A Sensory Journey to Presence
08I06 - 15I06I2025
Discover the magic of Crete
Our sensory tour is conducted in German
A journey for the senses - immerse yourself in the art of conscious enjoyment.
Listen to the sounds, feel your body, savour life.
In the stillness of the moment, a new depth of experience unfolds.
Pleasure is more than a moment - it is the willingness to really live.
Crete is located on the Egyptian-Celtic ley line and is therefore a place full of magic.
Experience the island with all your senses and let yourself be inspired
by the Cretan culture and the places of power.
The programme and itinerary of this trip is always tailored to the needs of the group.
Enjoyment is subjective and varies from person to person.
The basis for true enjoyment is the dedication to consciously experience the present moment.
That is why we slow down to savour this moment.
