“Dive In Well” experience in Amorgos

When:

May 29 – June 3, 2026

The Story Behind

Through the assai community we have created — with our aim being the holistic development of women — we invite all women to let go of roles and guilt, to release their inner strength beyond their external appearance. We believe this is our way of making our world a better place!

So, we designed this experiential journey on the beloved island of the endless blue of the Cyclades, Amorgos, titled “Dive In Well”, because … we will literally and metaphorically dive into the experience of connecting with ourselves. We didn’t want just another getaway trip with yoga and complex inner processes — but a journey that brings us in contact with nature, with the element of water and with the earth, reminding us what it feels like to live in harmony — without the thought of daily survival, without complexity. With quietude and a full heart.

What You Will Experience

Day 1 — May 29

After settling into our rooms right on the magical Levrossos beach, we will meet at the entrance — right on the sand! We will connect, get to know each other, drink our first “psimeni” (Amorgian raki roasted with herbs and honey), swim, relax, and at the magic of the colors of the first sunset, we will have our first energy meditation. We will thank all the forces that brought us to this island and welcome the ones that will lead us on our next paths.

We can plan together to eat right above our beach at a traditional tavern with the funniest and most unique twins you’ve ever met — or continue as we each decide.

Dress code for Day 1: Swimsuit & barefoot.

Day 2 — May 30

We start with a dawn meditation (remember — just outside your room door … on the sand of Levrossos!), followed by free time for breakfast and swimming. Once ready, we all walk together along the coastal path and arrive in Aegiali for our first diving experience! With the precious advice and knowledge of Dimitris and his team (a certified scuba & freediving center in Amorgos), we complete our training in the diving center’s pool, suit up, take our fins and masks — and dive! Our first scuba diving experience will take place at Aegiali beach, to about 6 meters deep.

After this first dive experience, we can continue with a swim or a stroll in Aegiali, or do whatever each of us wishes.

Dress code for Day 2: Swimsuit, barefoot, and diving gear!

Day 3 — May 31

We begin again with our now-habitual sunrise meditation. After breakfast, we head to the mountains!

We start our first hiking trail, with guide Dimitris Synodinos, from the shore to the picturesque village of Lagkada. There we can stop for coffee, enjoy traditional sweets, visit Eleni and Vangelis at their lovely shop with local herbs, oils and pure organic essentials — and if we’re lucky, meet locals to play “balles”, the ancient Greek ball game once favored by Hippocrates!

From Lagkada, we continue the trail to the lively village of Tholaria. After walking through its narrow streets with whitewashed houses, we rest and eat at the traditional café “Kalí Kardiá” on the square of the Saints Anargyroi church — before the trail back from Tholaria to Aegiali.

Dress code for Day 3: Athletic shoes, a backpack, hat, and sunscreen.

Day 4 — June 1

Our morning meditation on the beach grounds us for the next extraordinary experience: diving at 10 meters deep! It will be, as described, the most precious 50 minutes of your life! Where the noise stops, you hear nothing but your breath and the sound of the sea bed; where you see new shapes, colors, plants, and creatures; where for those 50 minutes you’re disconnected from everything — connected only with yourself and the magical, mystical underwater world!

And where will all this happen? At Nikouria, the little islet opposite Amorgos, where we will reach by RIB boats and dive like female Jacques Cousteaus — backwards from the boat!

At the end of the day, we will celebrate with raki, roasted treats, traditional food and dancing — because we will have earned our first scuba diving certificate!

Dress code for Day 4: Swimsuit, barefoot, and diving gear!

Day 5 — June 2

After dawn meditation, we depart for Agia Anna and the Hozoviotissa Monastery. This visit will be a unique experience — as the monastery is perched on the rock and reached by 400 carved steps! Once we’ve finished the visit, we will take the trail back through the mountains to Aegiali. The walk from Hozoviotissa Monastery back to Aegiali takes about 4 hours, and the views are worth every step.
