Gentle Spring Cleansing
Time to release what we no longer need and rejuvenate
just like the nature around us
MAY 13 – 19, 2024
Spring is nature’s birthing season – a time of creation and development. All is restored with life at the beginning of spring. It is a time for new growth in our lives, relationships and work – together with nature we flourish in this season.
Staying Healthy with the Seasons ~Elson Haas
A transition time from the inward-looking cold winter days to those of the active spring- summer season. An opportunity to invigorate the mind and the body and to boost our resilience with the support of our team at Under the Linden Tree organic farm.
This retreat is helpful for all of us needing to reset our inner compass
– cleansing the body, mind and spirit in a joyful and healthy way, amongst wise and mature trees!
Cleanse, Detox, Boost your Immunity
Detox and cleanse the body from the short and long-term toxic waste built up from our high paced lives; from the noisy hustle and bustle of every day, from the frequent use of internet technology and various nutritional substances such as gluten, dairy, sugar, tobacco and alcohol.
The ‘Gentle Cleanse Retreat’ is medically supported with a questionnaire to be filled out by each participant prior to registration. Each individual’s information will be accessed by a medical doctor and taken into consideration regarding the nutritional program.
There is only room for 8 participants in order to give each one the most important self- healing aid; quiet alone time with ourselves in nature.
Our balanced diet consisting of organic high quality ingredients, herbs and juices will help extract accumulated waste and feed the body with vital nutrients. Where possible food produce will be locally sourced.
Yoga, Qi-Gong and Sound therapy on our outdoor yoga deck under the linden tree will further stimulate detoxification. Our yurt is available for opt-in one-on-one sessions and therapies.

Nilufer Çağlar
Nilufer and her family arrived twenty years ago on the island. They came upon this hidden and abandoned paradise in the middle of Tinos. Carefully and slowly, they have restored the land, listening to and co-creating with all the elements of nature there: the linden tree, the olive grove, the orange orchard, the herbs and water sources. In time they planted a vineyard. This adventure still continues, and they look forward to see how it will evolve in time.
