awaken the goddess within

YOGA + COASTAL E-BIKE TOUR + FIESTA NIGHT + GUIDED WALKING TOUR + ISLAND BOAT ADVENTURE

Join us on the enchanting Greek island of Kea for six unforgettable days of yoga, connection, and Mediterranean beauty. Just a 45-minute ferry ride from Athens, our private sanctuary, Villa Naos, provides the perfect setting to slow down, reconnect, and embrace the wisdom of the feminine.

Throughout our week together, we'll explore the energy and archetypes of the Greek goddesses, discovering how their strength, grace, intuition, and courage live within each of us. From a guided coastal e-bike adventure and lively Greek feast night filled with dancing and connection to a coastal cruise along the sparkling Aegean, every experience has been thoughtfully designed to awaken joy and wonder.

We'll wander the charming streets of Ioulida, visit the ancient ruins, swim in crystal-clear waters, and enjoy plenty of space to rest, reflect, and simply be.

Your inner goddess has always been there. This is your invitation to soften, listen, trust, and let her shine.

If the turquoise waters of the Aegean, the charm of island life, and the opportunity to reconnect with the wisdom, strength, and beauty within are calling to you, trust the invitation.

We can't wait to welcome you to Kea, share in this unforgettable adventure, and create memories, friendships, and moments of magic that will stay with you long after we've returned home.

Awaken the goddess within. We'll meet you in Greece.

View Pricing + Accommodations

OUR VILLA

A private sanctuary on the island of Kea.

A horizon line. A calm sea. A home carved into the cliffs of Kea, one hour from Athens. Villa Nāos is a private sea view estate with an 18 meter infinity pool, a 100 sqm wellness shala and a dedicated-on site team. It is a place where time slows and life begins again.

The name Nāos means temple in ancient Greek.
Not a grand monument, but the inner room where everything essential is kept. Four houses, nine suites, one sanctuary.

You belong here

Because there is a part of you that is ready to stop second-guessing, soften into trust, and reconnect with the woman you've always been.

Because a retreat is so much more than a vacation. It's an opportunity to step away from your everyday roles and responsibilities and create space to listen to your own inner voice again.

You are craving a deeper connection with yourself and a community of kindhearted women who value growth, wellness, adventure, and authentic connection.

The idea of exploring the Greek islands, swimming in the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea, wandering charming villages, and embracing a slower Mediterranean rhythm lights you up.

You are drawn to the wisdom of the Greek goddesses and curious to explore the strength, intuition, courage, joy, and radiance that already live within you.

Because you deserve days filled with movement, sunshine, laughter, meaningful conversation, and experiences that remind you how alive you are.

You long for moments of both adventure and rest... coastal bike rides, sunset cruises, ancient ruins, morning yoga, heartfelt connection, and quiet space to simply be.

You've always dreamed of visiting Greece, or perhaps you've felt called to return and experience its beauty in a more intentional and meaningful way.

Because in a world that often asks women to do more, give more, and be more, this retreat is an invitation to remember that you are already enough.

To trust yourself. To embrace your feminine energy. To awaken the goddess within.

And plain and simple...you deserve this.

A SPACE TO UNWIND, GATHER + CONNECT.

Nestled above the sparkling Aegean Sea, Villa Naos will be our private sanctuary for the week. With just nine peaceful suites, breathtaking coastal views, and thoughtfully designed gathering spaces, it offers the perfect setting to slow down, connect, and fully immerse yourself in the magic of island life.

Your retreat begins the moment you arrive in Athens. We'll coordinate your group transfer and ferry crossing to Kea, allowing you to relax and soak in the beauty of the Aegean during the short 45-minute journey to the island. With the logistics handled for you, stepping into the ease and rhythm of Greek island life comes naturally.

Whether you're sipping coffee on a sun-drenched terrace, sharing stories under the stars, practicing yoga with the sea in view, or finding a quiet corner to reflect, Villa Naos invites you to feel at ease, feel inspired, and feel completely at home.

This is a space for meaningful connection, joyful adventure, deep rest, and awakening the goddess within.

hear from past clients

Donna plans the most fabulous retreats. I just returned from a transformative Portugal retreat in Olhão at Casa Fuzetta. The itinerary was well structured, yet relaxed. The food was spectacularly delicious and nourishing. The excursions were well planned and lots of fun. The yoga classes were just right, moderately challenging morning classes and relaxing evening classes. I love every single woman in the group of 20 we had, even though I walked into this retreat knowing less than half of them. I will definitely be back for another retreat and cannot recommend Dragonfly retreats highly enough.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Questions

DO I NEED TRAVEL/MEDICAL
INSURANCE?

