Olympian Awakening

Olympian Awakening is a soulful journey designed to awaken your inner potential and aliveness through the mythical, historical, and natural beauty of Greece. This is not Greece as a tourist destination. This is Greece as a place of profound inner change.

We move with the ancient concept of aretē, the pursuit of holistic human excellence: the balance of body, mind, and will. On the cliffs of Amorgos, one of the oldest and most unspoiled islands of the Cyclades, the ancient still breathes through the stone. The true pilgrimage is not only to Greece. It is into the innermost heart of your being, alongside the Rasika community.

Olympian Awakening

Greece Retreat

"Know thyself." — Inscription at the Temple of Apollo, Delphi

"Wonder is the beginning of wisdom." — Socrates

"Excellence is never an accident. It is the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution." — Aristotle

The Intention:

This retreat is for those who feel the pull toward:

  • The pursuit of aretē: embodied excellence in body, mind, and will.

  • An awakening of inner potential through living myth, sacred stone, and elemental beauty.

  • A deeper relationship with Greece, beyond sightseeing, into the heart of things.

  • The courage to walk not just along the cliffs of Amorgos, but into the innermost truth of your being.

Sample Daily Rhythm:

Each day flows gently between practice, presence, and the island itself:

Morning  — Sunrise pranayama, meditation, and an unhurried asana practice overlooking the Aegean.

Midday  — Teachings, satsang, and contemplation with Padma. Time to absorb, journal, or simply be.

Afternoon  — A walk to a hidden cove, a visit to a centuries-old chapel, time at the spa, or rest in the shade.

Evening  — Shared meal of seasonal Greek fare, restorative practice, and quiet integration as the light softens.

.

What Awaits You

  • A Superior room with private balcony and sea view, your sanctuary for all 7 nights.

  • Daily yoga, pranayama, meditation, and teachings with Padma.

  • The clarity of the Aegean: sea, sun, stone, and sky as teachers.

  • Two daily meals — breakfast buffet plus your choice of lunch or dinner, with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.

  • Full use of the Lalon Idor Spa: sauna, hammam, jacuzzi, indoor seawater pool, and fitness center.

  • A 30-minute relaxing massage, plus 10% off all face and body treatments.

  • Local transfers on Amorgos (port – hotel – port).

  • Teachings to anchor the journey as inner pilgrimage and outer beauty become one.

  • Space to listen deeply to your heart and to remember.

Journey home to your Olympian Nature.

Meet your guide

Padma Shakti

With years of guiding sacred journeys, from the temples of South India to the Sacred Valley of Peru, Padma will hold space for this pilgrimage as both outer travel and inner return.

Padma Shakti is Founder and Director of Rasa Yoga School of Yoga and Ayurveda, Bay Area Yoga Collective and Quantum Edge Coaching.

She holds a firm commitment that Yoga and Ayurveda are on the cutting edge for success and leadership development. Through her ability to effectively assimilate and disseminate the teachings of Yoga and Ayurveda she enables people to craft a life beyond just getting by, to live a full life - thriving and healthy - toward the absolute highest quality possible.

Padma Shakti is committed to the power of community and seeks to demonstrate that through functional relationships, you strengthen and empower not only yourself, but the whole of humanity.

Her ability and clarity to empower others is made possible by her study, training and love of these great beings: Dr. David Hoch, Lex Gillian, Reverend Karen Tudor, Sandra Summerfield-Kozak of International Yoga Studies, Rodney Yee, Shiva Rea, Dr. David Frawley, Dr. Stephen Phillips, Swami Atma, Master Jason Campbell and Yogarupa Rod Stryker.

There are many other masters and teachers to pay homage to as well, whether by lineage living now or before.

Padma's current studies and training are influenced primarily by Pandit Rajmani Tigunait.
