Who leads the week
Adrian Constantinescu
A week with Adrian: qi gong and breathwork in the morning, a sharing circle in the evening, plus individual Gene Keys or Human Design sessions. For years he has led groups to places where you come a step closer to yourself. At sea, a freedom of its own comes with it – it cannot be described, only experienced.
Since 2013 he has delivered over 550 courses and workshops, as well as 17 camps and journeys in different regions of the world. He combines modern methods with established practices for the development of consciousness that help you deal with emotions and stress.
Real development begins the moment we become capable of understanding ourselves.

Why a boat
A group that moves
No everyday life knocking at the door, and every evening the boat lies somewhere new.
Read more
A retreat on land is a house a group lives in. A boat is a group that moves. There is no evening entertainment and no everyday life knocking at the door. Whoever is on board is there for a week — that brings a group together faster than any intention.
The surroundings still change every day without anyone packing. Each evening the boat lies somewhere else.
In early May the coast is in bloom, the days are long and the bays are still empty. High season has not begun yet, and the summer Meltemi is not yet blowing.

The week
A week to arrive at yourself
Every day with Adrian: on deck in the morning, in the circle with the group in the evening.
Read more
Every day with Adrian: on deck in the morning, sometimes on the beach, in the evening in a circle with the group. Plus your individual sessions – time with him alone, for your questions.
How you can shape your day
The morning begins the way you feel it: wake your body and mind with a lap round the boat, watch the sunrise light up the day, paddle to the beach on a SUP or simply enjoy the peace and quiet on board as the day wakes up – you follow what feels right.
The group comes together for the qi gong session, followed by a generous breakfast. Later it is anchor up or lines off, and the boat glides across the water – pure freedom.
Lying in the sun, reading a book, watching the waves: you do exactly what you feel like.
By early afternoon the boat usually lies in a bay again. You swim or simply do nothing. Excursions ashore are expressly welcome, because there is usually something special to discover. You arrange them with Adrian; costs such as a hire car are yours.
When the sun stands low, the group comes together once more. You look back on the day and at what it has stirred in you. Then you eat together.

The boat
Room for the group and room for you
A Lagoon 50 with nets, a flybridge and always a place of your own.
Read more
Example of this type.
The boat planned is a Lagoon 50.
A catamaran of around fifty feet: saloon and cockpit lie on one level, the nets wait at the bow, and up top the flybridge has a view all round. So even in a group that shares a lot, you always find a place of your own.
On your own or shared
You share a cabin with another guest, always with a guest of the same gender. Who shares with whom, you decide together on the first evening on board. If you want the cabin to yourself for certain, you pay a supplement of EUR 900.
If the two of you come together, you book your cabin together and are sure to stay together.
The cabins, an example of this design: the 4 cabins at the ends of the hulls are the guest cabins.
The route
Saronic Gulf, out of Athens
-
Saturday
Boarding at Alimos Marina
You come aboard in the afternoon, then the briefing on the vessel and on safety. If there is time, the boat spends the first night already out off Aegina.
Read more: Sunday – Friday
-
Sunday
Aegina Town
Neoclassical façades along the harbour, pistachios in every form, and above the bay the lone column of the temple of Apollo. This close to Athens and already a holiday.
-
Monday
Poros
The town climbs the hill, and the bell tower at the top is the evening walk. Alongside the quay you lie in the middle of things — this is the evening ashore.
-
Tuesday
Hydra
No cars, only donkeys and stone stairs; the harbour a half-circle of captains' houses. The boat anchors outside, and you go in by dinghy.
-
Wednesday
Moni, off Perdika
An uninhabited island with peacocks and wild goats, the water glass-clear over pale ground. Opposite lies Perdika, whose tavernas serve the catch of the day.
-
Thursday
Agistri
Pines down to the water, turquoise bays, no traffic. A last swim at anchor before the way back on Friday.
-
Friday
Back to Athens
The way back in one piece; by the afternoon the boat lies at Alimos Marina again. The last evening on board belongs to the group.
Weather

Questions
What you may be asking yourself
- Will I get seasick?
- The boat sails only a few hours a day, in sheltered waters between the islands, and a catamaran hardly heels. If you are sensitive, stay on deck and look at the horizon; your body usually adjusts after a day or two. Tablets help if you take them before casting off. Seasickness can never be ruled out entirely.
- Which language is the week in?
- The sessions and the conversations on board are in English and Romanian.
- Who else is on board?
- 6 to 8 guests, booked alone or as a pair, plus Adrian, the hostess and Ruedi as captain. Retreat weeks of this kind are new — you are among the first.
- What if I have to cancel?
- The week is confirmed in writing as soon as 6 deposits have been received by the cut-off date of 15 March 2027. Until that confirmation you may withdraw at any time; your deposit is refunded less a handling fee of EUR 100. From the confirmation onwards, the boat and services are firmly booked; if you withdraw after that, you owe the full amount. Up to 3 days before departure you may name a replacement person; if they take over your place, the amount paid is refunded less a handling fee of EUR 100. If the group has not come together by the cut-off date, the week is cancelled and you get everything back without deduction.
- What should I bring?
- Little, and comfortable. Bed linen and towels are on board, and before departure you get a packing list and the rules on board.
- When is the right time to book my flight?
- Book your flight only once Ruedi confirms that the week is going ahead – by 15 March 2027 at the latest.
