“Re-Envision Retreat: Connecting with Self, Caring for the World”

May 30-June 4, 2023.

A caretaking retreat for nurturing ourselves and becoming effective activists.

During the second week of our Thrive@Zen Rocks Festival, we are inviting the next generation, young visionaries who feel the importance of taking care of our world in a responsible way. We want to meet these young people in order to listen to them, encourage, support, nurture them so they will feel empowered to get further involved with social matters with a new focus and optimism, knowing there is a community that roots for them.

These young visionaries will have the opportunity to work with experienced journalist Jo Confino who works with companies, organizations, and young groups on sustainability for many years, and Paz Perlman, artist, who creates art as a form of activism, and Andres Thomas Conteris formerly of “Democracy Now” Public Radio in the US, whose life is dedicated to peace work, equality, and sustainability. Daily there will be in a circle of discussion, yoga, mindfulness meditation led by Vivi Letsou & Esther Chang, and the rest of the team, as well as many walks, trekking in nature, all joyful, inclusive, community forming activities.

Help us raise funds in order to give the opportunity to young people to join us in the Live or Online THRIVE Festival at Zen Rocks—Greece: May 19-June 18, 2023.

Background For Your Support of Thrive@Zen Rocks, May 19-June 18, 2023

During this festival we want to explore together what it means for us to THRIVE as individuals, communities, and as a planet during these critical times. We shall support ACTIVISM for : Equality, sustainability, regenerative living, sustainability, personal & global transformation. Inspirational teachers & musicians will lead us through a journey of personal empowerment, connection with the divine and our community of interbeing.

Zen Rocks is a small independent retreat center with limited funding sources and real running costs (the major work is done by paid workers, not volunteers so far). We are not a non-profit organization receiving funding from sources, nor are we a large scale hotel with investment capital behind us. A small team of visionaries, we are here to provide a safe haven for people through creating opportunities for: healing, restoration, sincere meditation practice, and positive action for humanity, animals, our planet.
