About the space

Wherever I hold retreats or classes, but especially at our Venue in Crete, “The Secret Place”,

my vision is to host different types of events, all with the common purpose of

diving deeper into the inner dimension, inviting the true nature to emerge.

I like and resonate with a universal and simple approach,

that allows anyone to go closer to the Divine, however He is perceived or called.

My intention is to offer a safe and peaceful place for my guests to focus on raising

their own consciousness and bringing presence to their true essence.

Silence, conscious movement, yoga, meditation, prayers, contemplation, self-inquiry,

are beautiful and precious tools that allow us to go deeper

into the discovery of the Self and the journey of exploration of the Heart.

I like to collaborate with heart-minded souls that resonate with my intention.

When we come together we are able to create more beauty and to offer perhaps

deeper growth and different perspectives that can enrich both.

I pray this place may be a place of grace, warmth and depth for anyone who feels the call to join.

About me

Giorgia Sumayya

From an early age, I developed a deep interest in inner exploration, the wisdom of the body,

and the search for “truth”. This calling guided me first into the study of therapeutic bodywork, training as

a medical massage therapist, and later as a certified yoga teacher in Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin traditions.

I experience the body as both a gateway and a temple:

a vehicle through which we explore the world and a living bridge between the visible and the unseen.

It remembers, it speaks, it holds the wisdom we often overlook.

Through movement, stillness and breath, we can listen and find the subtle threads

that connect us to life itself and Divine-consciousness.

By integrating anatomical knowledge with spiritual awareness, my approach honors both physical integrity and inner depth. Meditation, devotion and self-inquiry remain at the heart of my path — within these spaces, I have found a continuous invitation to growth, a deepening into presence and a remembrance of our true nature.

In recent years, Islamic and Sufi teachings have knocked on the door of my heart, and have profoundly enriched my journey. This has broadened my perspective and allows me to hold respectful, aligned spaces

for people seeking yoga and meditation within an Islamic spiritual framework.

I am devoted to sharing what I continue to learn with those who cross my path,

creating spaces rooted in presence, self-exploration and beauty.

I offer now retreats, private and group yoga classes — both online and in person —

as well as bodywork and somatic treatments.

“A perfect break from the routine: yin and yang yoga suitable for those who already practice it but also for those who want to start, the “energetic” massages are my favourites, homemade food… sea, relaxation and time for just be… they complete the whole experience.”

Lorenza

"I have enthusiastically joined in the last three years the retreats she organized in Spain and Greece, where I found professionality.

In addition to the beautiful yoga lessons and the activities connected to them,

I appreciated the massages, the excellent cuisine and the locations chosen for carrying out the retreats. I also consider being in small groups to be an added value in this type of retreats."

Flavia

"After several retreats I can only say I have found a big heart, a lot of dedication and professionality, combined with a careful balance between the different activities.

All organized in beautiful corners hidden in nature and delicious food prepared with care. Perfect retreats to reconnect, recharge, relax and cuddle yourself.

Thank you!"

Micaela

"I participated in both retreats in Spain and Greece, magnificent places that helped me to detach from the everyday life, I was no longer aware of time.

By reconnecting with myself, I found mental and physical balance. The Yoga sessions are calibrated for every level, from beginner to routinier and this aspect makes the environment you are in very magical. Basically I achieved something without wanting to."

Thomas

"Rewarding experience both from a physical, mental and meditative point of view.

Right balance in matching

the various activities even for a novice like me.

A week accompanied by

excellent cuisine in line with

the spirit of the retreat and

the wonderful location."
