island of Zakynthos in the Ionian Sea.

Here, we invite you to reconnect with the beauty, peace, and freedom that nourish your aliveness.

Wild Peace

When we allow ourselves to fully feel again, a natural connection with the world around us begins to emerge.

Our heart is our home — the place from where we can explore new experiences and discoveries.

Our senses are gateways to deeper presence, intimacy, and a more fulfilling experience of life.

The scent of a shared meal, the warmth of the sun on your skin, a refreshing swim in the sea, honest encounters, and the silence of nature remind us of how rich and precious life truly is.

Especially in a world filled with uncertainty, challenges, and confusion, we invite you to enter a space where you can learn to feel safe within yourself again by attuning to the wise rhythm of your heart.

The Poetry of Your Life

In this space, beauty does not remain abstract, but becomes a living and deeply embodied experience in every moment.

Your body will experience what it feels like to meet every aspect of life with mindfulness and presence.

Every conversation, every encounter, and every experience becomes a gift of joy, love, and presence.

Through a combination of spiritual, somatic, and body-based practices, you will be gently guided to release old tensions and layers held within your body that no longer serve you.

You are invited to open your heart again, feel more lightness within your body, and reconnect with your natural vitality.

Imagine meeting your everyday life with a clear mind, a soft and open heart, and a deep sense of trust and inner peace.

Imagine allowing yourself once again to wonder, to feel, and to recognize the beauty within the simple things in life.

This is exactly what we wish to remind you of during this retreat.

This is a retreat for the senses, the soul and to remember the Poetry of Life.

Soul Food

For us, food is a profound expression of love and pleasure — in transforming the gifts of Mother Earth, connecting with our bodies, and celebrating meals together with others.

Food connects us to the land and the earth; it is an expression of creativity and biocultural heritage. Food is ritual, food is creation, and food is connection.

Our approach to cooking is joyful and playful. With every shared meal, we invite you to explore new worlds of flavor with childlike curiosity, expanding your senses along the way.

During the retreat, Clara & Fina (Studio Schlemmer, Munich) will nourish both body and soul with fresh, seasonal dishes that honor the land and culture of Zakynthos. All meals are plant-based, with vegetarian options available (such as local cheese or honey), and prepared fresh each day.

In our shared cooking workshop, you will be invited to let your senses guide you: discover, taste, and create new culinary expressions through childlike curiosity and playfulness.

You will learn fascinating insights about the local and seasonal plants of Zakynthos and transform them in creative and inspiring ways into delicious meals.

Studio Schlemmer

Founded over a shared love for food that nourishes body, soul and earth, Studio Schlemmer is a creative culinary collective based in Munich. We host supper clubs, community events and share recipes that centre seasonal and local produce. Everything we cook and eat is plant based as we not only want to encourage a respectful, non-violent approach to food but are also endlessly inspired by the abundance of flavours, textures, colours and origins of plants.
