Dedicated to your complete wellbeing,
REVIVE & THRIVE includes:
-
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, feel alive and reinvigorated.
Set in a breath-taking, sweeping bay, with a crystal quartz infused 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. -
Each day of REVIVE & THRIVE builds on the next, creating a nourishing rhythm of movement, reflection, rest and connection.
Through gentle practices, illuminating workshops and meaningful conversations, you’ll be guided on a journey to support harmony, ease and confidence in your body and in your relationship with food - during the retreat and beyond.
The chakra system (the body’s major energy map governing the flow of life force) forms the foundation of our retreat programme. Throughout the week, you’ll become familiar with each chakra and learn how to rebalance your energy to promote wellbeing and vitality.
You’ll have continual access to Emily and Sarah’s kind, friendly support, and receive a beautifully designed printed workbook - your personal companion for the retreat. Inside you’ll find Intuitive Eating and Energy Medicine practices, chakra insights, and journalling space to support your reflections and growth.
A post-retreat online workshop will be offered four weeks later - a chance to reconnect and sustain your momentum at home.
-
Designed for all abilities, these gentle, restorative practices are a magical union of yoga and energy medicine that teach you how to feel and support the flow of energy, both within and around your body.
By combining simple movements that help the body to release tension, self-regulate, energise and move with more ease, Energy Medicine Yoga amplifies the benefits of a traditional practice.
You will also learn to connect with your Chakra energy system to enhance your relaxation, health and happiness. When we work with our chakras we have the ability to release old patterns and stories, leaving us feeling lighter, clearer and with a deeper connection to who we are.
Restoring your sense of balance and flow, you will find the daily Yoga sessions to be a deeply nourishing experience for mind, body and soul.
-
Illuminating, relaxed and gently transformative, these sessions weave together compassionate, intuitive approaches to eating and self-care.
You’ll explore how your body’s energy patterns influence both your health and your relationship with food, discover ways to move beyond stress-driven eating, and how to connect with your innate wisdom around food and body.
Held in a stunning, open air, stone sanctuary, each workshop is an opportunity to gain new knowledge and offers time for reflection and journalling to help you integrate new insights and inspire lasting, nourishing habits.
-
Experience a thoughtful, soulful blend of adventure and relaxation, including:
Exploring Patara’s ancient ruins and 12-mile golden beach
A private gulet boat trip with swim stops and a natural mud bath
Hands-on cookery school making and enjoying delicious, vibrant vegetarian dishes with an award winning Turkish chef
A spectacular Turkish meal in the mountains, and village walk
Guided meditations, Yoga nidra, breathwork, journalling, and visualisations
(You can also book into a local spa/hammam or have reflexology onsite at additional cost).
-
Enjoy locally sourced, plant-powered Turkish meals, designed to support your energy and wellbeing. Vegans and vegetarians will be well catered for.
Each year we work with Patara’s chefs who curate a bespoke menu for our group, that includes some traditional dishes handed down through generations.
Breakfasts are Turkish ‘buffet’ style including salads, tomatoes, cucumber, eggs, olives, cheese, breads, tahini, oats, yoghurts and fruits.
-
Stay at Patara Prince, a picturesque, privately owned resort nestled into the hillside overlooking Kalkan Bay, with rustic, natural stone architecture, lush greenery, and character-filled 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, quirky yet 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.
““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.””

““Emily and Sarah deliver a programme that is life changing. This was my second retreat and as such I have been able to note the progress I have made and also build on their previous retreat. The activities, me time, environment and organisation are exceptional. They embody what they are delivering and I felt very supported, heard and helped through every aspect of the week. It has been another transformative experience delivered yet again by two gorgeous souls with love, light and considerable wisdom - you need to come!””
““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.””
““I am so content on completing this week. My spirit is alive, the authentic me has returned and I am excited about taking all I’ve learned home. I am more thankful for than critical of my body than I ever have been.””
“Wow! So glad to see you are holding more of these retreats...the mix of yoga practice and nutritional expertise over a few days is transformational... definitely resets and rebalances... on the road back to good health. Thank you.”
