“Life presents us with repeated opportunities to face what we fear, what we need to become conscious of, or what we need to master. The path of becoming is not linear, and it’s never ending. It doesn’t have a goal nor a destiny. Let’s embrace continuous transformation. To die (symbolically) and be rebirth again, and again, and again."
Jean Shinoda Bolen - "Goddesses in Everywoman"
HELLO, I'M
maria
I am your guide on this heartwarming journey. My life has been a tapestry of cultural experiences, drawing from my Greek heritage and time spent in Latin America and the United States.
As an author, speaker, artist, licensed therapist, and specialist in Authentic Movement, Nutritional Therapy, and Healing Arts, I've dedicated my career to empowering women in their journey of self-discovery and holistic healing.
In our Feminine Wholeness Retreat, I will share not only my personal story of overcoming low self-esteem, body image issues, depression, and bulimia but also the professional knowledge, tools, and healing practices that have been instrumental in my transformation. My journey, enriched by diverse cultural insights and therapeutic expertise, is a testament to the power of self-love, acceptance, and the transformative strength of embracing one's true self.
If I could emerge stronger, more in love with myself, and in harmony with my feminine essence, so can you! This retreat is your invitation to embark on a path of profound transformation. Join me in discovering and celebrating your true self, supported every step of the way by my expertise, compassionate guidance, and the collective strength of our sisterhood.
Now is the time for your own transformation!
Why is this Retreat for me?
Are you yearning to fully embrace your feminine identity, free from self-doubt and societal pressures, and find soul freedom?
Do you feel disconnected from your feminine essence amid life's pace and expectations, seeking a deeper holistic connection?
Are you looking to reconnect with your body, intuition, and inner wisdom, embracing all aspects of your being?
Do you desire kinship with women who share your journey toward authentic self-expression, empowerment, and soulful discovery?
Paros Island, Greece
Rejuvenate in the Mediterranean
Imagine awakening your soul amidst the enchanting beauty of Paros, a gem in the Cyclades of Greece, where the azure Mediterranean Sea meets the golden Greek summer light.
This iconic island, which hosted our unique retreat last year, has been intentionally chosen again for its rejuvenating blend of warm sea waters and inspiring summer light, perfect for embracing and embodying the whole essence of your femininity.
Paros, nestled in the Aegean Sea, is renowned for its stunning beaches and Ms. Maria's traditional pastry. It harmoniously blends modernity with tradition, featuring traditional Cycladic architecture, vibrant nightlife, magical beaches, enchanting rural villages, and historical monuments. It is not just a location but a journey into the soul.
Our sanctuary, The Okreblue Seaside Yoga Retreat Center, mirrors the island's spirit and has proven to be a perfect setting for our retreats. In this place, the natural beauty of Greece meets the depth of introspective practice. Created with love for like-minded individuals to gather, practice, and share, my personal experience and the positive feedback from last year's participants affirm that Okreblue embodies authentic Greek hospitality – a home away from home.

Retreat Experience
Fall in Love with Your Self
Hear from our participants:
I have been on this journey with myself for many years. I value self-awareness and my personal growth. The combination of being on an island, in nature, working on ourselves–in the spirit of vacation with others who share a similar temperament- it is something I truly enjoyed!
Eleni
It’s been so beautiful to be surrounded by Greeks and feel the energy, hear the language, listen to the songs, laugh, taste the food, and swim in the Mediterranean Sea. It’s been such a gift!
There is healing when women get together, I think it allows our story not to feel so isolated and the intimacy that was created here was authentic, it was real, it was beautiful!
Desiree
This retreat suits a woman who wants to connect with other women. What I liked were the participants in the group. I liked that we were from different ages and how giving and open they were in sharing deep things with the group. Ultimately, through the stories of others, you learn things about yourself.
Kalliopi
This work overall was wonderful! I received stimuli from everyone to work on myself. I felt genuinely proud as a woman, as a Greek, as a mother, as a daughter, all parts of me!
Thodora
I liked how our day began. Each day of the retreat was well-organized to help us relax and delve into ourselves. Start the day with a swim in the sea, yoga to relax our bodies, and then the healing work. I believe this structure helped us relax and be ourselves within the group and in general. Every day, I saw the glow on the faces of all the women in the group!
Ludmila
I had a great desire to participate in this retreat, especially with the theme related to feminine energy. This topic interests me a lot, and it's relevant now, at the age of 70, as my femininity is going through a crisis.
I loved that we were all women and we all shared our experiences. Through them, I sympathized with and loved women; through them, I sympathized with and loved myself. It was an exceptional and beautiful experience. I certainly saw myself as more beautiful, with tenderness, with sweetness.
Afroditi
For me, the primary motivation was to come to another island, however the whole week exceeded my expectations; I didn't realize how the days passed!
Natalia
As a predominantly cerebral person, that is my main characteristic, art has a way of distracting me from the mind and thoughts, which is beneficial. It allows me to deceive my mind spontaneously and express my truth painlessly. Ultimately, it works in my favor, comforting me and allowing change to happen within.

Half-Day Excursion
As an integral part of our retreat, we have planned a memorable one-day excursion to immerse ourselves further in the rich Greek culture and history. Midway through our journey, we’ll explore one of the nearby Greek islands – Delos, Mykonos, or Antiparos – each offering a unique and enriching experience.
On Delos, you’ll step into a world steeped in ancient mythology. As the mythical birthplace of Artemis and Apollo, it’s home to remarkable archaeological sites and a museum boasting an impressive collection of Greek sculptures, providing a tangible connection to the archetypes we explore.
In contrast, Mykonos captivates with its vibrant Cycladic architecture. Wander through streets lined with whitewashed houses and blue-domed churches, and enjoy a delightful lunch featuring local Aegean specialties in this lively island setting.
Alternatively, the serene Antiparos offers a peaceful retreat with its unspoiled landscapes and tranquil beaches, allowing for contemplation and relaxation.
This excursion is thoughtfully curated to complement our retreat’s theme, enriching your understanding and experience of Greek heritage and the archetypes we embrace. Get ready for a day of discovery, connection, and unforgettable memories.
