Reclamation Retreat: Embracing the Oracle Within

The voice of the divine feminine has grown weary of being suppressed. She’s the eternal inner voice that unlocks our yearnings, desires, creativity, and power. Do you sense it? Are you drawn to pause, to listen closely to unleash the parts that have been staying small and hidden? 

We invite you to gather and reconnect as a sisterhood, as women have done since the beginning of time. How amazing it will feel to let down our hair, and enjoy each other’s company while allowing every facet of your being to be acknowledged and cherished. Now is the time, dear sister, to unwind completely, to listen attentively, and to unearth the profound insights that dwell within you. Here lies the path to your next evolution, where true living begins. Will you join us?

Together, we will embark on a journey to reclaim our authentic selves and embrace the wisdom of our inner oracle—the deep reservoir of knowing within each of us. And where better to embark on this journey than to retreat in GREECE!

This retreat is for any and every woman…

…that is curious or longs for time to explore the nature of the divine feminine within. Whether you seek clarity in decision-making, guidance along your life's journey, or simply a deeper connection with your intuition, the Reclamation Retreat offers a sacred sanctuary to explore, nurture, and honor your inner oracle, the source of your inner wisdom and messages. Take this opportunity to step away from the demands of daily life and embark on a journey of profound self-discovery and empowerment.

Join us at the Reclamation Retreat and awaken the wisdom that resides within your heart and soul. Awaken your soul, remember your true essence, and reclaim your power on this transformative 8-day journey.

To stand and laugh and be seen and heard with and by other amazing women, to share without judgment or expectation, there is just nothing like it. Connie’s programs have been, for me, the foundation for lasting, authentic, supportive connections with kickass women at a time when they are really needed. I am forever changed and forever grateful.

When and Where the Magic Unfolds…

Villa Polyxena is a stunning seaside villa that combines the charm of traditional Greek architecture with modern comforts. Sheltered from the Meltemi in the calm Pagasetic Gulf lies the pretty fishing village of Mitzella.

Completely off the beaten track and unknown to the vast majority of foreigners, Mitzella takes one back several decades to a time when Greece was a quieter, simpler place. The villa provides gorgeous panoramic views, tranquil gardens, and an atmosphere of peace and serenity. This idyllic setting is perfect for reflection, healing, and transformation.

Join us May 24-31st 2025 (*with an option to come in a day early to stay in Athens, May 23rd)!

Private and shared options are available on the Reclamation Retreat.

Each suite is designed to promote relaxation and comfort. The accommodations include plush bedding, elegant decor, and outdoor areas with breathtaking sea views. The villa’s common areas, including the infinity pool, outdoor lounge, gardens, and private beach offer additional spaces to unwind and connect with other participants.

Accomodations

I have attended three incredible retreats offered by Rom Soul Escapes. Each one allowed me to experience the richness and beauty of the location along with so many opportunities to explore creativity, history and connection with myself and others. Sonja's attention to detail, her warmth and care for all participants and the quality of facilitators and activities make for an enriching experience.

Culinary Experience

Our retreat features a gourmet culinary experience highlighting the best Greek cuisine. Our expert chefs craft meals using fresh, locally sourced ingredients (some from the on-site garden), ensuring every bite is nourishing and delightful. We can accommodate special dietary needs, providing personalized attention to each guest's preferences.

Retreat Highlights

  • Morning Ritual Practice. Begin each day with a guided morning ritual that includes gentle yoga, meditation, and breathwork overlooking the sea. These practices set the tone for the day and inspire our immersion into the divine feminine mysteries and the oracle within.

  • All circles and special events

    • Opening and closing ceremony circles

    • Morning yoga and meditation

    • Themed circles to explore and awaken the divine feminine and oracle within. These gatherings will consist of embodiment practices, discussion, and sacred witnessing to guide participants to tap into their inner wisdom and intuition, the divine oracle within. Participants will move through a beautiful process and transformation to access, know, and navigate their innate guidance system, develop trust in their intuitive abilities, and integrate this wisdom into their daily lives.

    • Free time to connect with yourself and lovely women, and explore nature,

    • Zoom Welcome Circle before the retreat and Zoom Integration Circle after the retreat

    • An excursion to a stunning monestary ruin to practice connecting with the divine feminine wisdom within.

  • Greek cuisine is renowned for its vibrant flavors, fresh ingredients, and rich culinary traditions. Two authentic Greek cuisine meals will be served daily, not only as nourishment but also as a cultural experience enhancement!

  • Optional Excursions. We’ll be taking day trips to Delphi and the Mama Mia Islands (Skopelos). These excursions are optional, as we understand some may prefer to relax and enjoy the beautiful villa, while others may want to explore. Our first destination is the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, where the Pythia, the high priestess and oracle, once gave her prophecies. We’ll delve into the mysteries and history of the oracle. And of course, no visit to Greece would be complete without seeing the breathtaking islands of Skopelos!

  • Limited participants. We will have 16 women join us in Greece. We are asking those interested to fill out a short application form. This helps us to get to know you and make sure that this experience is a match! Shared and private room options range from $2999 to $4200. There will be an option to add the excursions to either or both Delphi and Skopelos and a hotel stay on May 23rd in Athens. You can pay in full or select a payment plan option. Once reviewed and accepted, we’ll be in touch for room selection!

Love from our retreat sisters

  • Connie is a thoughtful, graceful, strong, courageous, and deeply nurturing woman. Through her guidance and support, I witnessed myself alongside a group of women I had never before met open our hearts, tend our fires, release old stories, and uncover rich, fertile oneness. For years I've been searching for divine feminine medicine, and this retreat served it up in a glorious way -- soft and soothing, but fiery and intense when it needed to be. I hold so much love and gratitude for Connie and this group of women who truly saw and held my and each other's darkness and light.

    Laura G.

  • I had become so used to de-prioritizing my own care that any time, money, or focus on myself felt like a selfish overindulgence. The Rom Soul Escapes retreat was abeautiful experience and a well deserved investment in my wellbeing (and therefore, in my family’s well being). Every meditation, workshop, and encounter was so meaningful. The accommodations were breathtaking - like I was inside a storybook! But the most special takeaway is the new friendships I have made with so many gorgeous souls! What a treasure I get to carry in my heart! “

    Julia T.

  • A retreat experience is hard to describe but takeaways I've found after attending two of Connie's retreats are a greater sense of grounding and connectedness and community. A broader sense of self and joy in the every day. It's a journey towards honoring the past while also moving through it and clearing away things that are no longer serving us in order to move forward and create new experiences.

  • For a woman like myself, who is 26, independent, and loves to travel, finding a retreat that balances power with nurturing is rare. Sonja naturally cares deeply about each individual, making her retreats feel like a haven.If you're hesitant about booking one of her retreats, let me be your motivator: book it. If I hadn't gone to Italy, I would have missed out on a transformative experience. We live one life, and it's crucial to make the most of it. Don't let fear hold you back. Life is about creating the best memories with the best people, and this retreat offers just that.

    Emma R.

  • Connie was a safe guide throughout the whole retreat. She met us where we were, encouraging us to work through our feelings but never pushing too hard. It turns out that laughing, crying and singing with other women in the woods for a few days is the key to my inner peace.

    Kira K.

  • My first time in Italy with this yoga retreat was an experience I will never forget. Sonja had every detail down to a science. The activities, meals, and excursions were carefully executed with precision and attention to individual needs. The cottage I stayed in was extremely cozy and comfortable and the lovely group of women that I was paired with was an excellent fit. The food and wine exceeded my expectations everyday. The best part of course was the early morning chanting followed by yoga.
