Hecate's Tree — Aerial Retreat in Samothraki
Hecate's Tree, a unique 3-day aerial silks retreat in Samothrace (28–30 August 2026), organised by Step Up Dance Studio and aerial coach Vera Vasiliadou.
Samothrace is no coincidence as a choice. Sacred ground, raw nature, isolation from the noise of everyday life. An island that breathes differently and that is exactly what makes this retreat unique.
Samothraki as a Retreat Destination
Samothrace, UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, is renowned for its waterfalls, hiking trails and the atmosphere of the Sanctuary of the Great Gods. Here, far from mass tourism, time flows differently.
"You don't go to Samothraki just to learn aerial. You go to discover what your body can say when nature is listening."
