  • NISYROS ISLAND

    21-25/06/2024

    A Qigong and Meditation Retreat to Connect with Gaia’s Heartbeat

have access to the earth’s soul pulse!

According to Greek mythology, during a time of upheaval, when the Olympian Gods were chasing the Giants, Poseidon detached a part of the island of Kos and threw it on the giant Polyvotis. Nisyros was born! Though the giant disappeared for ever in the bottom of the sea, it’s said that he was expressing his rage through the volcano. His name has been given to the largest crater.

Nowadays, peaceful and spectacular, this island is a perfect destination for a Qigong and Meditation retreat in these times of huge changes.

During 5 days, we’ll deepen our connection with the heart of Gaia and vibrate to the rhythm of the Earth’s soul pulse to tune into the birth of a new harmonious world!

The program

The program of a full day includes:
  • One-hour qigong practice on the beach before breakfast

  • Two hours teachings and transformational practices during the day

  • One-and-a-half-hour meditation and visualization in the evening

  • Excursions to different interesting parts of the island with rented cars

  • Time to share, to rest, to swim and to celebrate

Transportation

Transportation to Nisyros is not included.

I recommend that we travel by plane to the island of Kos, to take the boat from Kardamena (Kos) to Nisyros.

Testimonials


  • LILIAN DRESCHER

    A big thank you to Geneviève for a beautiful Qigong retreat on an island with a unique energy, Nisyros. There were many strong moments which filled my heart and soul, e.g. the meditation inside the volcano Stefanos, the Qigong at the Prophet Elias church or the meditation in the evening on the beach in connection with the Little Bear. The group dynamic added a powerful dimension to some of the spiritual exercises we did. And of course, we laughed and had a great time during meals at different lovely taverns. Geneviève organized a beautiful, very successful retreat with her heart and soul.
    We thank you so much!

  • THANASIS TSOPANAKIS

    One of my best decisions this year was to participate in the “healing trip” of members of Genevieve groups to Nisyros in June, even though I was a very new member of the Chi Gong group.
    24 wonderful people with a brilliant teacher, on an unspoiled Greek island, for 5 days with a spiritual goal! Meditations and healing exercises, at the volcano, on the beach, at the solstice, under the full moon.
    Learning, giving and receiving love, meeting wonderful people, sharing joy and beautiful meals.
    Looking forward to the next retreat!

  • NATALIA KATZAFEIRI

    Nisyros retreat 2024!
    An unforgettable experience! A meditative journey of five days from the core of the earth inside the crater of a volcano to the stars and constellations of the cosmos! A deep dive into the core of our being and our emotions!
    My dear Genevieve, thank you very much for these unforgettable experiences you offer us through the retreats and also for the love you offer us through them!

  • MATINA SKOURTI

    Nisyros is a magical island, with landscapes that give you the feeling that you are on another planet! Each location we visited for Qigong or meditation made the experience unique, very different from what I experience all year.
    Qigong at Prophet Elias’ chapel was like being on top of this world. It was very easy to connect with the unseen, with the universe and the part of them that exists within me!
    The meditation in the crater of the volcano with the smoke rising from the Earth, the strange and disturbing smells, Gaia alive under our feet was unique!
    Just two of the many powerful experiences!
    This is the third Genevieve’s Retreat I’ve attended! Experiences are different. Genevieve generously offers love, light, understanding and kindness, guiding us on new paths! But what I feel every time is the connection with the group in love and light! I feel like we are one big family! I thank our enlightened teacher for the invisible worlds she reveals to us!

  • ANGIE KTENA

    A perfectly organized trip, especially considering it was a far and not-so-easy-to-get-to island.
    -Very pleasant balance between classes/exercises and free time.
    -A variety of exercises adapted to the specificities of the group and the geo-universal conditions. E.g.volcano crater, full moon, etc.
    -Genevieve is accessible, flexible, honest and eager to help.

  • ARTEMIS MATIAS

    A unique experience. We listened to the breath of the volcano and the breath of the earth. We felt the essence of the stars and immersed ourselves in deep meditation. Amidst all this, the practice of qi gong gave us the strength to move forward towards a life full of love. We thank Geneviève with all our hearts.

  • LILLY PAPADIMITROPOULOU

    Nisyros. An island with a strong energy of Earth and Fire. All around us is stone, salt water and air. And we found ourselves closer to the heart of mother Earth. We felt her embrace and her pulse. Under the guidance of our beloved Genevieve, 24 people joined Earth and Heaven. There, within this luminous cylinder we all formed together, we each made a journey of our own.
    We shared images and feelings with trust and selflessness and moved forward with the conviction that pain is transitory as the Soul evolves.
    Every moment we experience even a fragment of Bliss is a great treasure, thank you dear Genevieve for showing us this beautiful path!

  • LILA SOTIRIOU

    There in Nisyros, with the Little Dipper touching us in meditation, and the volcanic crater vibrating the beats of our heart, but also the heart of the Earth. We breathed, we laughed, we cried. There, with Genevieve as our enlightened guide, we experienced the small and big moments of life. We merged in the triangles of love, we gazed at each other in the pause, we touched our hearts and opened to the horizon.
    We thank again our teacher, and look forward to our next QiGong and Meditation workshop.
    Until then, love
