About This Event
Join fitness supertrainer Elise Joan and self-care expert Danika Brysha in a holistic summit in Crete!
This retreat is one of a kind! Each day you’ll get to join both Elise and Danika and choose between their sessions! And each evening, you’ll get to participate in guided reflection with a psychologist for a full mind, body & soul experience. You will enjoy the Greek sun, taste Greek delicacies, rest & unplug, and partake in fun activities around the area.
