Mindfulness in Nature – A Cretan Experience

Crete Within: A Mindful Travel Experience

This group mindfulness experience offers participants a shared yet deeply personal journey into presence, connection, and awareness. Guided by a licensed psychologist and psychotherapist trained in indfulness-based practices, small groups engage in experiential exercises designed to cultivate sensory awareness, grounding, and embodied attention. Participants may choose between mindful walking in Crete’s natural landscapes, such as gorges, coastal paths, or beaches, mindful tasting experiences using local agricultural and pastoral products, or guided mindfulness meditation held outdoors in nature. Each option draws on the rhythm, textures, and sensory richness of the Cretan environment. Through the collective rhythm of the group and the surrounding environment, this 90-minute experience fosters connection not only with nature and place, but also with others, creating a meaningful and restorative shared moment.
