THE DARINGLY SOFT WOMAN RETREAT: Kea Island, Greece
Learn how to restore joy and play in your life by healing your inner child and embracing strength in softness...in Greece!
October 26 - November 1, 2025
Are you looking for a change?
A shift?
A transformation?
Are you feeling stagnant?
Are you feeling over worked, burned out, and exhausted?
Craving deeper meaning or purpose?
Maybe you feel out of touch with yourself.
Out of touch with your divine feminine side.
Out of touch with creativity and that inner child who loves to play.
Out of touch with deep joy.
Women are living in a patriarchal society full of hustle culture, control, and masculine ideals that cut us off from the collective.
We are losing ourselves. Losing our softness. Losing our intuition. Losing our fluidity. Losing our creativity. Losing our ability to connect.
We believe that healing your inner child brings you closer to your true self. Closer to your feminine power.
You can be daringly soft.
You can find strength in tenderness.
You can find joy through play.
It’s time to welcome yourself back home.
Let us help you to let down your masculine shields and soften into your feminine strengths.
Hi! We are Bree and Dez, your guides on this transformational journey on retreat in Greece.
Not only have we led many retreats together, but we are deeply committed to meaningful transformations.
Here is a little more about us:
Bree Jenkins, LMFT (She/Her)
I help people return to their true nature by releasing inner mindsets and programming that have cut them off from joy. I use creative exercises to uncover emotional blockages and mental barriers that interfere with feminine intuition and vitality.
Dezryelle Arcieri, LMFT, 200YTT (She/Her)
I help people grieve, accept, and move through childhood trauma using somatic and body-based practices. We can’t change the past, but we can change the way it impacts you now and in the future.
Did you know that this is the 3rd time we are hosting The Daringly Soft Woman Retreat?
Yep! It’s so popular, we are doing it again!
Want to see what it was like?
We would love to invite you to become a Daringly Soft Woman at this retreat.
A 6-day immersive retreat in Greece, where you heal your inner child through play, unleash creative vitality, and bring you back to yourself.
Here is what we tackle in our holistic curriculum:
The Past: We uncover and process childhood wounds and/or challenging early life experiences.
The Present: We delve into societal pressures & roles that have cut you off from your true nature. We tap into creativity to release judgment and make space for deeper joy and freedom of expression.
Future: We work on creating an abundant mindset, practice showing up softer, learn ‘what is the story that is getting in your way?’, and create boundaries that protect your peace.
How do we do this?
Somatic practices, such as Yoga, Breath Work, Meditation, and Guided Visualizations.
Daily guided therapeutic workshops, including group discussion, journaling, inner child and parts work, and expressive arts.
Exploration and play on retreat in Greece, including a private boat tour around the island, tour of the ancient temple Karthaia, olive harvesting, and a cooking class of traditional Greek recipes.
We will be spending 6 days immersed in rest and present moment awareness.
No distractions from work or family or busyness.
Just you and a group of incredible women growing together.
This is how we are doing things differently….
We are RESTORING your joy through creative play.
We are UNLEASHING your sense of fulfillment and passion through somatic practices.
We are RETURNING you to your true nature through exploration (and some touring and cooking in Greece 😉).
We are WELCOMING you back home.
When you leave us we want you to feel as though you are a new person. As though a true transformation has happened.
That's what most of our past guests say….
Let's get into the big details…

FAQ
-
Women are NOT weak. Softness is NOT weak. BUT, the patriarchal society we live in tells us otherwise. We bend ourselves to fit into the dominant masculine culture. This has us feeling lost. This has us de-powering ourselves, because we are not being true to our nature. Women’s strength is in connection. Women’s strength is in intuition. Women’s strength is in their softness. A daringly soft woman is someone who has let go of their masculine shields and has found strength in their true feminine nature.
-
Inner child work is an approach to recognizing and healing emotional injuries and wounds that took place in early life. By using play and exploration with a ‘beginner’s mindset’ (discovering new things and viewing experiences with a fresh perspective), you can reparent your inner child and heal old wounds. We believe that once you learn to heal your inner child, you can reconnect to your divine feminine and become your truest self.
-
NOPE, our wellness retreats are NOT therapy and they are not a substitute for mental health counseling or any other healthcare service.
Our wellness retreats operate under a support model. When we work together in this way, we will be supporting you towards your specific and self-identified goals for wellbeing or self-improvement.
It’s important to note, that while we are also licensed therapists, our wellness retreats are NOT mental health counseling, nor are they considered a healthcare service, and should NOT be used as a substitute for any healthcare service.
If you require mental health support or any healthcare service, we will provide you with referrals for a healthcare provider.

We completely understand how intimidating it can be to travel alone to a foreign country as a woman. We want everyone to feel safe and comfortable, so we have built all of our retreats to be very hands-on. We pick everyone up directly from the airport so you do not have to find your way to the center on your own. We help ease anxiety by helping arrange everything beforehand, from packing lists to clear instructions on flight times to even scheduling calls with those who may need a bit more assurance. We plan to hold your hand every step of the way.
-
We have been so very lucky to have had incredible women attend our retreats. The women have come from all walks of life and all age groups, but have formed very deep and long lasting relationships. We believe this is because we all come together with the same purpose. We all want to heal and grow and experience transformation. With this being the guiding force leading women to our retreats, we find that everyone can connect, no matter their background.
-
Re·treat /rəˈtrēt/ - an act of moving back or withdrawing.
Retreating can be seen as a negative thing, but when it comes to doing deep exploration and inner child work, withdrawing from our busy world of distractions allows us to focus, to retreat into ourselves, without all of the outside noise.
You get 6 uninterrupted days of profound self-exploration at this retreat in Italy. This is something we rarely get at home. We believe that by giving ourselves the time and space to retreat we can unleash a transformation.
-
Each full day will include accessible yoga, meditation, and/or breath work that is designed to teach skills for soothing, guided workshops, and optional process groups to assist with integration of the material and curriculum you will be learning on the retreat, as well as free time to enjoy the grounds, connect with nature, engage in play, and seek adventure.
-
This retreat is for women, trans women, and femmes who want to explore their femininity and womanhood.
