Know Thyself

"There are two levels to knowing yourself," explains Eckhart. "The first level involves self-observation and recognizing your own egoic patterns. But at a deeper level, to know yourself is to be yourself."

Bringing us together in one of the birthplaces of human inquiry and inner investigation, Eckhart and Kim will lead us in a journey of self-illumination and discovery intended to help us realize and express who and what we are at the deepest level.

Join Eckhart and Kim Eng to experience six days of in-depth teaching sessions, practical Q&A, community immersion, stillness in nature, and much more—all amidst the pristine beauty of Greece's west coast.

The Westin Resort Costa Navarino is situated in the Navarino Dunes area of Messinia on the Peloponnese peninsula of Greece, offering one of the most stunning scenic landscapes of the Mediterranean. Largely untouched by tourism, Costa Navarino harbors cultural values, traditions, and a history of more than 4,500 years.

The Westin Resort in Costa Navarino rests on a breathtaking stretch of sandy beach along the coast of the Ionian Sea—and is within driving distance of UNESCO World Heritage List sites including famous Olympia, Mystras, and the Temple of Apollo Epicurius, as well as Ancient Messene and the Palace of Nestor.

The Westin Resort Costa Navarino is a beautiful remote resort and is the only local accommodation option for retreat attendees. Retreat participants should stay onsite at The Westin Resort Costa Navarino as registration with the hotel is required to enter the secure, private grounds. Staying onsite also allows you to participate with the community and immerse yourself in the retreat experience.

A special lodging package including three delicious daily meals will be offered starting at the following discounted rates:

• $287 Euros per night (approximately $321 USD) for a single room
• $374 Euros per night (approximately $418 USD) for a double room

Our room block at the Westin is nearly sold out. If you are unable to book a room online, please email events@costanavarino.com, and they can help you get a room at the regular hotel rates. Registering for the retreat does not guarantee that a room will be held for you. Once the rooms in our special retreat block sell out, your only option will be to book a standard room through The Westin Resort Costa Navarino website at the available room rate and will only include breakfast.

For those who would like to find a roommate, please visit the Meetup forum.

Lodging costs are paid separately to The Westin and are not included in your  retreat tuition. Our special group lodging rate will only be available until July 22, 2018 pending the availability of rooms and will require a two-night deposit. After that date, rooms can be booked at the current hotel rates based on availability. Please be sure to review the room cancellation penalties at the time of booking.

Your room lodging rate includes three daily meals for retreat participants beginning on Saturday evening, September 22, and ending with lunch on Thursday, September 27.

Breakfast and lunch will be offered as a private buffet for retreat participants. For dinner, you will have the option to join other participants at the buffet or use a meal credit at one of the many wonderful restaurants The Westin has to offer. Gluten-free and vegetarian options will be available.
