The Art of Connection
with Ashley Trout, Winemaker
Yoga & Meditation + Food & Wine
May 19-26, 2027 | Corfu, Greece
About the retreat
There is something about being on an island that invites us to soften. To move a little slower. To listen more closely. To remember that connection begins not outside of us, but within.
Set against the luminous waters and olive groves of Corfu, The Art of Connection is an invitation to return to your own embodied experience through the practices of yoga, meditation, and mindful presence. Together, we'll cultivate the inner steadiness that allows us to meet ourselves with greater clarity, curiosity, and ease. From this foundation, connection becomes less something we seek and more something we naturally embody—with ourselves, with one another, and with the world around us.
Our home for the week is the elegant Domes Miramare, a five-star seaside retreat where unhurried mornings, sparkling Ionian waters, and thoughtful hospitality create the perfect setting to slow down and settle in. Each day will begin with movement, breath, and meditation guided by yoga teacher Court Morgan, offering space to reconnect with the wisdom of the body and the quiet intelligence of the heart.
Connection extends well beyond the yoga mat. Throughout the retreat, acclaimed winemaker Ashley Trout will guide curated food and wine experiences that invite us to savor the richness of place, season, and community. We'll gather around tables at charming local tavernas, discovering the warmth and flavors of Corfu, and enjoy an unforgettable evening at Makris, where a Michelin-starred chef offers a dining experience that celebrates the artistry of Greek cuisine with creativity and intention.
There will be abundant time to wander the winding streets of Corfu's Old Town, swim in the crystal-clear Ionian Sea, rest on sun-warmed beaches, or simply do nothing at all. We'll spend a day by boat exploring nearby islands, sharing meals under open skies, and allowing the rhythms of the Mediterranean to shape our days. Whether you crave meaningful conversation or quiet solitude, this retreat offers space for both. Come exactly as you are, and discover the freedom to move between stillness and celebration, reflection and play, community and rest.
The Art of Connection is an invitation to remember the goodness of simply being here. To nourish yourself through practice, beauty, exceptional food and wine, meaningful connection, and the quiet magic of a place where time seems to expand. You’ll leave feeling more rooted in yourself, more open to life, and deeply restored.
About the Venue
The spaces we inhabit shape the way we feel, move, and connect. We chose Domes Miramare because it embodies the same intention as this retreat: understated luxury, natural beauty, and an atmosphere that invites you to exhale.
Nestled along the tranquil shores of the Ionian Sea, this adults-only, five-star retreat offers an experience of effortless elegance. Ancient olive trees, private beaches, crystal-clear water, and thoughtfully designed spaces create a sense of ease from the moment you arrive. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee overlooking the sea, taking an afternoon swim, unwinding at the spa, or watching the sunset from the waterfront, every detail encourages you to slow down and savor the present moment.
More than a beautiful place to stay, Domes Miramare provides the space to integrate the experience of the retreat. Between practices, you'll have time to rest deeply, explore the island, or simply be - without the pressure to do more. We believe that spaciousness is an essential part of transformation, and this setting offers it in abundance.
It is our hope that you'll leave not only inspired by the beauty of Corfu, but reminded of the beauty that becomes available when we give ourselves permission to pause.
