The Aegean Śakti Mandala Ios Retreat
Where Wellbeing Meets Cycladic Elegance

Set between sea, sound, and sky, the Śakti Mandala Awakening Journey is a three-day immersive experience on the island of Ios, created in partnership with Śakti Sphere, Ios Club, and Liostasi Hotel. Designed to restore balance, clarity, and embodied presence, the journey weaves mandala wisdom, breath, movement, sound, and ritual within the natural rhythms of the Cyclades.

Guests are held within a refined flow of experiences — sunset sound immersions at Ios Club, integrative practices and conscious dining, restorative rest at Liostasi Hotel, and a Fēng Shuî Alchemy workshop exploring harmony between inner and outer landscapes. Optional culinary, sea, and spa experiences further invite connection to the land, flavours, and waters of Ios.

This is an invitation to slow down, attune, and realign — where awakening unfolds through light, music, movement, and the quiet intelligence of place.

The Śakti Mandala Respire · Âme Retreat

Provence Edition — Villa des Baumes

A sanctuary of breath, beauty, and embodied awakening in the heart of Provence. The Śakti Mandala Respire · Âme Retreat — Provence Edition is an intimate three-day immersion for individuals and conscious collectives seeking refined self-connection, embodied vitality, and elevated inner harmony.

Inspired by l’art de l’harmonie intérieure et extérieure — the art of inner and outer harmony — the retreat unfolds as a living dialogue between self-cultivation and sensory presence. Here, breath, movement and human design awakening become the bridge between the physical, energetic, and poetic self, guiding participants into a state of integrated awareness and quiet coherence.

Through the integration of the Śakti Mandala Awakening Journey (Śakti Sphere) and the evocative somatic methodologies of Poesia Somatica (Marcella Carrara), participants are led through a deeply personalised pathway of renewal. This refined fusion of energy work, somatic awareness, and creative expression cultivates a space that is both grounding and expansive — where inner alignment is reflected effortlessly in the outer experience.

Nestled in the heart of Provence, embraced by eight hectares of fragrant pine forest and rolling hills, Villa des Baumes offers a sanctuary of stillness, refinement, and elemental beauty. This private estate unfolds across an expansive 3000 square metres of secluded grounds, where nature and architecture exist in quiet, effortless harmony.

The villa hosts three serene shared accommodation bedrooms alongside the independent Olea Studio, a garden-facing sanctuary designed for restoration and solitude which accommodates four persons. The Musa Bajoo Double Room frames gentle views across the hills, while the Pakira Trio Suite and Æonium Trio Room open onto a balcony overlooking a cypress-lined patio, offering soft vistas of the gardens and pool.

Seasonal nourishment is curated by a private chef, offering refined, locally inspired cuisine guided by the rhythms of the land and the desires of each guest — an elegant expression of Provençal abundance.

Across three days, guests are immersed in a refined rhythm of:

• Somatic movement & soft body engineering to restore fluidity and release held tension by Poesia Somatica using a unique methodology that combines the Feldenkrais® Method and movement by certified Holistic Therapist Marcella Carrara

• The uniquely created Śakti Mandala 8-Fold Pathway by Bav Tailor, is an immersive journey that supports the release of limiting patterns, awakening the soul essence whilst anchoring one’s inner and outer ecologies. Integrating ancient wisdom with modern modalities, the experience weaves together Neurowellness through Fēng Shuî Alchemy, Human Design Mechanics, Yogic and Shaolin Arts movement.

• Pranayama breathwork practices attuned to the pine-rich air and natural cadence of Provence

• Seasonal, chef-curated dining experiences to nourish body and senses

• Sauna and Outdoor Pool Facilities

• Moments of stillness and integration within nature, gardens, and private sanctuaries

This retreat is a threshold — a subtle yet profound recalibration of breath, body, and awareness.

Participants leave with embodied tools, refined sensitivity, and a renewed relationship to their inner landscape. The experience supports the harmonisation of mind, body, and energetic fields, cultivating clarity, creative expansion, and a deeper sense of purpose.

In the stillness of Provence — amidst pine, light, and breath — a quiet transformation unfolds, one that continues to resonate long beyond the retreat itself.

A Sacred 6-nights Nile Passage Through the Temples of Light.

Embark on a sacred journey along the Nile onboard a Dahabyia, where ancient wisdom and modern soul awakening meet. This immersive retreat invites you to sail through Egypt’s sacred spaces, attune to the cosmic energies of the land, and reconnect with your inner divinity through curated rituals, mindful movement and Śakti Sphere teachings. Held aboard a luxury vessel, the experience offers a harmonious blend of serenity, spiritual activation and cultural immersion — guiding each guest to awaken deeper purpose, clarity and remembrance within the cradle of civilisation.

Conceived as a living mandala of movement, water, and remembrance, the Śakti Mandala Awakening Journey unfolds in sacred partnership with a luxury private artisanal dahabyia devoted to refined, soulful travel, alongside Eatducate and Zohra, whose shared ethos honours conscious nourishment, cultural heritage, and embodied learning.

The journey opens in Cairo, where ancient geometry and celestial intelligence set the tone for initiation. Guests are guided into a contemplative meditation overlooking the Giza Pyramids, attuning to the primordial codes of land, stone, and sky. These opening days also include a Fēng Shuî aromatherapy essential oils workshop, exploring elemental and directional resonance through plant essences, as well as a specially curated museum visit offering intimate access to Egypt’s artistic and symbolic lineage. Culinary and sensory moments inspired by Eatducate and Zohra gently weave food, storytelling, and cultural transmission into the experience, grounding spiritual insight through taste, ritual, and shared table.

From Cairo, the sacred passage continues south to Aswan, where we embark the Nile Divine dahabyia to commence the voyage in conscious presence and devotion. Sailing northward, guests are carried through the river’s most energetically charged thresholds — from Isis’ sanctuary at Philae, through the luminous temple of Edfu, to the monumental landscapes of Luxor — allowing awakening to unfold in layers, from inner remembrance to outward expression. Each passage becomes a ritual in motion, guided by the Nile’s timeless rhythm and curated through Śakti Sphere self-mastery practices, elemental anchoring, sensory attunement, and moments of conscious nourishment.

As you sail between temples, silence, and celestial horizons, the dahabyia itself becomes a ceremonial vessel — holding space for deep remembrance, energetic recalibration, and embodied return to inner clarity through soul alignment. From Isis’ devotion, to Horus’ awakening vision, to Karnak’s cosmic order, the journey culminates in Luxor, inviting participants to integrate insight, purpose, and presence as they complete the mandala. Drift between worlds and anchor in sacred presence with Bav Tailor and her Śakti Sphere Artists, within the eternal cradle of civilisation.
