THE UNLEASHED RETREAT
The UNLEASHED retreat started in July 2024 with a group of 10 women from all over the world. We were 12 women including my co-host from 10 different countries! How awesome is that?!?
If you come to this retreat…
You will leave feeling nourished, inspired and rejuvenated and you will be able to uplevel your day-to-day life quality by embodying new ways of caring for yourself that you will learn at the retreat, that are the next-level approach to feminine self-care.
I’d love to invite you...

About the villa…
It is a six bedroom villa with a 4000 m2 garden facing east and is 400 m from the sandy beach of Pori Bay. It accommodates up to 12 people.
The villa's close proximity to the beach and the charming natural surroundings make the outdoor lounge area ideal for spending mornings doing sun gazing and slowly waking up while having afternoons and evenings chilling quietly or with friends. The raw nature coupled with summer breeze invites the guests to savor every moment and enjoy the magnificent view of the beach and the sea caves of Xylobatis.
The garden has a special outdoor massage booth and yoga shala for group practices. All the participants will get special hammam towels as a gift for the beach or for our practices.
About the island…
A bit more about the Koufonisia islands and how to get there
Koufonisia includes 3 small islands (Upper and Lower Koufonisi and Keros, an ancient archaeological site which is non-inhabited).
Koufonisia islands have white sand and amazing turquoise waters and they are often described like Carribean of Greece. This is the Cyclades as they were 50 years ago.
Easy to get to with High Speed ferry from Piraeus (port of Athens) to Koufonisi (4,5 hrs trip) or flying to Mykonos or Santorini and then the Sea-Jet boat to Koufonisia (1,30 hrs trip) or flying from Athens to Naxos and then taking a big boat or a small private boat to cross over.

What my Co-Host says about UNLEASHED
“The Unleashed retreat experience is for the woman who is ready to step out of all the other roles in her life, partner, sister, friend, daughter, mother, business woman…and come back into connection with herself.
It is a unique experience that creates an opportunity to come back into alignment and awareness of self, while simultaneously connecting with a small group of interesting women from all over the world, adventuring together into relaxation, presence and vibrancy.
My favorite aspect of this beautiful journey is witnessing each woman step away from and set down the various stresses and obligations that she carries, relax into spaciousness to think, to feel, to be present with herself, and then come awake to honoring herself through play, through pleasure and through connection with like minded and like hearted women.
Against the stunning backdrop of the cyclades islands of Greece, on the low key island oasis that is Koufounisia, swimming in the turquoise waters of the Aegean and soaking up the starlight of an uncluttered sky - you will be able to hear your own needs and desires more clearly.
Come home to yourself in a must see location with a not-to-be missed experience.
I personally love having the time and space to connect more deeply to myself and come awake to and tune into the wisdom within me. Unleashed creates an exquisite opportunity for this.”
“In July, I took a leap and joined a retreat with women I barely knew, after seeing Ana Kosta's Facebook post about it. At first, I hesitated (you know, classic overthinker here 🤧), but I kept seeing the retreat pop up in my feed. A few DMs and a 20-minute chat with Ana later, I took a few days to decide. No pressure from her, just a loving reminder that she was a full yes to me coming if I wanted to.
What really struck me during those 5 days was the freedom to shape my own experience. Ana Kosta and Jaime Lee Colyer brought an energy that was so fresh—so much care and intention went into the retreat 💛. I could feel how much they wanted me there, and they honored my choices..... every activity was an invitation, not an obligation 🙌. Whether I wanted to dive into every group session or just nap at the villa, I was fully supported.
In the end, I showed up for almost every activity (FOMO is real! 😂), but the biggest gift was realizing I had full control over my experience. After a year of leading a team that tripled in size and a business that grew 260%, plus starting an Executive Program at Stanford University with weekly assignments (hello, no chill 🤪), I was running on empty. Despite all the external recognition, I felt so disconnected from myself and I didn't know how to fix it.
This retreat gave me the space to pause, breathe, and just be. It reminded me that even in the chaos of life—leading a growing team, learning to care for an ageing mother, and taking care of myself—I still get to choose how I show up. Sometimes that means calling myself forward, but other times, it’s 100% about letting go and giving myself a break 🙇♀️.
Are you coming???
Here’s another amazing post-retreat reflection that was dropped on my socials:
If you’re thinking about a retreat about soul care and honoring your desires, I can’t recommend it enough. Next year’s retreat in Greece might be just what you need. The women who attended were all leaders, running businesses and teams, and like me, they needed space to just be 🧘♀️.
P.S. Ana didn’t ask me to share this—I’m just happy I trusted my gut! 🙏
P.P.S. Funny story, the retreat was fully booked at first, but two spots opened up and Ana does her best to keep the price point as accessible as possible for 5 days on a Greek island 🏝. The universe had my back for sure on this one! 🌟
