Open Your Heart in Stunning Santorini!

(Embrace Your Inner Greek Goddess)

October 2 – 8 2021

Would you like to be luxuriating on the beautiful island of Santorini on October 2nd? Can you imagine seven days completely devoted to joyful adventures, glorious self-care, breathing in nature’s bounty and indulging in all the delicacies of Greek culture and cuisine?

After all we’ve been through this past year, we’re thrilled we can take an expansive breath and travel to beautiful places like Greece again. If you’re like many women who join us, your daily life is filled with to-do lists, rushing from one thing to the next and generally putting everyone’s needs before your own. Sound familiar? Well, joining this retreat is your chance to refill your own energy tank and put the focus back on yourself. We’ve done all the planning so you get to sit back and enjoy!

Santorini is the perfect place to renew your mind, body and spirit! Envision copious amounts of “Me Time” coupled with wonderful day trips plus yoga and life enhancement classes. You’ll find yourself getting back in touch with your own rhythm and desires. Being able to let go of all responsibilities and be present to your own needs is a true gift. You won’t have to lift a finger.

Whether you come by yourself or with a companion, you’ll be welcomed in the warm embrace of our retreat sisterhood. It’s a super supportive and nourishing environment where like-minded women share, bond and delight in soulful journeys, cultural experiences, scrumptious food all while taking in the beauty of one of most breath-taking islands in the world!

I’m Jayme Barrett and I’m super passionate about helping women lead happier, healthier, more inspired lives through my best-selling book “Feng Shui Your Life,” consulting and coaching, as well as running blissful women’s retreats all over Europe since 2011!

A recent guest called our retreat “a light, beautiful, heart-felt adventure with mind-opening experiences… a truly life-changing event.” On this 10th year, we’re excited to return to the picturesque Greek island of Santorini with its turquoise waters, magnificent sunsets and ancient vertical cliffs. Along with its volcanic remains, you’ll be enamored by the whitewash walls and blue domes, known as Cycladic architecture, overlooking the Aegean Sea.

We’ll be staying in Oia, the most beautiful village in Santorini, located on the northern side of the island. Our charming hotel is an oasis of peace within walking distance from Oia’s fabulous shops and restaurants. With breath-taking vistas of the sparkling sea, you’ll enjoy warm Mediterranean hospitality, delicious food and wine, yoga and life enhancement classes as well as time to relax by the pool with like-minded women.

On our day trips, we’ll visit traditional Greek villages to shop and sightsee as well as enjoy meals in seaside towns. With our private guide, we’ll explore the Akrotiri Archaeological Site, a prehistoric Bronze Age city, frozen in time by ash that fell during the Minoan volcanic eruption 3600 years ago. We’ll go to a stunning winery for a tour and wine tasting of its distinct Santorini Vinsanto wine. Plus, as a special inclusion, we’ll indulge in a private sunset cruise on a yacht around the island with dinner and wine on board.

We have a limited amount of spaces available and it is first-come, first-served with a deposit. Ladies, if you are serious about joining, email us here as soon as possible to secure your space. I can’t wait to meet you! (Retreat details and pricing below.)

Weather The weather in Santorini in early October is variable. It could be warm or a bit windier/cooler but visiting at this time of year is the only way to visit Greece. With less tourists, it gives us the ability to move through towns more easily and joyfully. Also, we’ll have better unobstructed photo opportunities! Before you pack, check out the weather forecast for Santorini, Greece. Sometimes Santorini is referred to as “Thira.”

Travel and Flights to Greece

You will be responsible for booking your own travel and flights.

Retreat dates are Oct 2-8. 

We highly recommend you fly into Athens a day or two BEFORE the retreat starts on October 2nd. Then, you’ll fly from Athens to Santorini on October 2nd. If you’d like one full day to see Athens (so much history there!), participants from the U.S. will depart on Wednesday September 29th and arrive in Athens on Thursday, September 30th. You’ll stay two nights at an Athens hotel (not included in retreat fee) and have one full day on October 1st to sight-see. Then Saturday morning October 2nd, you’ll fly into Santorini and we’ll have a group pick-up at the Santorini airport at 12:00pm.

Alternately, you can fly from the US on 9/30 to arrive in Athens on 10/1. Stay one night in Athens and fly to Santorini the next morning 10/2.  The group pick-up at Santorini Airport is included in the retreat fee.

Getting Your Ticket

Step 1 – Buy international roundtrip flight to Athens (ATH). Make sure it is a FLEXIBLE and CHANGEABLE ticket.

