Soma Retreat

Healing from Cancer Treatment

An invitation to Restore

We are delighted to offer you an opportunity to join us for a week-long restorative retreat on the island of Kea, Greece in September, 2026.  

This retreat is uniquely developed for women recovering from cancer treatment who are interested in exploring a hybrid model of Ayurvedic and Mediterranean medicine as paths to renewal. If you prefer a more active retreat, this is the week for you!  

Retreat will include ayurvedic consultation and body therapeutics, yoga and meditation–restorative practices, yet with a specific focus on  exploration of the external world, specifically the ancient paths and natural world on the island of Kea. We will intentionally place one foot in front of the other and explore this magnificent place and ourselves.
Our fundamental philosophy is that the human body has the ability to heal if provided with proper nourishment and rest. While healing may not always involve curing, it does involve joyful and grateful acceptance, as well as restoring our bodies and minds to their natural state of balance.

We weave together elements of Ayurvedic Medicine and Mediterranean Lifestyle Medicine in the philosophical paradigm of constitutional medicine and biocharacteristics, which embraces the concept that the best medicine is organized around your unique health. We have curated a week-long experience which will leave you feeling rested, nourished, strong, curious and inspired.

We are here to offer some of the tools which have helped us in our own journeys of recovery. We don’t have all the answers. We have  learned some skills and found small morsels of wisdom. We offer these teachings which we have graciously received as a gift for all who feel inspired and open to receiving.

Echoes of the Stay

Moments shared by those who found something within these walls.

S. W. R.

I feel very determined to put my own health and wellness before the intense demands of my life. Julia Brock is not only an MD, but she is an intuitive healer, and she and her team of healers helped me set up a plan for re-entry that puts my health and well-being ahead of everything else. 

W. G.

I feel much more grounded and calm in my body, as a result of Julia’s insightful and loving treatments.

Susan R.

I had mastectomy surgery 5 months ago, and had been feeling somewhat fragile and self-protective in my new body. The loving kindness and hands-on healing I experienced at this retreat helped me so much.

Alison M.

For starters, the location is mindblowing. It takes place on the gorgeous, ancient island of Kea, where wind and sea start to heal one’s soul as soon as you step off the ferry. Life slows down.

Ali M.

I just returned from a truly life-changing week at Anasa Soma. I participated in a healing retreat for women recovering from breast cancer. I did not know what exactly to expect from this week-long retreat, and I was completely blown away. The healing I experienced in this spectacular environment exceeded all of my expectations.
