About This Retreat
Join Sara Haven Stewart at Minos Palace, Crete, for a wellness retreat that will enhance your body, mind and soul. Through daily movement sessions, wellness workshops and healthy cooking classes, Sara will guide you to incrorporate a conscious, healthy and balanced way of living.
“Create a life that feels good on the inside; not just one that looks good on the outside.”
Sara believes this encompasses every facet of life — friendships, relationships, careers, not only our interactions in the social media sphere — and encourages internal (and sustainable) health and development over external (and fleeting) validation.
