The Grace Within Retreat
This retreat is an invitation to reconnect with yourself and rediscover the grace within.
“The Grace Within Retreat” offers a thoughtfully designed program that integrates yoga, meditation, and deep relaxation practices to guide you toward profound inner peace and presence.
Our home for the week, Milelja Retreat Center is a peaceful haven where natural stone buildings, lush gardens, and breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea creating the perfect location for revitalize. Is located on the Greek Island of Lesvos in the eastern Aegean, a ten minutes walk to the sea and the small town of Mithymna. With its calming atmosphere and intimate setting, the Milelja Retreat Center has been hosting retreats for decades, creating a space where participants can fully embrace silence, natural beauty and relaxation.
At the center of Milelja Retreat Center is a rejuvenating water landscape featuring a hot tub and a refreshing, chlorine-free pool. During the construction of the retreat center, warm, soft spring water was discovered deep beneath the surface. Although the water cools as it flows into the pool, it retains the remarkable properties of thermal water.
A German analysis highlights the water's exceptional qualities, particularly its ability to nourish the skin and strengthen the bones. This special spring water elevates your experience, offering both relaxation and a deeper connection to the healing energy of nature.
Every day starts with Morning Yoga practice, thoughtfully integrating asana(postures), pranayama(breathing techniques), meditation, and chanting to energize, ground, and center your being. Afternoons are dedicated to rest and renewal, with opportunities to relax by the retreat center’s inviting pool healing waters, or indulge in an optional massage treatment by Anna Liamo. Dive deeper into your practice with transformative workshops, and let your evenings unfold with gentle Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and soothing sound baths designed to nourish your soul.

About Molyvos:
Molyvos or Mithymna in the old Greek, is a very charming small town.
It is architecturally protected due to its historical importance as an ancient seaport, dating from before the fall of Troy.
Molyvos is situated on a conical shaped hill crowned by a magnificent medieval castle. A walk through the agora (market), roofed by flower arcades down to the picturesque port, is an expedition through the eventful history of the island.
But Molyvos is not only about the past. Today, one can enjoy tourism at its best . Since the sixties it has been a favorite location for romantics, writers and artists.
