Artful Retreat  - Crete
Where Art Meets Wellbeing

Welcome to the Artful Retreat at Bleverde, a unique experience in the heart of Crete designed to nourish your body, mind, and spirit. Rooted in art therapy principles, this retreat invites you to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and express freely through art—no experience needed, just openness to the creative process.

Each day begins gently with morning yoga to awaken the body, followed by a wholesome, delicious breakfast shared with a small, supportive group of 5–8 participants. Our mornings are spent in the light-filled art studio, where intuitive art making becomes a powerful tool for reflection, emotional release, and self-discovery.

Throughout the week, you’ll experience a variety of carefully curated activities—all aimed at promoting emotional and physical wellbeing. You may wander through ancient olive groves to the picturesque village of Gavalochori, visit a local artist’s studio, take part in a sound healing session, or create art inspired by stories, memories, or the mood of the moment.

Lunch is served at the serene Bleverde estate, often enjoyed poolside, with nourishing dishes crafted to support your energy and wellness. Afternoons offer more space to create, reflect, or simply rest.

Evenings are for gentle group sharing and connection, followed by a lovingly prepared dinner either at the estate or a traditional taverna nearby.

 

Every detail is taken care of, allowing you to fully relax and immerse yourself in this transformative journey.

With luxury accommodation, thoughtful hospitality, and a peaceful natural setting, the Artful Retreat offers more than rest—it offers a return to yourself.

We begin at 15:00 on the first day and say goodbye with a closing circle at noon on the last.

Let go, express, and be cared for—this is your time.
