Travel that transforms you, right down to your DNA.

Set within the elemental landscapes of the Peloponnese, Awaken is the first retreat of its kind—uniting the science of how your lifestyle shapes your genes with intentional practices in movement, breathwork, meditation, nutrition, and nature.

Over eight days, you’ll explore how your body’s biological age—revealed through advanced epigenetic testing—reflects its current vitality and how to gently influence it. Guided by your personalized THRIVE Plan, this immersive retreat experience helps you reconnect with natural rhythms, rebalance energy systems, and rediscover what it feels like to be deeply alive.

Awaken meets you where you are and helps you evolve forward.

Awaken is for the biologically curious: individuals, couples, companions, friends, sisters, cousins who want to understand how their bodies are aging and how to influence that story from within.

You’re drawn to the cutting edge of health science and inspired by the idea that your biology is not fixed but responsive and ready to evolve with you.

  • Engage in restorative practices that reconnect you to nature, stillness, and vitality

The Setting

A Journey Through the Peloponnese

The Peloponnese offers an ever-changing canvas for renewal—mountain sanctuaries, Aegean coves and sea caves, olive-draped hillsides, and the walkable elegance of Nafplio. Here, environment, rhythm, and biology converge to awaken your most resilient self.

Your journey unfolds across three unique regions: 

Arcadia — mountain serenity and forested trails
Oitylo — sea views above the Aegean
Nafplio — coastal charm in Greece’s most romantic town

You’ll stay in boutique lodging in each location over seven nights, with private group transportation throughout. Each day brings a blend of immersive cultural experiences, curated excursions, and nourishing seasonal cuisine rooted in the diverse culinary traditions of the Peloponnese.
