Detailed
Weekly Information - Olive Mill 2010
West Crete Holidays is a group of several venues within the same area of which the Olive Mill is part. Ask the staff in the Free Spirit office if you require more information.
Whilst 90% of the holidays are Yoga based led by visiting UK teachers, scattered throughout the year we also have dedicated walking holidays, walking combined with yoga, writing and poetry, Angel workshops and DNA Healing weeks.
Non participant partners and friends are also welcome and we can make provisions for families to stay in apartments either at the beach or inland at Potamida village.
April 20th - 27th - May 4th
Relax-Refresh-Revive
Olive Mill, Potomida
Juliet Green and David Lister
We see many people on our holidays who lead stressful lives and so we
designed this holiday to help.
You can simply relax and do nothing or dip into recuperative morning yoga to help you unwind and /or evening meditation.
Find your feet and go on guided walks or be with the lapping waves at the beach.
Three treatments/massages are yours; we will also be there to listen to you.
You may wish to opt for additional home cooked meals (all vegetarian/special diets) so you don’t even have to think about menus and tavernas - a real retreat. You can arrange this when you arrive.
Juliet is a qualified Sivananda yoga teacher and Aromatherapy masseuse. She loves cooking.
Dave is a Kinesiologist with an intuitive understanding of health. He leads the walks.
May 4th - 11th
Yoga and Walks
Olive Mill, Potomida
Juliet Green and David Lister
Both
Juliet and David offer you a treat to suit walkers and people wanting a yoga
holiday.
Each morning Juliet teaches a two hour yoga asana session, followed by the
Mill's Big Breakfast and then David leads a walk in the lovely varied
countryside around the Mill, of about two hours so you have free time too.
Some walks require transport (included in the cost) others are direct from the door.
Walking sandals or trainers are a must!
In the late afternoon we're back in the yoga studio for an hour's quiet but
profound stretching and breathing session.
This is a great holiday for newcomers to yoga – not sure a yoga holiday is
for you?
See you there!

Yoga and CBT
Mithimna Beach & Olive Mill
Gill Garrett and Juliet Green
The
week is not prescriptive and set in stone but provides a framework from
which you can choose the activities and sessions which fit best each day.
The opportunities for walking, swimming, cycling and yoga will be
offered for individuals to make their own choices and maximise the
integration and development of heart, body and spirit.
Juliet Green brings her sensitive and heart-felt approach to yoga
to you each morning to help prepare you for meditation and the practices
that Gill will teach. Working into silence and stillness is the aim, but
also to cast off the limitations of the body brought about by life stresses.
Respect for and nurturing of the body are important for Juliet and as she
says: we are born with the body to suit this life, it is a blessing. Juliet
also brings to you healing skills from Kinesiology to help you live with a
comfortable body.
Gill Garratt is a Psychotherapist
who likes to live and work in a holistic way. Heart, body and spirit
awareness combine to give a fabulous holiday experience which includes
sharing of resources of everyone to give a caring and fun environment
nurturing respect and personal development.
Gill's passions are CBT therapy, an integration of philosophy, science
and cognitive awareness, walking, cycling, dance and being at one in the
beautiful Greek climate & culture, birthplace of civilisation. The week
will include opportunities to consider what CBT is about, practical
workshops, and time to reflect on what is important to the individual
and how to look towards the future and integrate positive psychology.
She will include Mindfulness meditative experiences.
The philosophy of Carl Rogers emphasised that the person who knows what
is best for you is yourself - trust in the process.
We aim to be alongside you as facilitators in this process in a genuine and
empathic way.
