"To have the stars above, the land to your left and the sea to your right,
to realise in a sudden, that in your heart,
life has accomplished it's final miracle... it has become a fairy tale."
- Nikos Kazantzakis
Take a Journey...
WRITING combined with guided MOVEMENT and MEDITATION is one of the most powerful tools of self-discovery, healing, and transformation.
WRITING helps you to objectively explore the inner landscape of all aspects of your 'Self' through understanding Archetypes and Myths; symbolic mirrors of life and the universal patterns of human nature.
Through MOVEMENT and MEDITATION you open the treasures of your subconscious mind, awakening your intuition and igniting the true source of your power and creativity.
MOVEMENT and MEDITATION is an opportunity to fully embody the 'Soul Within' so you can live and create from a state of beauty, flow and grace.
Gather in the circle of like-minded women and enter a sacred space of support and compassion for one another. This supportive environment allows you to be vulnerable, connect to your feelings, and share your insights openly.
Join writer and mentor, Marianna and take a magical guided journey that uses WRITING, MOVEMENT, and MEDITATION as a way of tapping into your greatest inner resources. Basque in the beauty of a Greek Island native to Marianna's family as she passionately shares with you her love for the history, culture, and mysteries of Greece.

ABOUT CORFU
Corfu is known as the Venetian jewel of the Ionian and is full of picturesque villages, Venetian architecture, impressive traditional buildings, olive groves, lush vegetation and beautiful beaches.
Sunsets, sandy beaches and clear seas have made this Ionian island a favourite. Here you’ll discover what makes Corfu truly magical: the scent of pressed olives, monasteries draped in bougainvillea, and fortresses that rise above bluer-than-blue seas.
In addition to its picturesque setting, relaxed way of life and delectable food, the Greek island of Corfu is also steeped in cultural history. The origins of Corfu can be traced back as far as Greek Mythology. The island’s Greek name, Kerkyra is related to two powerful water symbols: Poseidon, God of the sea, and Asopos, a prominent Greek river.
With its rich, mountainous landscape, Corfu offers a beautiful view to its visitors. Dominated by mountains, the island has a never ending expanse of rolling hills and blossoming trees, bursting with lush vegetation. Coastal areas offer tranquil white sandy beaches, while the shimmering blue sea provides a perfect backdrop to the green countryside.
Serenity Surrounds You
The bedrooms each with their own private garden space and breathtaking views are set centrally within a courtyard.
A professional kitchen, large dining and seating areas and a dedicated team of staff, turn the Courti Estate into a state of the art venue and perfect for a Travel Within Retreat.
Extensive fertile land and organic gardens are integral to the retreat experience.Using seasonal organic produce from the farm, our cook creates a menu specific to your needs and requirements.
And of course there is the olive oil! Top grade, organic, cold pressed olive oil from the trees, exclusive to The Courti Estate.
Relax by the infinity pool nestled beautifully amongst the olive groves or take a 5 minute walk to the nearest beach for a morning dip. Everything about this location gives you a platform to immerse yourself on this journey towards personal growth, healing and transformation.
