You know this kind of week...

You know this week. The one where your phone wakes up before you do. Where you give everyone the switched-on version of you and run on whatever's left.

You're not burnt out. You're just full — of tasks, of responsibility, of everyone else's needs. And somewhere underneath all of it, your body has been asking for a pause.

This is what six days in Crete is for.

Imagine this instead...

You wake up in a simple villa with a view of the Aegean. The air already warm, the light already golden. Coffee in silence. A swim. Breakfast with inspiring, real women sharing honestly.

Then a gentle practice brings you back into your body. Afterward, your system feels quieter than it has in months.

The rest of the day is slow so there's space — to rest, to eat beautiful food, to sit with the bigger questions. To remember how you actually want to feel.

Six days to go home nourished, softer, and more yourself than you've felt in a long time.

Crete has been holding women for thousands of years

This is the island where sacred caves were dedicated to Eileithyia — the goddess of female power, one of the oldest divine figures in Greece. Women travelled from across the Mediterranean to leave offerings in her cave. To be held by something ancient. To remember who they were. 

Narrow whitewashed streets. Ancient olive trees. Heat rising from stone. The Aegean so warm and clear it feels like it was made for a body that finally has nowhere to be. Fresh bread dipped in olive oil. The taste of salt on your lips from an afternoon in the sea. Wine as the sun goes down. Your body already knows this place. Even if you've never been.

The WHOLE Woman Framework

During the retreat, we gently work through five areas of your life — not to fix you, but to help you listen to yourself & reorient life to what feels good.

Not becoming someone new. Just remembering the woman you already are — the one who got a little buried under the noise.

Here is the rhythm of our week

Day 1 — Arrival Settle into the villa. Walk the land, find the sea. No agenda tonight — just arrival, a shared meal, and the first exhale.

Day 2 — Slowing Down Morning silence and coffee. A naked swim if you want it. Your first embodiment practice. The pace of the week starts to land in your body.

Days 3 & 4 — Embodiment & exploring the WHOLE Woman Framework: Think morning embodiment or sensuality classes, WHOLE woman workshops. Afternoons free for rest, journaling, or simply doing nothing. Evenings singing around the fire under a Greek sky full of stars. These are the days you will feel your shoulders finally drop, your jaw softens & you start to feel that warm glow of relaxation in your being.

Day 5 — Creativity & Integration: Time to start weaving the week into something you'll actually take home with you, not just a memory.

Day 6 — Departure: A slow morning. Closing circle. You leave with new sisters you'll feel connected to for life — and a body that remembers how to soften.

What you'll take home

A calmer nervous system. A deeper relationship with your own body. More clarity on what you actually want, instead of what you think you should want.

A renewed relationship with rest, pleasure, and receiving — without guilt attached to any of it.

And underneath all of it, a felt sense that you don't have to build your life from pressure. You can build it from pleasure instead.

Women who've journeyed with Tamara before... 

Hi love, I'm Tamara

I am a Somatic & Sexuality Educator & Co-creator of The Jade Temple

Before this work found me, I spent 15 years leading major accounts in the creative world of advertising so I know what it's like to override, overwork and sacrifice myself for the sake of a job. That's why I burned out and decided to burn it all down and find a new calling in life.

Fast forward to becoming a Somatic & Sexuality Educator and Co-Creator of The Jade Temple, I have now supported thousands of women into a journey of reconnecting to the inherent wisdom & pleasure that exists in their female bodies & rewriting their sexuality as their greatest source of power.

After running 16 retreats in the recent years, I can honestly say that retreats have the power to change women's lives - and it's literally one of my favourite things to hold. I would absolutely love to host you in this beautiful retreat.
