Slow retreats on the Cretan coastline

Oasis retreats are small, carefully held gatherings in and around Chania. Think sea-salt mornings, shaded afternoons, candle-lit dinners and plenty of quiet in-between. Each retreat is an invitation to soften, land and remember your own pace.

A day at an Oasis retreat

Spacious days, softly structured.

Every retreat has its own rhythm, but most days flow with a gentle, predictable structure. Enough holding to feel safe; enough space to truly rest.

  • • Slow mornings, optional movement and unhurried breakfast.
  • • Late-morning circles, practices or local explorations.
  • • Long, shaded breaks for rest, journaling or sea swims.
  • • Late-afternoon gatherings, gentle workshops or walks.
  • • Shared dinners with seasonal Cretan food and candlelight.

Everything is optional. You can move closer to the group or further away, depending on what your body and heart are asking for that day.

Practical notes

Location & venues

We work with a small handful of homes and guesthouses we know personally — always with plenty of light, quiet corners and outdoor space.

Food

Seasonal, mostly Cretan and largely plant-forward. We can usually accommodate common dietary needs if you tell us in advance.

Booking & deposits

To keep things small, we confirm spaces with a deposit. If you’re curious but not quite ready, you can join the interest list instead.
