    To reserve your place

    My Blue Zones retreats are very intimate, and I only take 8 guests at a time. This ensures that every guest receives close attention and gets the very best out of their Ikarian experience. The retreats tend to sell out quickly, so if you are interested in reserving your place, please contact me and I will send you detailed information.
