Recharge your soul September 2022
Recharge your soul September 2022
Like no amount of rest or sleep seems to be getting your confidence, power, will, or luck back? That means your mojo is low, my friend.
Are you ready for a boost of soul energy, filling you with wonder, gratitude, clarity, strength, intuition, confidence, even vision for your life?
Most people don't pay attention to their mojo, even though it makes the difference between health and illness, alluring and unappealing, success and failure, magic and a boring life. Mojo is the best makeup, the best insurance, the best luck, the best vitamin, the best haircut and outfit, the best advice, the best personal trainer, the best massage, the best night out, the best vacation, the best personal coach, all in one. Mojo is…
But learning about mojo in a classroom alone is harder than in a mojorific environment. So this retreat emphasizes hands-on, experiential, sensual fun, a combination of shamanic woowoo exercises to get your magic up and running again, mixed with some getting into your body fun activities to make you feel your inner goddess stir to life again, all with a community of fellow mojo women. If you want a vacation that is more than the usual, a learning experience that doesn't feel heavy or classroomy, if you're tired of traveling alone or planning it all, if you want to meet some amazing like-minded women, or if you are hungering for something real to feed your soul but roughing it in the Amazon so you can have a vision doesn't appeal, than this is the trip for you. Part fun, part learning, part funky, part soulful, all in the most gorgeous, nurturing, mojorific, juicy of locales: a Greek island.
Besides, you're going to go on a vacation or travel at some point. Why go on another predictable all-inclusive, or travel alone with all the work of planning on you and no one to share the fun with? Why not make your vacation days count and do something liberating and exciting but safe and easy? Let Kate do all the heavy lifting for you and enjoy!
There's no question that there's stuff to learn about mojo but doing it all in a classroom is the slowest way to go. You have to experience mojo to grow your mojo. But we have to understand what mojo is, how it lives (or doesn't) in us, what our relationship to it is, how it effects us, what the causes of it are and more, to be able to get it back up and running. So what to do? Veteran workshop facilitator Kate Opashinov has created a hybrid model that gives all the learning of a workshop and all the relaxing of a retreat.
She has created an online learning program valued at $600 if you buy it alone but is included for super high value in the retreat registration fee. The program is comprehensive with 15 videos, 15 + pdfs to watch, learn, and ponder in your homework sheets. You get access to this online learning program the moment you sign up for the retreat. This way we get the school learning stuff out of the way before the retreat so we can focus on experience, discussion, and enjoyment at the retreat. Have questions from your online learning? Stuck some place? Found something challenging? Bring them to the retreat and ask Kate live in an amazing small group setting with individual attention. Understand conceptually but need an example? You'll get plenty live in our gorgeous local on a Greek island. This is the best of both: learning and lounging.
So in a handpicked mojorific environment with an experienced facilitator familiar with all that a Greek island can offer, Kate can bring you juicy results in a short week, each day building on the next, with time for fun socializing, personal reflection and rest. You just can't get that transformative effect in an online class alone or in a classroom in one week. And nothing gets the mojo up and running like sensuality, slowing down, nature, and maybe a bit of flirting ;)
Read on for the salacious details, the outrageous bonuses, and most importantly, to see if you are a fit for this small select group retreat....
"It is hard to find a great hotel with an amazing view, quiet, with the right mojo, great food nearby, good swimming, beach out front, all close enough to Athens so that it won't be a superdrag to get off an international flight and then hop on an excruciatingly long ferry ride to get there. Why am I telling you this? Because, for this reason, spots are actually limited by how many rooms we can snag at a perfect (meaning meets the above requirements) hotel. So when I say spots are limited, it's not marketing b.s., it's the logistical truth. So for this reason, we want people who are going to take one of the few precious spots to really love the trip, for it to be a fantastic fit for you and the group so it's a win-win-win for everyone. The goal here is happy-happy.
Part of what will be amazing here is meeting other women who function at a certain level, who understand your pain, and share your challenges, have similar mojo interests, so we really want to handpick this group to mesh well together for maximum learning and fun." ~Kate
You are a perfect fit if you want:
RECHARGE: need a restorative, rejuvenating break
BETTER LUCK: want your "luck" to change; want to get your groove back after a rough period, learn what mojo is, what it can do for you, why its low for you, and what you can do about it, and then get it back at the retreat
GOOD COMPANY: want to go on a vacation with like minded awesome women and are tired of traveling alone with no one to laugh with or going on a tour with people who you have NOTHING in common with, or with family or friends who d-r-a-i-n you.
GROWTH : want more out of your vacation days than just margaritas and a tan? You can still get a tan and a drink but grow as a person while you do it.
WONDER: want to be surprised and delighted but you can't very well surprise yourself, can you? So let Kate do it with treats and pampering in mojo-building ways
Who this is not for:
if you can’t handle sun and heat, swimming, and lounging
if you hate greek cuisine
if you hate a sea view hotel room
you can’t handle a relaxed schedule
you can’t handle some physical exercise
you don’t like delightful surprises and treats
you don’t like being in a group of like-minded individuals getting to know each other
if you aren’t willing or able to learn, to do some consciousness work to acquire some seriously profound spiritual life skills
"I have taught many workshops in Greece and a few in other places and I get asked why Greece? What's so great about Greece that you keep going back there? Simple: Mojo.
