MAY 12TH — 16TH 2025
With Christina Zompa Kaloglou
Founder & Director, Descoverartists
Join Christina on a Grecian island for a 5-day retreat where we’ll cook together, share stories, and enjoy the island’s natural beauty, all while forging deep connections through our love of food.
Picture fresh, light meals, days spent by the sea, followed by lazy afternoons resting in the gentle summer breeze.
SunWine Sea Community Art Food
At Neiromai, our retreat is about more than food; it's about rekindling cherished memories and creating new ones. For us, food is deeply sentimental. It brings back vivid recollections of summer days spent swimming at the beach, returning to find our grandmother's lovingly prepared meals waiting for us. These meals, light and refreshing, were a simple joy, enjoyed with excitement after a morning in the sea. They were followed by lazy afternoons, resting on clean white bedsheets, with the windows open to welcome the summer breeze and the (not so) gentle hum of cicadas.
This retreat aims to recreate that sense of nostalgia and comfort. We want to connect with the essence of Greek culture, sharing meals that evoke warmth and tradition, and encourage you to savor the simple pleasures of life. Together, we'll explore Kea’s culinary delights, create dishes that celebrate our roots, and embrace the art of slowing down. Through cooking, sharing stories, and enjoying the beautiful surroundings, we hope to capture the magic of those summer days and the deep connections that food can foster.
This experience is all about indulging in great food. There won’t be any yoga or mindfulness sessions, but you can look forward to cooking, savoring delicious dishes, hiking and swimming (and, there will be some dancing too!). The focus is on revealing the best-kept secrets of the island, enjoying amazing food, and having fun.
