Nature is very much alive and conscious. Listen and it will show you everything. Connecting with the element of Water is the same as deeply connecting to yourself. You are connecting with the source of life itself, and we just happen to be the same thing. It can be a deeply moving, powerful
reminder that we are all much more than the physical. The Water can help us restore the most joyful, empowering expressions of ourselves.
To breathe well is to live well. Most of us aren’t even aware of the quality of our breathing and how deeply it affects our mental/emotional/physical well being. Have you ever noticed your breath when you are super stressed? Have you ever noticed your breath when you are deeply relaxed?
During this retreat we will be showing you the beauty and simplicity of breath techniques to empower your life with! We will be guiding and teaching you breathing for relaxation, breathing for more energy, breathing to facilitate deep transformation and, of course, breathing techniques for freediving.
It’s ALL connected.
Freediving is the art of moving underwater on one single breath. Whether you’re in the pool or the open ocean, diving for depth or having fun exploring the magic of the sea, freediving invites you to have an intimate experience of yourself as you develop your relationship with your breath and the water around you. It encourages you to stay focused on the present moment, slow down and master your breath control. By restoring the mind-body connection, you are better equipped to cope with everyday stress and pressure.
“Freediving is not only a sport, it’s a way to understanding who we are” -

Mermaiding is a creative self-expression art form that allows individuals to embody the mythical mermaid or merman persona. It's a unique blend of underwater performance, costume design, swimming with a mermaid tail and artistic expression. Becoming a mermaid starts with connecting to your inner calm, empowered self, integrating the breath hold skills of freediving, embodying your unique mermaid persona & concluding with the complete magical transformation into an aquatic mermaid fantasy.
What’s truly captivating is that mermaids exist in the mythology, symbolism and folklore of cultures across the world. They are depicted as half- human, half fish-like beings with supernatural powers, connecting the land to sea life. Some even believe they are the guardians of the ocean, maintaining balance within the marine ecosystem.
Mermaiding is all about bringing the magical mermaid fantasy to life with your own personal flare. It’s a transformative journey where the boundaries of reality and fantasy intertwine. When fully immersed in the water, mind attuned to the present moment, and body relaxed, a magical energy unfolds. Imagination is unleashed, dreams take flight and the ordinary is transformed into the extraordinary.

“Since I have had the honour and pleasure of meeting you and being introduced to the mediation my life has a new energy which has never been available to me. The changes in my thought process and the gratitude I have for being alive every day is incredible, the emotions I am feeling of love towards my children and wife are amazing.”
Boris
“How is it for me? I have experienced a very rapid and direct change in my depth. My trust has grown and I have been gripped by a shattering reverence for our earth, which makes this life and experience possible. A new perspective has revealed this truth to me through devotion. Devotion, which I have been practicing in my profession for decades, has become more concrete and binding for me in a spiritual sense.”

One day, Valentin Schreyer heard a mantra recording in a yoga studio that he had started going to because of a lack of answers about his life. It came from Krishna Das, who would later become his teacher. That day was the first time he felt like he was coming home.
Then something took off: it began with a chanting practice within his own four walls, followed by invitations to chant in living rooms and yoga studios, at retreats and festivals, at weddings and funerals.
Along the way, he was given the name Dheera Das, which means Servant of the Courageous Heart. With his own musical compositions, traditional melodies from India, but also familiar tunes from Krishna Das, he passes on in his tradition what is called Nama Sankirtan: The Mantras of the Holy Names.

Guru Purnima, the full moon day dedicated to all teachers of wisdom and awakening. Guru is not a human being, though human beings channel the Guru. Guru is the power of grace itself, the power that removes obstacles to knowing your Self as the Self of all, as the Heart of reality, as the love that cannot be destroyed! Salutations to the Guru, whose only form is truth,and by whose grace the world reveals itself as a part of your own Awareness!

