9-days dedicated to your complete wellbeing,
Revive & Thrive includes:

  • A magical destination: Türkiye’s Aegean coast with its sapphire waters, ancient cultural influences, dramatic views and warm and hospitable culture is a place to immerse yourself in vibrant natural beauty, to rest, restore, and feel alive and reinvigorated.

    Set in a breath-taking, sweeping bay, with a mountainous backdrop, Kalkan is a historic fishing town with an exquisite harbour now bordered with friendly waterfront restaurants and small boutiques. Thriving but unspoilt, you’ll find its winding streets with overhanging balconies and eclectic Ottoman architecture irresistible.

  • A picturesque resort with comfortable accommodation: Patara Prince is a charming, rustic, privately-owned resort hotel nestled into the coast just across Kalkan bay. You will fall in love with its natural stone, abundant greenery and character-full winding pathways. It is far enough from the town to enjoy serenity and peace, but just a 15-minute walk or short boat ride for explorers.

    The vibe is mellow and comfortable, intimate yet spacious with plenty of areas in which to lose yourself and enjoy those much needed quiet moments and ‘you time’. You will have full use of the facilities including two salt-water, ocean-view pools, and tennis courts. Your en suite room with a sea view will be situated in the main hotel, furnished in a traditional style.

  • A supportive wellness journey: Revive & Thrive is a gently revitalising retreat designed by two wellness professionals, Sarah Grant and Emily Perrier.

    Taking a mind-body-spirit approach, they use the seven chakras as a basis for their 8-night retreat programme.  The chakra system is the body’s major energy system, and represents the flow of life energy through the body. During your retreat journey, you will be introduced to each chakra and its function, and discover how to restore balance and keep energy flowing healthily and harmoniously. 

    You will have ready access to Sarah and Emily’s friendly support through-out, and receive a supportive printed workbook. A post-retreat group online workshop with Sarah & Emily will be available  6-weeks later to help you identify areas where you could create more balance, and continue to thrive.

  • Daily Energy Medicine Yoga®️: Designed for all abilities, this gentle and restorative practice is a magical union of yoga and energy medicine that amplifies the benefits of a traditional practice by combining simple movements that help the body to self-regulate, energise, and move with more ease.

  • Daily Energy & Intuitive Eating Workshops: Relaxed workshops and sharing circles designed to build understanding of how your body’s natural energy system connects with your health and habits. These inspiring and illuminating sessions connect you with intuitive approaches to eating that help to de-stress your relationship with food, retune with your body, and enhance energy in your daily life.

  • Other holistic activities: Restorative guided meditations, rejuvenating visualisations, journalling, breath-work practice, and coastal walks. (You can also book into a local spa/hammam or have reflexology onsite at additional cost). 

  • Energising excursions: Wander through the stalls of a delightful food market in a neighbouring town; discover Patara’s ancient Lycian ruins and golden 12-mile protected beach; unwind for a day on a private gulet boat trip with plenty of swim stops and an opportunity for a cleansing mud bath.

  • Nourishing food: Locally sourced, nutritious, plant-powered Turkish meals. Vegans and vegetarians will be well catered for.. Breakfasts will be Turkish-style including salads, tomatoes, cucumber, eggs, olives, cheese, breads, tahini, oats, yoghurts and fruits. A spectacular Turkish breakfast in the mountains, and an evening meal on the roof terrace of a local restaurant, are also included.

“I really loved the unique blend of chakra-based, energy medicine yoga and intuitive eating coaching on this retreat. I’m leaving Kalkan feeling amazing, but also excited about taking my new approach to my eating habits and self-care home with me! I have connected with my body and energy body in a new and unexpected way and it’s so exciting. I now see myself in a completely new way! I love it.”

“You feel totally welcomed by Emily and Sarah. As a total beginner with yoga, I felt very comfortable in Emily’s lessons. Sarah really helped me understand my relationship between food, and the connections between food and my energy and mood. Evenings were filled with laughter followed by plenty of good sleep. I feel more relaxed, and areas where I felt a pain or a niggle have lessened.”

“Emily, you are a wonderful yoga teacher and it was so special to be able to do the classes in the sun, looking out on the turquoise sea. I also enjoyed the nutrition workshops, and Sarah you’ll be thrilled to know I have already taken your advice on board and have incorporated many of your ideas in to my daily routine.
