KARUNA DILBERO

The 1st Elysia Yoga Convention was the idea of Mat Turner as a way to generate business for Aegealis Hotel + Spa during the slow season. He gathered advanced and inspired Yogis, Sound Healers, Body Workers, Ayurvedic Practitioners, Aromatherapists, Artists and Healers to offer their passions, talents and gifts, and their vast knowledge on their chosen subject. The result was 5 days of back to back classes, workshops and lectures!

Everything was so perfect from the moment we arrived! We were welcomed when we arrived with a traditional glass of rake, local home made herbal wine! Then shown to our beautiful rooms over looking the bay!

Each day is scheduled with different classes for the beginning to the advanced student to choose from! 
Just when you think you can’t take in any more information, an excursion is perfectly timed to visit local villages, beaches and countryside, as well as a tour of the island and to the famous monastery overlooking the blue sea you can imagine. It’s so beautiful it’s where the move Big Blue was filmed!

After we visited the monastery we went to a small chapel that has be lovingly restored by Sister Irini, who told us how she hand painted the old icons in the chapel to their bright and shining right today! It’s also houses Apollo’s Oracle!

The evenings were relaxed with buffet style dinners, eaten among new friends from all over the world! There is a taste to satisfy every palate from vegan to meat eaters.

The hotel owners, played live Greek music for us as we danced and tried to sing along! The family owned hotel, felt like home and the owners treated us so lovingly!

The week ended with a spectacular fireworks display which was a total surprise and an evening of chanting kirtan into the wee hours of the night!

I’m so excited to return for year 2! Karuna DiLibero, AHC, E-RYT, YACEP 1st & 2nd year presenter www.karunadilibero.com
