Your Team

Tex and Sacha will be your team and your friends during the retreat.

  • Sacha Heath

    Experienced yoga teacher, mantra singer, and spiritual guide

    Sacha Heath originally comes from Great Britain and has found her chosen home on Corfu. Her personal journey led her from a promising outlook in the pop music world to a conscious decision for spiritual music and practice. Today, she shares her passion primarily through touching mantra singing, often accompanied by harmonium or guitar, creating spaces of deep connection and healing. Her deep anchoring in yoga and meditation goes back over 20 years. Sacha is known for her gentle, nurturing yoga style, which she often lovingly calls “Lazy Yoga” – an approach that emphasizes regeneration, mindfulness, and accessibility for all experience levels. Her ability to combine yoga, sound (through mantras and kirtan), and mindful community (e.g., in Sharing Circles) makes her work particularly special. With her warm and grounded manner, Sacha has already reached and inspired tens of thousands of people worldwide through international courses, retreats, and a strong online presence (including on Insight Timer). In the workshop, Sacha leads the yoga and mantra part. Her gift for creating an atmosphere of inner reflection and well-being through movement, sound, and silence forms the perfect complement to Tex’s focus on creative development and expression.

  • Tex

    Multidisciplinary artist, innovator, and experienced facilitator, known for his work at the intersection of music, creativity, and community

    As the founder and creative mind behind TV Noir, Tex has created a multi-award-winning and groundbreaking music format. TV Noir is famous for its intimate atmosphere, authentic artist encounters, and for how it has established a new, deeply connected music experience in the digital age – with 200 Million views on Youtube. With this experience in building formats and engaged communities, Tex brings a deep understanding of how creative processes can be fostered and inspiring spaces can be designed. His background as a singer-songwriter, combined with an unusual perspective as a studied mathematician and former CTO and head of knowledge management, gives him a unique view on creative strategies and problem-solving. In this workshop, Tex dedicates himself to the creativity part. He explores with participants ways in which new creative impulses can be released through authenticity, playful experimentation, and connection to one’s own experience – an approach that harmonizes wonderfully with Sacha’s focus on body and presence.

In this Retreat You Will...

01

ENJOY FREE TIME & NATURE TIME

the Artful Life program gives space each day for both our creative wellbeing workshops, but knowing well that creativity needs downtime, practice time and integration time, you will have lots of free time each afternoon and evening so that you can lounge by the beach, take walks in the olive groves, have long meals at beachside tavernas, or even take trips to other corners of the island.

ARTFUL LIFE RETREAT PROGRAM

WE JOURNEY TOGETHER

JUNE 14th- 20th 2025

Our workshops will mainly be held between 9 & 14.00 daily. A yummy breakfast provided after yoga/movement each day, in addition to a mid session tea and fruit snack.

After 14.00 each day you will have plenty of free time for leisurely lunches, beach time, creative solo practice and play.

Day 1 Welcome

Welcome to Artful Life!

  • 09.00- 14:00: Opening Session
    We'll gather for a warm welcome at The Soundgarden. This first session will include a gentle yoga practice, a yummy breakfast, introductions, and an overview of the week's flow. Set your intentions and connect with your fellow retreat participants as we dive right in to some creative warm ups.
Day 2 Motion
  • 11- 16.00 In today's session we play with a slightly different program to the rest of the week. We will with move our bodies in a very special movement practice, followed by a delicious & healthy brunch. We will feel into our vision for the week and set the foundation for our week's journey as we explore different ways to find our creative vison and encounter our inner or outer muse.
Day 3 Play
  • 09.00- 14:00: This day invites participants to step into the creative process with curiosity and play. The morning begins with an exploratory yoga practice, encouraging a sense of presence and openness. Through guided exercises and improvisational prompts, we engage in spontaneous creation—whether through movement, sound, words, or visual art. The focus is on experimentation rather than perfection, allowing ideas to emerge organically. Small group collaborations foster trust and playfulness, while gentle feedback offers encouragement without pressure.
Day 4 Silence
  • 09.00- 14:00Today unfolds in quiet reflection, embracing the practice of mouna —intentional silence—to deepen creativity. A silent breakfast leads into a contemplative exploration of stillness as a tool for artistic expression. Small groups co-create short pieces, weaving silence into their process and performance. The afternoon offers time for individual projects or gentle social reconnection, allowing insights from the morning to integrate.
Day 5 Vision
  • 09.00- 14:00: Today we are invited to expand our perspectives and explore new possibilities. A breathwork practice opens the day, followed by an inquiry into vision—who we are, who we could be, and the stories we tell ourselves. Through improvisation and deep reflection, we explore identity, stepping into alternative lives and new creative expressions. The afternoon offers time to rest, dream, and let ideas unfold.
Day 6 Craft
  • 09.00- 14:00: Today is devoted to bringing creative visions to life. Participants take the lead in the morning yoga session, embodying their own creative authority. A meditation practice sets the stage for deep focus, followed by dedicated time to shape personal projects. Supportive feedback from mentors and peers encourages confidence and refinement, with space in the afternoon for continued exploration or rest.
Day 7 Celebration
  • Today is a day of integration and sharing. A final morning yoga session weaves together the week's journey, followed by time to refine and polish creative works. The afternoon and evening may offers an intimate and supportive sharing— We celebrate with a closing ceremony, honoring the creative growth, transformation, and connections that have unfolded throughout the week.

  • You are looking to deepen their connection to creativity through movement, mindfulness, and community.
  • You are open to self-exploration and personal growth through embodied practices, collaborative exercises, and reflective silence.
  • You enjoy a balance of structure and free time, with opportunities for both guided sessions and independent creative work.
  • You are willing to step outside their comfort zone, experiment with new forms of expression, and engage in a supportive, process-oriented environment.

THIS RETREAT MAYNOTBE A GOOD FIT FOR YOU IF...

  • You are looking for a highly technical or skill-based art training rather than an experiential and holistic approach to creativity.
  • You are uncomfortable with group sharing, collaboration, or the reflective practices woven into the retreat.
  • You prefer a rigid schedule with tightly structured instruction rather than a blend of guidance and open-ended exploration.
  • You are seeking a purely relaxing retreat without an element of creative challenge, self-inquiry, or movement-based practices.