The Retreat is located about 30 minutes south of the city of Kalamata, in a quiet olive grove amidst a stunning nature spread of olive groves and rocky terrain. Kalamata is about a 2-2.5 hour drive from Athens on the Southern tip of the Peloponnese. Kalamata’s location marks the beginning of the incredible Mani, a peninsula stemmed by the magnificent Taygetos Mountain range, which also features some of the most picturesque seaside small towns, variegated beaches, byzantine churches, medieval Towers, and traditional stone-housed mountain villages.

Abundant bushes of rosemary, thyme and oregano scent a gentle stroll around the grounds.

The nearest bigbeaches are Kitries (10 minutes drive) and Kardamyli (30 minutes). Both are stone and pebble.

The retreat is located about 30 minutes South of the city of Kalamata, in a quiet olive grove amidst the sea and blue skies. The closest village to us is Kallianeika.
1. Drive on the new freeway from Athens to Kalamata, and be prepared to stop frequently for tolls. Expect to pay around 15€ each way. It may take you 2-2.5 hours to reach Kalamata.
2. Stay on the freeway and exit Kalamata heading towards Areopolis and Kitries. After the freeway ends, you will pass Lidl, and a café called Cosi on the right, and then the road forks and you see a road sign. At this point you have the option of heading up towards the mountain towards Areopolis and Kardamyli, or taking a right towards the sea and Kitries. You can reach us either way. We are giving you directions through the coastal road here, as it may be easier to find our location this way.
3. Take a right towards Kitries and drive down the coast for about 10-15 minutes. Right as you approach Kitries, the road goes uphill. There is a big retaining wall right in front of you, causing you to almost stop. You see a road sign for Doloi.
4. Make a sharp left up the mountain towards Doloi.
5. Drive for 5 minutes until you reach the village of Kalianeika.
6. When you reach Kalianeika, stop in front of the church and set your odometer to 0.
7. Drive for one kilometer, and you will come to switch back turn where you will see a fence with big cacti and a huge rock. You are getting close.
8. Immediately afterwards, you see a second switch back turn and a couple small signs for Zen Rocks. At this point leave the asphalt road and enter a smaller cement farm road. Drive 200 meters on cement, and then another 400 meters of dirt road. At this point you will see the electrical posts and a cement road up on your left. This is our private drive way to Zen Rocks.
(Attention: our drive way is the SECOND paved road you see on your left. Do not take the first one, right where the cement ends… wait till you drive the extra 400 meters of dirt and pebble road and you come across the electrical wires and big posts… at this point you will also notice that the farm road you are on is covered with the cement of our paved drive way.)
9. Go left on our cement road. It is a sharp incline. Come up on first gear and full throttle. Small cars will do fine if you know how to drive fearlessly.