Dragonfly Yoga Retreats cannot emphasize more the importance of travel insurance. As we all know, especially as travelers, “life happens.” Whether it’s family, work, mother nature, or a change of heart, it is important to be prepared in case you need to unexpectedly change your travel plans. Often for less than $150, you can purchase a travel insurance policy and be protected in the event that you need to make a change or need to be covered financially prior to or during your trip. Travel and medical insurance are both highly recommended. Most health insurance companies will not cover out of country expenses.

Check out our Terms and Conditions page for some insurance options.

ANY THOUGHTS ON JOINING A RETREAT BY MYSELF IF I'VE NEVER DONE IT BEFORE?

I went on my first ever retreat knowing no one except for the retreat leader and had the most incredible experience. I loved having the space to meet new people and also spend quality time with myself in whatever way felt nourishing moment to moment. I was placed in a shared room with another woman who started as a kind stranger and quickly became a close friend by the end of the retreat. If you’re feeling called, I can’t recommend a solo experience enough!

Since I started leading retreats in 2021, the number of women who have made new best friends is countless and so beautiful to see.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR/PACK?

HOW DO I BOOK A MASSAGE?

Donna will share details of how to book spa services in the weeks leading up to our retreat if they are available.

HOW DO I GET AROUND IF I WANT TO EXPLORE?

If you wish to explore in your free time, villa staff can assist with booking transportation at an additional cost.

WILL THERE BE FREE TIME?

Absolutely. While we’ll gather daily for our practices each day, the remaining time is yours to enjoy however you feel called. Rest by the pool, curl up with a book, explore the area, receive bodywork, or simply be. There is always freedom to participate or not in the included retreat activities. We'd love for you to participate in all planned experiences.

DO I HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN SCHEDULED ACTIVITIES?

All practices and activities during the retreat are completely optional. While we lovingly encourage joining the daily movement sessions to experience the full arc of the retreat, this time is ultimately about honoring your own rhythm. Rest, participate, pause, or opt out as needed—this experience is designed to support your return to yourself in whatever way feels most nourishing.

Think effortless Mediterranean style. May in Greece offers warm, sun-drenched days and pleasant evenings, making it easy to pack light. Flowing dresses, lightweight layers, swimwear, comfortable sandals, and activewear for yoga will serve you well throughout the week.

Bring a light sweater or wrap for evenings by the sea, along with a sun hat, sunglasses, and comfortable shoes for exploring charming villages and coastal paths.

A detailed packing guide will be shared with retreat guests 3-4 weeks before our journey begins.

E-RYT200 | YACEP | REIKI MASTER | ASTROLOGER

Founder + Owner Dragonfly Yoga Retreats & The Yoga Loft

Hi, I’m Donna—yoga teacher, retreat curator + guide, studio owner, and a lifelong student.

My yoga journey began two decades ago as a personal inward exploration—one that gently reshaped how I live, lead, and listen. That path eventually guided me to teaching and to opening a yoga studio, with the intention of creating spaces where others could experience the same sense of connection, clarity, and coming home to themselves.

With over 2,000 hours of teaching and retreat experience, I guide Vinyasa, Restorative/Yin, and Meditation practices that are accessible, grounding, and deeply supportive. My greatest joy lies in bringing women together—creating environments where friendship unfolds naturally, laughter is welcome, and authenticity is celebrated.

In a world that often asks us to move faster and do more, I believe yoga and mindfulness offer a powerful invitation to pause, pay attention, and return to the present moment—the only place life truly happens. Throughout our time together, reflective journaling and intentional workshops are gently woven in, offering space to gain clarity, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and align with what you’re ready to create next.

In addition to hosting retreats both in the U.S. and internationally, I own a yoga studio in Wisconsin, am a Reiki Master and trained Astrologer, and lead private and corporate wellness experiences. Community—building it, nurturing it, and staying connected to it—is at the heart of everything I do.

Curating this retreat is a true labor of love. These experiences are immersive, transformative, and meaningful in the most beautiful ways—and being part of your journey is an absolute gift to me.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out at dragonflyretreatsgb@gmail.com.

I can’t wait to share this experience with you.

With love, kindness, and gratitude,

Donna
