Maybe what you’re craving isn’t simply a vacation.

Maybe it’s the chance to reconnect with the parts of yourself that get quieter in everyday life. The parts that light you up, spark your curiosity and bring you joy.

Imagine waking up surrounded by breathtaking beauty, with an entire week ahead of you to move, create, explore, connect and follow your curiosity. To experience the magic of the island and see what unfolds when you have the space to step outside your usual rhythms.

Soul Expansion is an invitation to experience more of what makes you feel alive.

More beauty. More creativity. More connection. More rest. More play.

For one unforgettable week on Amorgos, we’ll immerse ourselves in it all and return home with a little more perspective, a little more possibility, and perhaps a wider sense of what we want to make room for next.

We’ve been here before

This will be sisters Sonja + Sasha’s fifth retreat together on Amorgos, a place they’ve returned to again and again for its wild beauty, welcoming spirit and unmistakable magic.

This time, Catherine Graf, founder of The Studio Healdsburg and creator of Movement Ritual, joins them in bringing together movement, creativity, self-inquiry and exploration. Each of us brings something different to the experience, with a shared belief in the power of stepping outside the familiar, following your curiosity and making space for what comes next.

Together, in one of our favorite places on earth, we’re creating a week designed to leave you feeling inspired, expanded and deeply connected to the experience of being there.

Your Hosts

Sasha Lyth

Sasha is a fine artist, creative guide, and Live Event Painter who has spent more than 20 years exploring the transformative power of art. Her work moves across painting, cyanotype, natural pigments, and mixed media, and her teaching has taken her from classrooms and community projects to workshops and retreats. She believes that intentional creative practice can quiet the noise, open our intuition, and reconnect us with the parts of ourselves that are often overlooked.

On this retreat, Sasha will invite you to explore your own creative spirit through intuitive art-making, guided painting experiences, and opportunities to paint outdoors in the landscapes and villages of Amorgos. No art experience is necessary, just curiosity and a willingness to follow what feels natural. Her hope is that through the simple act of making, noticing, and being present, you leave feeling creatively awakened, deeply connected, and a little more at home in yourself.

Sonja Lyth

Sonja is a Pilates instructor, integrative health coach, and founder of SolShine Pilates & Wellness. For more than 20 years, she has been helping people build strength, move with greater ease, and feel at home in their bodies through her holistic approach to movement and wellness.

She hosted her first retreat in Greece 10 years ago, alongside her sister, Sasha, and has since curated multiple retreats around the world. Amorgos continues to hold a special place in her heart. There is something about the island - the energy, natural beauty, simplicity, and deep sense of peace - that invites you to slow down, open up, and feel fully alive. On this retreat, Sonja hopes to create space for movement, adventure, rest, connection, and plenty of joy, while sharing a place that has meant so much to her over the past decade.

Catherine Graf

Catherine is the founder + owner of The Studio, a Pilates instructor and the creator of Movement Ritual, an evolving body of work exploring the intersection of movement, astrology and self-inquiry. For nearly two decades, she has created spaces where people can build strength, cultivate presence, and reconnect with themselves through movement and meaningful community.

On this retreat, Catherine will weave together many of the practices that have shaped her own journey, inviting guests to explore what comes naturally, what may be calling them forward, and what becomes possible when we create more range in how we move through our lives. Her hope is that every guest leaves with a renewed sense of ease, clarity, and connection.

The Location

Amorgos ​ is a remarkably unspoiled island at the Southeastern edge of the Cyclades group, where traditional customs are still inextricably interwoven into a landscape as rich in beauty as its history and culture.

It is known for its serene energy, crystal-clear waters, and timeless white-washed villages. From the hotel’s terraces, you’ll watch light shift across the sea. From nearby paths, you’ll find ancient ruins, quiet beaches, and dramatic, wild terrain.

For seven nights, we’ll make our home at the 5-star Aegialis Hotel & Spa, perched above the sea with sweeping views of the island and surrounding water. Spa access, sea views, and nourishing meals are all part of the experience.

The Experience

    Wander whitewashed villages, hike ancient paths, swim in crystalline water and experience the culture and natural beauty that make Amorgos so unforgettable.

  • CREATE

  • MOVE