10. Welcome to Zen Rocks.
As Zen master Thich Nhat Hahn says: YOU HAVE ARRIVED!
Το Zen Rocks Mani βρίσκεται σε απόσταση περίπου 30 λεπτών Νότια από τη πόλη της Καλαμάτας, ανάμεσα σε ήσυχους ελαιώνες, τον ουρανό και τη θάλασσα! Το κοντινότερο χωριό είναι τα Καλλιανέικα.
1. Πάρτε τη νέα εθνική οδό απο την Αθήνα προς τη Καλαμάτα οπου θα χρειαστεί να σταματήσετε συχνά σε σταθμούς διοδίων. Υπολογείστε οτι το συνολικό κόστος των διοδίων θα ειναι 15€ η διαδρομή. Η απόσταση ειναι περιπου 2-2.5 ώρες απο την Αθήνα μέχρι να φτάσετε στη Καλαμάτα.
2. Μείνετε στην εθνική οδό και βγείτε στην έξοδο της Καλαμάτας με κατεύθυνσή προς Αρεόπολη και Κιτριές. Όταν τελειώσει η εθνική οδός, θα συναντήσετε ένα σούπερ μάρκετ Lidl και μια καφετέρια στα δεξιά σας που ονομάζεται Cosi. Σε εκείνο το σημείο ο δρόμος χωρίζεται και θα δείτε μια πινακίδα. Σε αυτό ακριβώς το σημείο, έχετε την επιλογή είτε να συνεχίσετε προς το βουνό με κατεύθυνση προς Αρεόπολη και Καρδαμύλη είτε να πάρετε το δρόμοι που είναι στα δεξιά σας που πάει μέσω του παραλιακού δρόμου στις Κιτριές. Όποιο δρόμο και να πάρετε μπορείτε να έρθετε στο Zen Rocks Mani. Εμείς παρακάτω σας δίνουμε οδηγίες από το παραλιακό δρόμο μιας και θεωρούμε ότι είναι ο πιο εύκολος δρόμος για να έρθετε.
3. Κάνετε δεξιά προς Κιτριές και οδηγείτε στο παραλιακό δρόμο για περίπου 10-15 λεπτά. Στο σημείο που έχετε φτάσει σχεδό στις Κιτριές, ο δρόμος έχει μια ανηφόρα. Στο σημείο αυτό υπάρχει ένας μεγάλος τοίχος μπροστά σας που σας αναγκάζει σχεδόν να σταματήσετε. Εκεί βλέπετε μια πινακίδα προς Δολούς.
4. Εκεί αριστερά προς το βουνό με κατεύθυνση προς Δολούς.
5. Οδηγείστε προς τα επάνω αυτόν τον δρόμο με τις στροφές, για 5 λεπτά μέχρι να βρείτε το χωριό Καλιανέϊκα.
6. Όταν φτάσετε στα Καλιανέϊκα, σταματήστε μπροστά από την εκκλησία και ρυθμίστε το μετρητή χιλιομέτρων σας στο 0.
7. Οδηγείστε για 1 χιλιόμετρο και θα δείτε μια στροφή φουρκέτα, η οποία σας φέρνει προς τα δεξια. Εκεί θα δείτε ένα φράχτη με μεγάλους κάκτους και ένα τεράστιο βράχο. Πλησιάζετε!
8. Αμέσως μετά βλέπετε μια ακόμα στροφή φουρκέτα που στρίβει τον δρόμο προς τα αριστερά. Θα δείτε δύο μικρές πινακίδες για το Zen Rocks. Σε αυτό το σημείο αφήνετε το ασφαλτοστρωμένο δρόμο και μπαίνετε προς τα δεξιά σε έναν μικρό αγροτικό δρόμο από τσιμέντο.Οδηγείστε για 200 μέτρα στο τσιμεντένιο επαρχιακό δρόμο και άλλα 400 μέτρα σε χωματόδρομο. Ακολουθήστε τις πινακίδες για να μην μπείτε στον ελαιώνα που είναι πριν από εμάς. Περιμένετε να δείτε το σημείο με την πινακίδα του Zen Rocks να δείχνει τον ανηφορικό ιδιωτικό τσιμεντένιο δρόμο στα αριστερά σας. Είναι που θα σας φέρει στο κατάλυμα.
Σε αυτό το σημείο και μόνο θα δείτε και τους στύλους της ΔΕΗ να ανεβαίνουν προς τα πάνω.
9. Κάντε αριστερά σε αυτόν τον τσιμεντένιο δρόμο. Έχει έντονη ανηφορική κλίση, οπότε βάλτε πρώτη ταχύτητα για να ανεβείτε. Ακόμα και μικρά αυτοκίνητα ανεβαίνουν άνετα. Είναι λίγο σα να ανεβαίνετε ίσια πάνω στον ουρανό, στα σύννεφα… Απογειώνεστε λοιπόν.
10. 5 Δευτερόπτα μετά: Καλώς ορίσατε στο Zen Rocks Mani. Χαλαρώστε και απολαύστε τη διαμονή σας!
Όπως λέει και ο δάσκαλος του Ζεν Thich Nhat Hahn: You have arrived! Pause. Enjoy!
