7 Day Slow Living Retreat at Samudra, Gozo Island
With Luca, Mila, Toran, Iris, Beatrice and Sankara
July 4 - 10, 2026
Held in the sacred landscape of Gozo, our signature “Slow Living” retreat journey weaves somatic practice, creative expression, deep rest, ritual, and the healing power of community.
Our week-long immersion is an invitation to draw back from the noise of life and gently return to the rhythm of your body, your breath, and your truth. At Samudra, we create safe and sacred space for the process of remembering. Who are you beneath the noise, the masks and the roles? Slow Living is where you come to feel again. To be seen again. To choose yourself, again.
Slow Living is a soul retreat for those ready to meet themselves—not as they should be, but as they are.
At Samudra, we gather in sacred space to pause, soften, and gently peel back the layers. Through somatic practice, ritual, creative expression, emotional inquiry, and community, this retreat guides you back to the wisdom of your body and the quiet clarity of your inner truth.
Each day on retreat is an invitation to:
≜ Reclaim the forgotten parts of the self
≜ Listen to what you’ve rushed past
≜ Hold the parts of you that have felt too much or not enough
≜ To unlearn, unmask, and reweave your wholeness
Samudra is located in the middle of the Mediterranean sea on the island of Gozo in the village of Qala. Gozo, which means ‘joy’, is a little spit of land sitting in the sea with a unique rocky coastal landscape, waters so crystal-clear and the sky so bright blue that you’ll have to rub your eyes to believe what you are seeing. We host you within our 400-year-old farmhouses that sit across the road from one another. Experience authentic Mediterranean living on your retreat with us.
Samudra is more than a wellness destination – it is a living sanctuary for sacred reconnection. Samudra is a place for self-study, inner work and personal growth where you are required to participate and open yourself to new perspectives, share with others and live in a community environment. You will be led an held by our community with six facilitators and cooked for daily by our in-house chef. Together we have created a nurturing, loving and safe environment to welcome you home.
This retreat accommodates up to 12 guests across our beautiful, 400-year-old traditional farmhouses each with their own private pools and serene views of the Mediterranean sea and surrounding nature.
