What Where When How


a creative woman
making your dreams more real...
   

'"Detta, with her wonderful insight, warmth, humour and honesty
provides a soft place to fall on her Creative Dreams retreat.
If you've ever wished for the world to just stop for a moment
so that you can regroup, collect your thoughts and find out what
you need to make you happy -- this is the perfect opportunity.
Never in my life have I ever felt so encouraged to explore and
be just me. Not a daughter, not a friend, not a boss, just my true
self -- the one I always suspected was there but couldn't find alone.
The sense of freedom, personal power and self-belief that this
discovery has provided me with is priceless and continues on;
driving me toward a brighter tomorrow than I ever imagined possible.
Words simplycannot express how much Detta and her retreat
have
changed my lifefor the better. So if you are reading this and

contemplating whether this retreat is for you, I urge you to take a
leap
of faith and give ita try -- you have nothing to loose but
emotional
baggage and everything to gain!!"  (Detemined Dreamer June 08)

What is the accommodation like?  Our accomodation is in Katelios
which thankfully still remains an unspoilt village with several
tavernas lining the beach front.  Accommodation is low key basic
rooms, clean and airy and near the sea.  Further up the village there
are several pool bars with newer accommodation - so the choice is
yours.  There are no hotels in this village, night life is mainly centred
around the pool bars and tavernas - although in the next village there
are a couple of late night small disco's for night bod's ~ it is still
however pretty uncommercial....visit before it changes...it is starting to!
Sometimes it is cheaper to book a package and get a discount from us ~
before you book give us a ring & we'll do our best to get you a great deal.

Where is Kefalonia & Katelios in particular?  Kefalonia is the largest
Ionian Greek Island with a very small population!  It is just across from
Zkynthos and down from Corfu - it does not have the commercial
infrastructure of those islands so still remains blissfully rural with a
certain Greek charm - some say Cephalonians are mad but after a while
we all blend in nicely!!  Katelios is still a small fishing village on the
South Coast - gorgeous and peaceful but it is changing a bit.  A marina
is being build and new apartments are beginning to show their heads...
it is still lovely, friendly and laid back at the moment but don't leave it
too long before you visit.....

When are the Dare to Dream Retreats being held?  This year we are
holding just two.  The first is Tuesday 25th May and the second is
Tuesday 21st September for 6 days ~ (7th and last day is your own
to mope about or extend your holiday!!)  You can come before and start
on the Tues or come on the Tues and start that night.  You can also
extend your stay by another week ~ speak to us 0791 560 5961 before
you book.  We can also help with flights.

How does it all work? Our retreats are for 6 days starting on Tues.
Each day has a morning workshop ~ time out for lunch ~ free afternoon
and a gather together before dinner to see how your day has been and
share any insights or challenges.  It is a lovely time to have a glass of
some olives and get to know each other a little better before we head
off for dinner.  After dinner you can boogie at the local disco, wander
along the beach, listen to the sea, chill out at a taverna or do your own
thing ~ the choice is always yours.  During your stay a Greek Night is
planned which is always great fun, a Happy Days Island Tour (Detta
frequently has to stop the car she is laughing so much) which is full
day with lunch included, and there is also a gorgeous evening spent
on the beach either having a barbque or getting the local lads at the
giros bar to drop off salad & souvalaki - midnight swims are not unheard
of - neither are foot-rubs and massages provided by Detta!

During your stay you will also be recovering and rediscovering your
deepest dreams, your dearest wishes and your long held hopes.
You will get support from Detta and the rest of gang and come home
with some great ideas, a plan, rested and rejuiced ready to make
your dreams more real!
