My name is Rachel Thomas and I will be your wellness retreat hostess. I have spent the past 25 years discovering and teaching about how humans have depended on the earth for their health.
I first fell in love with the goddesses of Antiquity as a Greek-American girl growing up in Brooklyn. For me, being in Greece unlocks my passion to understand these powerful, and currently vanquished, queens of heaven. Tasting the ancient recipes for health, standing on the sites where the mother earth was worshiped and seeing the millennia of artwork with clues to how ancient people survived using only the tools that nature gave them.
Package includes 6 nights lodging. Also included are breakfasts, all meals scheduled at home, transportation for excursions, museum and site entrance fees, and other retreat activities. Private sessions with Rachel Thomas are available for $120 and must be arranged in advance.
Participants should bring money for meals out, personal transport and some very fun shopping! We also suggest using a travel insurance for added security. Please check weather reports before packing so you know what to expect!
Meals at home are vegan, with optional poultry, seafood or dairy options on the side. Please let us know any food sensitivities or preferences so we can be sure to accommodate you with something yummy!
