PARENTS & TEEN RETREAT

A 5-day reconnection adventure for parents & teens

26- 30 October 2026

Reconnection, exploration and real conversation in the wild beauty of Crete.

THE RETREAT

Before they fly the nest, give them (and you) something to carry

The teenage years are brief. And somewhere inside the busyness, the devices, and the day-to-day, there’s an extraordinary human you’re still getting to know.

This retreat is a chance to step out of your usual roles, go on a proper adventure together, and create the kind of shared experience that shapes a relationship for life. Not a holiday where you half-switch off. Something real — exhilarating, funny, challenging, and deeply nourishing.

Over five days in the wild beauty of Crete, you’ll hike gorges, swim in waterfalls, move, reflect, and laugh together. You’ll discover sides of each other that everyday life rarely makes room for. And you’ll come home closer, clearer, and with memories that belong to both of you.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Adventure, growth & genuine connection

Our programme is carefully designed to work for both adults and young people: challenging enough to be exciting, spacious enough to let real things happen.

Nature & Adventure

Crete’s wild beauty and the island’s landscapes do something no workshop can: they wake people up, break down walls, and remind you what it feels like to be fully alive.

Sound Therapy

Rob’s immersive sound journeys using gongs, singing bowls and voice create a rare space for both parent and teen to slow down, let go, and arrive in the present moment, together.

Fitness & Movement

Energising sessions tailored to all ages and fitness levels. Movement is a great leveller: when you’re side by side doing something new, the usual roles quietly dissolve and something more interesting takes over.

Personal Growth Workshops

Using Ed’s MAGIC coaching method, these sessions help parents and teens explore who they are, what they value, and how they see each other, with honesty, humour and zero pressure.

Shared Experiences

Shared meals, evening conversations, and activities designed to deepen the bond between parent and child. You’ll leave with new language, new understanding, and a new baseline for your relationship.
