Greek Islands

Art Of Slow- Kea

On the quiet Greek island of Kea, nature sets the pace. Days unfold slowly. The body softens. Breath deepens…

The Art of Slow - Kea is a Nature & Wellness Pilates retreat hosted by Liberté Pilates, designed to gently guide you away from pace and pressure and back into rhythm, presence, and embodied ease. Rooted in mindful movement, restorative practices, and the natural cadence of island living, this experience invites you to slow down-  and truly arrive back into yourself.

This is not a schedule to keep up with, but a pace to surrender to.

The Experience

4th - 10th May 2026

Each day is shaped by movement, nature, and rest.

Morning and evening Pilates practices anchor the retreat - slow, intentional, and deeply restorative.

Time in between is left intentionally open for ocean swims, sun-warmed stillness, and quiet connection.

As part of the retreat experience, guests are invited to receive facial fascia release sessions with Sara Wells, founder of Kondōu - a restorative facial practice often described as Pilates for the face, supporting facial release, balance, and nervous-system regulation.

Nothing is rushed. Everything is considered.

Facial Fascia Release Sessions with Sara Wells

This restorative practice works with the fascia and muscles of the face, jaw, neck, and scalp - areas that quietly hold tension and emotion.

Often likened to Pilates for the face, facial fascia release supports:

– Muscular balance and facial release

– Lymphatic flow and circulation

– Deep relaxation and nervous-system down-regulation

Guests may choose to upgrade their session to a longer treatment for a more immersive experience at own cost, and will be given a spa menu to choose from.
