Amanda Trevelino | Host
A student of the Kripalu yoga lineage, I embrace all forms of yoga as personal inquiry, and I strive to create judgment-free environments for Self-Discovery. In 2016, I founded Santosha Studio to offer the community a collaborative sanctuary for meaningful practice with an emphasis on uplifting the sacred feminine. Conscious travel expands that vision, broadening explorations of Self — physically, mentally and spiritually — as well as building life-long connections. As Anaïs Nin teaches, “we don’t see the world as it is, we see it as we are.”
Amber Monson | Featured Presenter
Drawn towards the creative expressions of yoga, Amber believes that conscious movement, in any form, is a gateway to deeper connection with oneself and our divine joy. She weaves together 15 years of experience in aerial dance, yoga, personal training, and Pilates into a playfully empowering adventure.

“Our small-group, conscious travel takes us to a sacred land of mythological gods and goddesses. Over seven nights you'll meet an authentic community of like-minded, yogic mortals as well as mythic, feminine archetypes.
The island’s capital features picturesque alleyways, Amorgian boutiques and Cycladic architecture. The nearby Monastery of Hozoviotissa, is the second built church in Greece and one of the most popular national monasteries. The experience is magical, walking up 300 steps to reach the architectural wonder built in the high cliffs, overlooking deep blue waters.
A less visited sacred site, Agios Georgios Valsamitis, was a female monastery during the Byzantine era. A Holy Water spring and a cistern that brings water into the Temple, indicates that this is a place where an ancient water oracle pre-existed.
Time seems fluid here. There is no need to hurry. Days can be spent simply basking in the golden sunlight, lingering by the water, or allowing introspective time for yourself. This island has a way of bringing people back to themselves. Immerse in the Amorgean experience at your own pace.
Be An Explorer
In the coming months, we will introduce more conscious travel destinations. These are opportunities for self-discovery, applying the philosophy and ethics of yoga within a cultural exchange.

Because Santosha is required to book the resort property in advance, there is no cancellation option. All payments are final; however payments are transferrable to a friend or family member. Also. we do recommend travel insurance should something change that requires you to cancel.

Amorgos does not have an airport, rather it’s reached with daily ferries. Athens International Airport (ATH) is the most convenient to arrive. Ferries start from Athens port, Piraeus and dock at Katapola. Go to Ferryscanner to search the best ferry options.
