Mother & Child Retreat
- by XpatAthens
- Tuesday, 12 May 2026
Three gentle summer days for mothers and children to slow down, get sandy, spacious breathing, make wishes, laugh loudly, and remember that healing sometimes looks like mud on your clothes and flowers in your hair.
A retreat for those who need:
- less screen time
- more barefoot time
- nervous system exhale
- meaningful connection
- and maybe five uninterrupted sips of tea.
