IKARIA HOLISTIC AND LONGEVITY RETREAT

FIND YOUR PATH IN IKARIA AND IN THE "WHOLE WORLD"… THE ART OF WELL-BEING

A life changing experience in "the island where people forget to die". We offer a 7-day program of activities that address the wholeness of being which is body, mind and soul, in harmony with nature and the local community. The program has been developed and applied by both Mrs Angeliki

Douka (Bs of Physical Education, MA in Psychology of Motor Behavior, PhD in Psychology of Sports and Aqua Fitness Expert) and Mrs Kyriaki Spanou (BS in Philosophy, MA in Theatre) The program is a wholesome life changing experience, that focuses on well being and longevity. The program refers to the Greek philosophy and the idea of happiness as a balance of body, mind and soul. The 7-day program takes place in the Aegean island of Ikaria, one of the five Blue Zone places in the world. Dan Beuttner, founder of Blue Zones, has announced that IKARIA is the “5th land of longevity” on the planet. The inhabitants of Ikaria are globally famous for living a long and serene life due to their stress - free everyday life, healthy nutrition, community bonds and their easy going philosophy of living. Nearly one of three Ikarians make it to their 90s. Their diet contains over 150 different antioxidant-rich HORTA or wild greens, organic fruits and vegetables, unique and rich flavored, honey, fresh goat milk and organic herbs. Most Ikarians eat little and walk long distances from one place to another. They laugh and greet you warm and sincere. They will often take you to their homes. One thing most Ikarians will never stop doing is: GIVING. In the midst of the unspoiled island of Ikaria, where people forget to die, we designed a program that offers an altogether "different" life changing experience based on the holistic approach to being as understood by Greek philosophy. It takes place either at the beginning or at the end of summer. The program has been developed and applied by both Mrs Angeliki Douka (Bs of Physical Education, MA in Psychology of Motor Behavior, PhD in Psychology of Sports and Aqua Fitness Expert) and Mrs Kyriaki Spanou (BS in Philosophy, MA in Theatre)

The program is a wholesome life changing experience, that focuses on well being and longevity. Aristotle was convinced that a genuinely happy life requires the fulfillment of a broad range of conditions, including physical as well as mental.

The island of Ikaria is a special place that we absolutely fell in love with 💘 Ikaria is one of the 5 places in the world that has been designated as a blue zone- an area of the world where people live exceptionally long, healthy lives. I am offering a study abroad course to Ikaria for UVM students next summer and I was fortunate to be able to make a preliminary trip to meet up with my collaborators, Angeliki Douka and Kyriaki Spanou and their Ikaria-Longevity retreat. They were the most patient hosts and we learned so much from them. I included only a small fraction of the photos I took!! We did so much and I am so incredibly grateful to Angeliki and Kyriaki and every other person we met in Ikaria ❤️🇬🇷

From DAILY TELEGRAPH
The miraculous one: Ikaria
Known as the island ‘where people forget to die’, you can expect to see a lot of tanned elderly folk when you hop off the plane in Ikaria; one in three inhabitants make it to their 90s on this tiny island 30 miles from Turkey’s western coast, making it one of only five Blue Zone destinations (famed for their residents’ longevity) in the world.

Apart from health-giving hot springs and pristine beaches, locals will tell you that even the hearty red wine on their island (where legend says Dionysos was born) has miraculous powers.
