The Workshop
This 3- or 6-day Greek Easter led by Edward Pike in collaboration with local healer Ingrid Margarita in the sacred beauty of Cretan nature is a call to give yourself the space and time to stop, pause and to reconnect with your body, emotions, innocence, imagination and intuition and to discover the beauty and wisdom of the natural world around you, in order to find clarity for your life, creativity and healing. 
For the first three magic-filled days, assisted by a circle of kindred spirits, Edward will take you on a multi-dimensional Alignment journey. A dive into your body, emotions, mind and spirit; an exploration of consciousness, perception, creativity, spirituality and community.  A place to open, to feel, to ground, to explore, to choose, to shine - and to feel the joy and pleasure of your being.

A word from former participants'
I attended Edward’s workshop and had no idea what to expect. I loved the space, the music and the group. Edward's presence and guidance through movement felt nurturing, safe and freeing. I left feeling connected to my essence which feels sweet, wild and powerful.'  

'The retreat was wonderfully safe, creative and open. I was so grateful for such an inspiring space to explore and connect, dive deep, move and express what was in my heart and life at the moment. Thank you for providing the support and guidance, and so much love.'
“Ingrid opened my eyes to a new dimension in my life and the possibility of being able, on my own, to break the chains.”
“Ingrid has a way to facilitate that feels so 'home' and free. She has beautiful exercises to assist ones’ presence and awareness and to help see with new eyes.”

About Edward Pike
Alignment Mentor. Core Energetics student. Writer. Photographer. Dancer. Thriver. 

​Edward's 
purpose is to help and guide you to align your life with your authentic creative self. After growing up in both England and France and studying at the University of Bath, he completed the Personal Training certificate in 2010 and went on to work with over 200 clients. However he soon realised that the health and fitness industries were lacking a deeper approach that encouraged individuals to listen to their own intuition and to create lives that align with what they really want.
His Alignment sessions, workshops and retreats draw on his experience in the fields of health, movement, spirituality and personal development, supporting individuals to connect to their bodies, emotions and intuition in order to create healthier and more fulfilling lives. 

Since starting as an Alignment mentor in 2014 Edward has worked with over 150 people and he has collaborated on various events, workshops and retreats in Europe. He has written for publications including The Guardian and SALT Magazine, continue to write his own blog as well as for the Huffington Post, and he's currently working on his very own novel.
Edward Pike also the founder and main facilitator of a London-based charity called the Thrive Foundation, which supports people living with HIV to heal the mental and emotional wounds of their diagnosis. For more information about the work we do, click here.
