Paros Song & Soul
A Week of Singing, Creativity & Connection
Paros, Greece
25th September - 2nd October 2026
Imagine a week where your voice softens open, your creativity wakes up, and connection feels easy, all surrounded by sunshine, warm seas and a circle of like-minded people.
Join me on the beautiful island of Paros for this very special holiday. Our peaceful venue, on the edge of New Golden Beach, will be our home as we explore our voices, creativity and the joys of spending time with a community of people who are willing to be real, open, creative and tender together.
This holiday is more than just sunshine and songs, it’s a gently held journey into the voice, the body, the heart, and the quiet spaciousness we rarely give ourselves.
Alongside this inner work is the outer magic, all held inside a gentle framework that invites depth, creativity and shared presence:
-
Long warm afternoons to write, wander, rest or create
-
Nourishing meals and shared space that feels like the community we all wish we had
-
Gentle invitations into connection, without pressure
-
A group who value depth, honesty, spaciousness and beauty
-
Evenings of laughter, softness, shared music, or quiet reflection
The downtime isn’t just 'free hours', it’s part of the experience. A space where inspiration can rise, where conversations unfold naturally, where songs are written under the open sky, and where genuine connection becomes easy.
Join me if you’re longing for more than sunshine and songs
What Makes this Week Special
A deeper way of working with the voice
We will explore the voice not as something to perfect, but as a living instrument: emotional, intuitive, expressive and wise. The week will guide you toward more vocal freedom, ease and authenticity.
A creative reset
The holiday will be very spacious, with afternoons for writing, wandering, dreaming, resting, swimming, or letting new songs arrive. The downtime is part of the experience, not a break from it.
Connection that feels like community
Shared meals, gentle evenings, open-hearted conversation and spontaneous music-making. A group intentionally gathered, so everyone feels held and seen.
A holiday with depth
Yes, there’s sunshine, good food and gorgeous surroundings, but the true gift is how you’ll feel by the end: grounded, inspired, connected and creatively alive.
Who is this Holiday For?
This holiday is for you if you’re longing for:
-
A deeper and more authentic relationship with your voice
-
Space to explore your creativity without pressure
-
Connection with a group of like-minded and open-hearted people
-
Time to rest, breathe and wander
-
A holiday that nourishes you both inside and out
-
A week held with intention, warmth and safety
If you feel something inside you whisper 'yes'… you’re the right person.
A Typical Day
Mornings will start with gentle Hatha Yoga and breakfast before we join together for singing and vocal exploration.
Afternoons will be spacious, with time for rest, swims, wandering, journaling, songwriting, island adventures, singing together or simply being. For those who would like it, there will be daily, themed creativity guidance to use during this time.
Evenings will be soft, spontaneous and playful with shared food, open conversation, or casual music-making.
The main vocal session will be in the morning but we will also get together each day, either before or after dinner, for singing, food blessings, song ceremonies, song sharing, yoga Nidras and sharing circles.
Everything is optional. This is your holiday, so the invitation is for you to follow what feels good for you.
The Venue
Paros Philoxenia is a beautiful, quiet family run hotel right on New Golden Beach in the South East of the island.
With its relaxed atmosphere and uninterrupted views of the Aegean Sea, it offers an ideal setting for rest and reconnection. The hotel is perfectly positioned between the traditional fishing villages of Drios, Logaras, and Piso Livadi, and looks out across the water to the islands of Naxos, Iraklia, and Ios.
Accommodation includes single, twin, and double en-suite rooms, each with a private balcony or terrace, air conditioning and a refrigerator. The hotel also has a swimming pool and restaurant serving delicious local food.
The meals at the hotel are typically Greek and everything is made with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, including their own olive oil. All food will be vegetarian and the kitchen are happy to cater for vegan, diary-free and gluten-free diets with notice.
Paros is accessible by ferry or internal flight from mainland Greece, with regular connections from Athens and other major ports.

Your Host
For over a decade, I’ve worked with thousands of people to open, heal and free their voices. My path has been shaped by emotional voice work, creativity, community-building, and the profound understanding that our voice is a living instrument, a teacher in its own right.
My deepest joy is creating safe, soulful spaces where people can feel seen, supported, expressive and real.
Paros Song & Soul is an offering from my heart: a week to rest, create, connect and open your voice in the gentle beauty of the Aegean.
