With Meraki

Lefkada, Greece
June 6th-13th, 2026

High on the cliffs of Lefkada, the With Meraki retreat is a week long experience woven with heart, soul and intention. Surrounded by endless blue water and mountains, this sanctuary offers you the space to move, breathe and simply be. In Greek, Meraki means to do something with love and devotion, and that spirit is at the heart of everything we share here, from deep practices on the mat to quiet moments in nature.

Location

Located between two stunning bays, this retreat center offers a serene setting where the Ionian Sea's endless beauty meets the bay of Vlicho. Just a five-minute walk from the beach, the center provides a tranquil environment ideal for movement and relaxation. The retreat features a glass-walled studio that allows for classes with panoramic views, and accommodations in modern villas designed with natural materials and local stone, each equipped with private swimming pools and terraces overlooking the sea.

Activities

We believe that meaningful growth often happens when we step beyond the familiar and immerse ourselves in the beauty of the unknown world around us. That’s why thoughtfully curated adventures are a core part of our retreat experiences. Each excursion is an invitation to connect more deeply; with nature, a new culture and the group of humans around you. While we encourage you to join every outing, we also honor your intuition. If a particular activity doesn’t resonate, you’re welcome to spend your time exactly as you wish.

Accomodations

The lodging at Lefkada Retreat is where simplicity meets elegance, in harmony with the natural surroundings. Nestled among olive trees and overlooking the sea, each space feels like a soft exhale. Minimalist design, natural textures, and earthy tones create a grounded sense of comfort. Whether you're relaxing on a private terrace, journaling under the trees, or falling asleep to the sound of distant waves, the retreat center feels like a home away from home.

Intuitive Astrology Readings

Megan combines several astrological timing techniques to help you understand the deeper meaning behind what you’re experiencing right now and into the immediate future. Rather than focusing on just one method, she weaves together tools like annual cycles, planetary movements, and major celestial events to uncover what your soul is currently being invited to learn. By seeing how different themes are being activated in your life, she can help you connect the dots, not only in the present moment but within the bigger picture of your journey. This approach offers both symbolic insight and practical guidance, helping you move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose. It’s not about predicting your future, it’s about understanding the deeper why behind what’s unfolding, so you can work with it, rather than against it.

About Kaylie

Kaylie's love of travel began as a young adult, when she moved to the Big Island of Hawai‘i to work on a coffee farm. Her original plan was to return to the East Coast after a year of island life to attend art school in NYC... but instead, she fell in love with seeing the world and followed the path of teaching yoga. Leading retreats has been her dream since she attended her first retreat with her yoga mentor in 2013. The chance to connect deeply with beautiful souls, witness growth, and watch each guest leave the retreat feeling lighter, peaceful and more at home in their body is what makes her heart happy.

Application Process

If you’re feeling the call to join us, trust your intuition that you are meant to be here! To create an intimate atmosphere, capacity is limited.

We ask guests to fill out an application so that we can be sure it’s the right fit for everyone. Spots are first-come, first-served.

All prices are per person, so if you’re attending with a friend or family member, please apply separately. If you would like to share a room with someone you know, please provide their name when you apply.

If you choose to join solo and want to share a room, you’ll be matched with another retreat guest(s).

If the retreat is sold out, you can still apply and your name will be added to the waitlist in the event that someone cancels their spot.

We offer scholarship spots on at least one retreat a year.
