Eros & Ease
A Retreat for Body, Breath & Belonging
Paros, Greece · September 15–19, 2026 · Tuesday to Saturday
Five extraordinary days of moving bodies and souls
We're calling you to the heart of Paros, one of the most luminous islands in the Aegean, for five days of celebration — a feast for body and soul held in the embrace of sun, sea, and sacred movement to inhabit two complementary energies that, together, create wholeness:
✦ EROS — the spark of vitality, creativity, and passion that calls you to devour and celebrate life with unadulterated pleasure and enjoyment.
✦ EASE — naturally present in the island of Paros which invites you to soften, flow, and simply be. Melt into breathwork and meditation, and rest in the sweet luxury of the present moment.

Your Facilitators
Lola Manekin — USA
A woman of healing, dance, truth, and perpetual becoming. Originally from Brazil, Lola has always moved through the world in dance — it is her mother tongue. She is a practitioner of Chinese medicine, creator of the BODY ALCHEMISTA dance method, founder of TRIBE Holistic Arts Studio in Baltimore, co-creator of the Movement Collective Kinvoke, a singer-songwriter, breathwork trainer, and creator of VINYASA DANCE.

Noa Kadman — Israel
A facilitator and teacher of conscious movement and dance, Noa weaves together a rich tapestry of modalities — trained in the Nia Technique, Chakra based Dance, Kundalini Yoga, vocal work, and meditation — under her Free2Be method. She seeks truth and authenticity through the body, and creates the conditions for genuine, lasting transformation through the body-mind. Noa teaches regular movement classes and leads deep-dive workshops through the chakras and mudras. Currently developing the Embodied Mudra Dance Practice, where subtle energetics and presence, precede the dance and movement.
"Real change lives in the body. We move, and we transform."

The Island of Paros
Paros sits just one hour from Athens by air, and is considered one of the most beautiful and welcoming islands in the Cyclades. Easy to explore by car, the island unfolds in layers: countless stunning beaches, charming whitewashed villages, boutique shops, authentic tavernas, and the vibrant nightlife of the town of Naoussa.
The island's capital, Parikia, is also home to the main port — your gateway to this Aegean gem.
Where We'll Stay
We'll be accommodated in two small, family-run hotels nestled close to the waterfront in the village of Ambelas — just 45 minutes from the airport. These are intimate, human-scale spaces. Both have swimming pools and dreamy corners to lounge, nap, and soak in the island air.
Where We'll Practice
Our movement practice will unfold at Taos Center, just a 10-minute drive from our hotels. Taos is a dedicated movement and spiritual center hosting a diverse range of workshops in the worlds of movement, consciousness, and spirit — the perfect vessel for our journey.