The Greeks don't have a word for intuition the same as we do. That's because it's so prevalent in their culture. I have had students tell locals that they were there for an intuition workshop and the locals immediately say "Oh yeah, energy, when you sense stuff, sure that makes sense." Versus back in North America where people are like "What? How do you learn that? What do you mean?" Their very history is soaked in mythology, tales of magic, transformation, and sexual escapades. And the land itself supports that: sexy, dreamy, nurturing, it feels like anything is possible there. This is about more than getting your groove back with some hot Greek guy, it's about getting your soul groove back for yourself, your deeper mojo in order to manifest whatever you dream up on this soul retreat." ~Kate
In between leisurely classes, go exploring in town for snacks, shopping, soaking up the culture. Or go hiking amongst sun-soaked pines, each breath sweet and earthy. Or see if you can try every beach the island has to offer before the end of your trip and decide which you love best. Rent a bike or be gloriously lazy and grab a cab with some fellow retreaters and new friends. Or curl up and read a book and journal at the hotel's nearest beach or your balcony and be lulled to sleep to the sound of waves.
You can't get more juicygorgeous than this! Kate is picky as hell about groovy energy and won't settle for anything less than pretty and peaceful. We will be visiting an island known for its 1000 beautiful views. It is considered an island of feminine energy, and one view of hills is called the sleeping lady because it looks like a lady on her side. Greek culture appreciates women, and this island even more so. Another reason to have a mojo retreat here specifically. But the point is, Kate will do all the leg work and prescreening to pick the best possible place with the right combination of factors so no more exhaustive researching and tedious legwork for you to plan a trip and no more traveling alone or with the whole fam in tow= actual relaxation and recharging for you.
Will it be warm in September? Yes, the average temperature there in September is in the 20s celsius in the day and drops to around 19C at night so bring a light sweater. (The ideal packing list will be emailed to you along with a ton of other helpful, take-the-stress-off-of-you information in the Welcome Package once you register.) The water will still be warm enough to swim in from the extreme heat it absorbed in the summer reaching highs of 45C frequently. So September will be pleasantly warm but not sweltering and the added benefit will be that it will be more quiet and peaceful as it is the end of the tourist season, August being its peak.
Everybody gets their own room, bathroom, and sea view* included in their retreat registration. Everything is arranged with your comfort and restoration in mind so all you have to do is get your fabulous hiney over there and Kate will meet you and get you settled in.
Imagine yourself overlooking the sea as the sun goes down with a light breeze coming off the water after a day of learning, sunshine, and lounging as you feel your inner juiciness go up day by day. The waiter arrives and the platters of food start going down one by one and you start eyeing your fellow workshoppers plates and think maybe you'll order that too; it all looks so good. Fresh fish cooked over charcoal, classic Greek salad with creamy feta, crispy golden calamari, savory moussaka, lacy and tart marouli salad, roasted lamb and potatoes, wine, and more. For dessert, some of you are talking about walking into town to get fresh loukoumades, the tempting doughnut-like balls covered in honey and cinnamon, others are holding out for flaky baklava from the nearby bakery.
The next day you decide you need a pick me up and everyone has been raving about the sinful triple-cream ice cream. How good could can it be? You try it and moan. This is a diet-killer but totally worth every. single. lick. What better after ice cream say the Greeks than a mid-afternoon coffee on the beach? Try the freddo cappuccino. It might sound Italian, heck maybe it is, who cares who invented it? Iced espresso over superfatted, super whipped milk-froth sitting like a cloud on your caffeinated mid-day heavenly respite. Jeez, how much weight are you going to gain? None. Because you will be walking and swimming all day long and burning more calories than at the gym and never even notice. Perfection.
The next morning you have to choose between creamy, real Greek yoghurt with honey and pistachios and a side dish of fresh fruit, or coffee along with a slice of lemon olive oil honey cake (it sounds weird but is yummy), or spanakopita and fresh squeezed orange juice, or maybe... so many things to choose!
Greeks love their food and it shows. Even a quick and cheap lunch of souvlaki is delicious and healthier than our standard fare. Eat meals leisurely and let food be thy medicine with the world renowned healing mediterranean cuisine.
This diet has something for everyone, and any dietary needs you have can be accommodated: vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, gluten/dairy/sugar free, severe allergies. Just be sure to tell Kate in the Travel Info form you will be sent after registration.

You came last year? Don’t worry Legacy Mojo Tripper (that’s what I’m calling you wonderful folk), this won’t be the exact same thing as last year and you will not be bored. Your favorite activities are back and new ones have been added. With the online program expanding, there will be more time for fun and relaxation. The adventures are also more mojorific. Also new online learning material, new places on the island you didn’t know existed, new make-your-own-adventure recommendations. Guaranteed you won’t be able to try out everything new on this trip!
Don’t feel like joining a particular adventure that day? Make your own adventure! Visit horses, go parasailing, go flirting, get a pedicure, go souvenir shopping, go inner tubing, find a Greek Night, visit the peaceful monastery, or go to the town’s nightclub, it’s up to you!
