đź’« A Journey to the Heart of Ancient Greece

I write this under the Mediterranean sun — the same light that once illuminated the temples of Apollo and the healing sanctuaries of Asclepius. 

 

 

The same sea breeze that carried the whispers of the oracle still moves through the olive trees, calling us home.

 

 

This is more than a retreat.

 


It’s a pilgrimage into the heart of your own mythology — a sacred adventure designed for the modern traveler who craves both meaning and magic, both rest and revelation.

 

 

From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel it — the warmth of Greek Filotimo, the ancient art of heartfelt hospitality that makes every guest feel like an extension of our family. 

 

 

Every detail, every meal, every transition from land to sea is infused with care, presence, and the unspoken promise: you are safe here.

 

 

For 7 days, you’ll journey through the sacred lands of Greece — immersing yourself in yoga, breathwork, and ancient healing rituals while exploring white-washed villages, turquoise waters, and mythic landscapes that pulse with the memory of the gods.

A Transformational Wellness Retreat with 

Greek-American Sisters 

Athanasia & MaryAnngeline Medenas

Each day, you’ll awaken your body through movement and mindfulness — then feed your soul with local food, cultural exploration, and connection to something greater than yourself.

 

 

Together, we’ll walk in the footsteps of the ancients — from temples and mountain caves to the luminous waters of the Aegean — discovering how their stories were never just history… they were medicine.

 

 

And through it all, you’ll be held.

 


You’ll be guided by us, two Greek-American sisters — Athanasia and MaryAnngeline — carrying both the ancestral lineage of this land and a lifetime of devotion to healing, movement, and transformation.

 

 

With every transfer arranged, every meal thoughtfully prepared, and every sacred space lovingly curated, you’ll be free to surrender — knowing that we are tending to your experience with the care we would offer our own family.

 

 

This journey bridges myth and modernity, science and spirit, luxury and soul — created for the conscious, high-achieving traveler who desires to:

 

   🌿 Reconnect with the wisdom of your body, mind, spirit and the Earth


.   🌺 Release stress and restore balance through yoga, meditation & breathwork


.   🔥 Reignite passion and purpose through the power of myth and ancient stories


.    🌊 Experience the joy of travel as a sacred act of remembrance & spiritual experience


.    🩵 Feel the deep comfort of being taken care of — not as a tourist, but as family

The Essence of the Myth & Medicine Retreat

You’ll return home radiant — sun-kissed, inspired, and grounded in your power.

 


You’ll carry with you not just memories of Greece…
but the medicine of myth — the reminder that you, too, are a living story of transformation.

 

 

Because in Greece, you are never a stranger.

 


You are welcomed with open arms, nourished like kin, and celebrated as part of something ancient and eternal.

 


This is Filotimo.

 


This is the Greek way — the way of love, honor, and belonging.

 

 

Filotimo is the sacred Greek essence of generosity and care that transforms hospitality into kinship. 

 

 

The way you aren’t just a participant…you become family.

 

Come to Myth & Medicine and remember what the ancients knew: 

That wellness is not a trend — 

it's a way of being in harmony with life itself.

This journey is for the conscious traveler — the one who longs to feel alive again.

 

 

It’s for the woman (and the rare man) who’s been giving their all — to work, to family, to the world — and is finally ready to receive.

 


To exhale.


To let someone else organize the details so you can simply be.

 

 

This retreat is for you if you crave…

 

    🌿 Adventure with depth — exploring ancient temples, mountain caves, and crystalline seas while weaving in yoga, breathwork, and meditation that bring you home to your center.

 

 

    💫 Cultural immersion with soul — connecting to the mythic stories, sacred sites, and living wisdom of Greece through guided experiences that honor the spirit of the land.

 

 

   🌺 Wellness that transforms — practices rooted in embodiment, ritual, and restoration designed to reset your nervous system and renew your light.

 

 

    🏛 Connection through Filotimo — the Greek way of living with honor, generosity, and love. You’ll be welcomed not as a guest, but as family — nurtured, guided, and cared for every step of the way.

 

 

    🌊 Luxury with meaning — enjoying exquisite meals, serene accommodations, and effortless travel logistics — all designed so you can relax into the beauty of simply receiving.

 

 

    🔥 Inspiration and awakening — for the high-achiever ready to shift from striving to surrender, from doing to being, from burnout to brilliance.

If your soul lights up at the thought of wandering ancient ruins by day and watching the sunset from a seaside taverna by night...

If your heart longs to reconnect to something bigger than yourself — to myth, to magic, to meaning…


Then Myth & Medicine was written in the stars for you.

Come as you are.

Leave as you were always meant to be — radiant, renewed, and deeply rooted in the heart of Greece. 🇬🇷✨

Frequently Asked Qestions

If your question isn't answered here, shoot an email to info@kineesi.com

I’m so busy with work and family — how can I possibly step away for a whole week?

That’s exactly why this retreat exists. You spend so much time taking care of everyone else, holding the weight of your career, your family, and your community. 

 

But who’s holding you? 

 

Crete is your sacred pause — the place where you remember that when you fill your own cup first, you actually return home more grounded, present, and loving. 

 

This isn’t just time away from your responsibilities… it’s time into your most authentic self.


I’ve never traveled internationally — what if it feels overwhelming?

You don’t have to figure it all out on your own! 

 

We guide you through the process step by step, from flights to arrival details, to what to pack and every other detail along the way. 

 

Our retreats are designed to be safe, supportive, and stress-free, so you can relax into the experience. 

 

You do enough of the planning! You don't have to worry about anything at the retreat. We take care of the details FOR you every step of the way. 

 

Many women who join us have never traveled internationally before — and they leave wondering why they waited so long.


What if I don’t know anyone?

You won’t feel like a stranger for long. Not only do we embody the meaning of the Greek word 'filotimo,' it is our deepest intention within our hearts to hold everyone in a safe, loving container.

 

Our retreats are intentionally kept small and intimate so that everyone feels seen, loved, and appreciated. 

 

We have our retreat Welcome Call before we even arrive in Greece, so that way you start to get to know each other before the retreat starts. We will also have a group chat thread so that our community connection continues after our Welcome Call!

 

By the end of the first circle, you’ll feel the power of our group — laughing, sharing meals, exploring and healing together. Many of our guests form lifelong friendships that continue long after the retreat ends.


Is this retreat only for women? Can men join?

Yes, men can absolutely join! We encourage it!

 

This retreat is a remembering and rising of unity consciousness in our society as a whole — and it is even more powerful when men join us, especially husbands or partners. When the duality within the relationship is honored, healed, and respected, both partners grow & rise together.


What if I feel like I’m “too much” or “not spiritual enough” for something like this?

You don’t have to be anyone other than who you already are! Come as you are 💓

 

This retreat isn’t about being “perfect” or fitting a mold — it’s about remembering your truth. Whether you’ve been on a spiritual journey for years or you’re just beginning, we meet you exactly where you are and invite you into deeper authenticity, joy, and freedom.


What if the investment feels like too much right now?

We honor your investment in yourself. We know that continuing to put yourself last costs more in the long run — in your health, your happiness, and your peace. 

 

This retreat is an investment in your freedom, your power, and your life. 

 

We offer payment plans, and flexible options to support you. 

 

Trust that if your soul feels the call, the resources will come to meet you.
