A look back at 5 days beneath the stars of the Cyclades
A Retreat Remembered
In October 2025, a small group left behind the more hectic urban environment and bustling islands to spend some warm, sunny days with plenty of space to dream, reconnect with nature, creativity, and self — and to play.
Together, they took inspiration from the sky that guided our ancestors — a gathering beneath vivid night skies to reconnect with nature, creativity, and self.
"Look Up — It's Written in the Stars"
What the Retreat Included
From the panoramic terrace with curated ambient soundscapes beneath pristine Cycladic skies.
Morning sessions to ground and energise guests for the day ahead.
Sessions led by Eva Weaver — an embodied creative writing methodology.
A seasonal Paros tradition — hands in the earth, sun on your face.
Swimming under the stars and excursions to secluded beaches.
Meals using local produce, communally cooked or at a local taverna.
Product-making sessions to enhance the senses.
Peak solar activity in 2025 brought enhanced auroras, shooting stars, Orionids, and the Milky Way.
After Dark
Guests reclined on the Milos House terrace beneath the pristine Cycladic sky, accompanied by curated ambient soundscapes — designed to heighten stillness, openness, and awe.
One evening included an interactive sharing circle — a campfire-style moment of community and exchange where guests brought a story, song, or sound that meant something to them.
What they saw: shooting stars, Orionids, the Milky Way, meteor showers, satellites, and rare auroral activity.
A Day in Flow
Eva Weaver
Guests were guided through a treasure trove of embodied tools to spark unique creativity — whether seasoned writers, those interested in embodiment, or people who'd always wanted to start writing.
Eva Weaver is an author, writing coach, breathwork facilitator and sex coach, based in the UK. Her sessions helped guests unblock and find a more confident, embodied, unique voice.
What Guests Say
"Atop the hill at the very heart of the Aegean — magnificent sunsets. A perfect spot for sun worshippers and moon worshippers alike. If you need somewhere to re-charge and write your novel then this is ideal."
Simon"The magnificent, peaceful views towards the sea and the undulating outline of the other islands go a long way towards bringing the Greek myths to life."
Liza"Spending time at Milos House is wonderful. Pete is a role model of a host. The sunsets from the terrace are spectacular and it's such a fabulous venue to gather."