Step 2 – Buy roundtrip flight from Athens (ATH) to Santorini (JTR). Put Oct 2 – 8 in search engine. I like www.skyscanner.com. Below are some flights that will get you into Santorini for the 12:00pm airport pick-up on Oct 2nd. When buying this short (45 minute) direct flight, make sure you get the fare that includes luggage and a seat. Also, a flexible ticket that allows changes. Book directly with the airlines.

• Sky Express #GQ344 10:30am – 11:25am
• Olympic – #OA354  10:10am – 10:55am (same as Aegean Airways #354)

End of Retreat – On October 8th, for your return trip from Santorini to Athens, there are many flights on Olympic and Sky Express available starting at 8:30am all throughout the day. So, depending on what time your flight back to the U.S. is, you can choose one of those times. Make sure you have at least three hours in between flights in case there is a delay getting off the island. If you want to be super safe, you can stay overnight in Athens and fly home on October 9th. The transfer from our hotel back to the Santorini airport is not included in the retreat fee but it can be easily arranged by the hotel. We wanted to give you options to go at any time you wish instead of a group transfer.

COVID NOTE: All foreign tourists can now visit Greece without the need for quarantine on arrival, provided they have a negative PCR test within 72 hours before travel and proof they’ve been fully vaccinated. You may want to book through a travel agent this year to make sure you know all protocols from your airport into Greece. We will stay updated on any new Greece protocols.

Medical Issues, Travel Insurance and Passport

An approved US vaccine is necessary for entrance into the EU. It is also required to be a participant of this retreat. (Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson). 

If you have any medical issues that will require professional care while on your trip, you must bring and be responsible for all necessary items and treatments related to your condition. It is strongly recommended that you obtain medical and dental insurance that will cover the cost of any medical or dental assistance you may require during your trip. Before travelling with Jayme Barrett, we strongly recommend you review your personal insurance and health insurance to ensure you have coverage appropriate to meet your needs, and the needs of your family and dependants, in case of any loss of property or illness, injury or death.

Insurance: The trip price does not include any insurance coverage, and Jayme Barrett requires the purchase of travel insurance to protect your trip investment in the event of medical emergencies, lost bags, a cancelled trip or any other unforeseen trip or pre-trip related event. It is strongly recommended that you obtain excellent medical and dental insurance that will cover the cost of any health assistance you may require during your trip. You can get travel insurance including medical through www.squaremouth.com, www.insuremytrip.com or call your travel agent. You need travel AND medical coverage. Review all plans carefully.

Many travel insurance companies are not covering travelers if they decide not to travel because of Coronavirus risks. This is because Coronavirus is now considered a “known risk”, and travel insurance never covers “fear” as a reason to cancel a trip last minute. If you are worried about trip cancellation coverage because of the Coronavirus situation, we recommend purchasing or upgrading your current plan to a “cancel for any reason” travel insurance plan. These plans are typically more expensive, but will give you the most likelihood of coverage should any event prevent you from traveling with us. It is your responsibility to confirm your travel insurance coverage.

Passport: Make sure your passport is up-to-date and it should be valid through May 2022. If you need to renew it, do it soon as it’s taking longer these days.

———————————————————————————————————————-

Cancellation Policies: • Your deposit is non-refundable. Full payment is required within 70 days of departure. Cancellation from 70 days prior to 60 days prior: cancellation fee is 50% of total trip cost per person. The trip is nonrefundable inside of 60 days. If a replacement is secured, travelers will get a refund less $250.00. • If you wish to cancel the trip outside of 60 days, a written cancellation request is necessary. No refund for unused portions of the retreat, including but not limited to, missed meals, hotel nights and sightseeing. You may also transfer your retreat payment towards a 2022 retreat.

Cancellation by Jayme Barrett: Jayme Barrett reserves the right to cancel the trip at any time for any reason, including if there are too few participants, or if the quality of the trip or the safety of travelers is judged by Jayme Barrett in her sole discretion to be compromised. In such cases, a refund of payments received by Jayme Barrett shall constitute full and final settlement. Jayme Barrett is not responsible for any loss incurred on account of non-refundable or non-transferable air tickets. Buy flexible tickets that are changeable to avoid this issue.

• Travel insurance is required.
• A US approved Vaccine (Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson) is required.

———————————————————————————————————————-

COVID TRAVEL UPDATE Please note that by August 15th, we will evaluate the travel situation for Greece and if we believe our retreat may be at risk for official reasons or any other, we will issue a refund for the balance. A credit for the deposit will be issued to be used for a postponement date or a 2022 retreat. If the retreat happens as scheduled but a guest decides not to attend based on any other reason than a country’s border closure, then the regular cancellation policy (stated above) will be maintained.
