We’re starting something new:
Each month, I choose a magazine that catches my eye — and more importantly, my mind. Throughout the month, I’ll be sharing excerpts, ideas, and articles that spoke to me in some way.
This May, I’m leafing through Women’s Health UK and starting with a topic that feels deeply personal: friendship.
In two weeks, our retreat will take us to Galaxidi. On the occasion of the “MAZI sti GIORTI” festival, we seized the opportunity to visit this beautiful place — a town just a few hours from Athens that feels like it holds the essence of an island and the history of another time.
Water is a fundamental component of a healthy diet. It doesn’t provide energy, as it contains no calories, but it is vital for health and survival. It can also be a significant source of essential elements such as iodine and fluoride.
In a world where time is precious, the Tabata method proves that just a few minutes are enough to make a significant improvement in your physical condition. It is a form of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) that combines efficiency with speed — and leaves no room for doubt: if you work with intensity, your body will respond.

How many times have you felt like you want to change everything?
To become “the best version of yourself,” to leave behind what weighs you down, to start a brand new life from scratch?
And then… reality kicks in.
The truth is harsh:
Life doesn’t change with grand decisions or magic wands.
Nor with a list of New Year’s Resolutions that makes us feel amazing for a week and then disappears under piles of “shoulds”.
Life changes slowly. Change is… “boring”.
It’s that small action you take every day, the one that no one sees.
In this blog, you will find a variety of topics focused on the body-mind-spirit philosophy, aiming for a holistic approach to health and well-being.
Body: Tips on exercise, mobility, and strengthening the body through functional training, Pilates, or other forms of movement that support physical fitness and long-term health.
