Program
What is a 50-hour award-winning life program?
The Alchemist is a rare award-winning life program that provides you the opportunity to search for the root of your life problems and helps you gently find your path going ahead in life, using tools coming from Buddha. This program is conducted especially in micro-groups of up to six to 10 participants. It is the only 50-hour yoga retreat in the world that actively combines Buddhist meditation, with the active healing practice of yogic postures, understanding chakras, and learning chakra healing.
Every day, it helps participants understand the self and shed away layers of suffering pain and insecurity, resulting in what you know as the awakening of inner Buddha. Rated amongst the top yoga retreats in Greece. Awaken Inner Buddha Yoga tries and chooses the calmest and impeccable settings.
Who is it for
This is not a program for everyone. Every path requires a certain readiness for life experiences. A maturity to face the self. This program works beautifully for those who have known suffering, loss, pain, and insecurity, have been lost, and yet found themselves, in strength and belief that comes from within. One who is seeking answers and methods for reducing the suffering of the self. For those seeking meditation, this is rated the best yoga meditation retreat in Greece and Europe.
For all men and women, seeking a spiritual path, a meditation through which they can lead themselves into a safe space of strength, tranquility, and healing. For teachers and therapists, seeking to strengthen their meditation. Those seeking to understand spinal strengthening, back pain and more flexibility in their body, and aura healing. Seeking a no-nonsense logic-based spiritual path, that can help you get through every chaos in life. This is for you if you are seeking more than just a yoga holiday or tour.

Food
You will be served daily freshly cooked vegetarian and vegan meals included in the price. A big part of attaining any progress in the field of yoga is to understand and alter the how when and what you eat as food. The gut is your second mind and all diseases of the body start with the gut. At the alchemist retreat, Awaken Inner Buddha Yoga takes special care of your diet and your meals in accordance with the principles of Ayurveda that help you achieve better health and an active and focused mind. Ayurveda explains the principle of digestive fire and its optimization during the day.
In alignment with these principles, they serve meals only twice a day - which ensures optimum digestion of food, proper absorption, and rebalancing of the inner functioning of the body. Modern science has labeled this wisdom as intermittent fasting and come to the conclusion that it is super healthy for the body. An expert chef leads the food aspect of the program - with a prior experience in Ayurveda principles and preparing fresh vegetarian meals to aid the yogic process of working on mind and body. No kinds of coffee, tea, sugar, drugs, smoking, or alcohol are allowed on the premises during the retreat.
They invite expert chefs who have experience of working on retreats with the master and understand the demand for simple, nutrient-rich food that aligns with the basic principles of Ayurveda.
