Join somatic movement educator Nahid de Belgeonne, Founder of The Human Method, for SOOTHE: a week on the island of Lefkada, where you will enjoy profound learning and personal development to self-regulate your nervous system and leave you departing in a calm and collected state after just 6 nights.

Lefkada retreat is located in the beautiful Island of Lefkada, the gem of the Ionian sea. It is situated between two amazing blue bays offering breath-taking views. We offer a world-class luxurious facility immersed in a Mediterranean setting. Lefkada Retreat is the perfect place to relax and experience tranquillity.

The Human Method is a powerful practice of brain-body re-education, breathwork, anatomy in movement, somatic yoga flow, and deep rest.

You will enjoy carefully designed practices to help you let go of unhelpful patterns in the body and mind and lay down new possibilities for movement and for your life.

The Human Method has helped many people reduce their stress and anxiety, sleep better, function at their optimum, and stay emotionally resilient in an ever-changing environment.

• Energy shifting practises in the morning to lengthen, strengthen and. mobilise
• De-stressing practises in the evening to unravel, unwind and reorganise
• Somatic meditation, breathing and sleep practises

You will enjoy two beautifully realised movement spaces to practice in.

The glass studio is located in a private olive grove overlooking two bays, offering the sounds of nature from every corner. It is semi-closed with a modular roof surrounded by glass windows.

You can practice anytime of the day – the studio has black out curtains for when the sun is beating down, and lighting system to let you practice even when it gets dark.

The high quality flooring will give you the best practice experience. The venue offers high quality props: Yoga mats Wooden blocks Bolsters Straps and Blankets.

“I’ve designed this retreat as a direct response to the rising numbers of people I am seeing in my clinic dealing with burnout, heightened anxiety, relentless stress, and sleep issues,” explains de Belgeonne. “They need an antidote to our modern hypervigilant world, and The Soothe Retreats are about soothing the put-upon nervous system and building resilience for tough times. The themed week will progressively build your practice and understanding. You will leave feeling healthy and strong, fully restored from the stresses of your life and with the power and resources to live with more joy in the long term.”
