AN ARTIST RESIDENCY FOR CREATIVES

In a season of change, ready to step away and come home to themselves.
 
September 15 to 20 · Northern Greece

​Northern Greece · September 2025

A sanctuary modeled on the original wellness centers of Ancient Greece

Set across a private 160-acre beachside wellness center, the space was not built for passing through. It was built for anchoring. Modeled on the Asclepieion — the sacred sanctuaries where Ancient Greeks journeyed not just for treatment, but for transformation.

This is an invitation for creatives, entrepreneurs, artists, writers, directors, and storytellers who want to rest, be immersed in nature, eat beautiful food, and reconnect with their own rhythm. There is no manufactured urgency here. Nothing is mandatory. Everything is available if you desire it.

The Week

What the days hold

IMG_8262_edited.jpg
Morning movement

Somatic work, pilates, and breathwork to anchor you in your body and ease you into the day at whatever pace feels right.

Inner work

Space to look inward without pressure. Space to let things shift. A therapist on standby and coaching sessions available.

Play and presence

Tango if we so please. The private beach. The pine forest. Sailing. Swimming. The slowness that lets you find yourself again.

The Table

Food, friendship, and the people around you

This cohort is intentionally curated to fifteen individuals. We gather around long tables, share Mediterranean meals, and find ourselves in the company of people who were strangers a week ago and feel like family by the time we leave.

​A small group of fifteen. An intentionally curated cohort.
People who show up as strangers and leave as something more.

From Zina

A letter from the host

Who needs the Met Gala. Cherish your inner goddess- god.jpg

I moved from Greece at seventeen to attend drama school. I went to NYU, threw myself into theater doing fourteen productions in a single year, then spent seven seasons on Showtime's Billions alongside Paul Giamatti and Damien Lewis.

 

Then came the strikes, the divorce, the spiral. I felt further from myself than I ever had. In my hardest moment, I returned to the water in Greece to find my answer.

 

There was a moment in the Aegean when I knew I had to bring people here. Not for a vacation. For a real reset. Something older and more whole.

 

Three years later, we have hosted retreats in Greece, Sicily, Paris, and now Japan. Every cohort confirms what I felt in that water: we are not meant to do this work alone.

What guests say

Words from past guests

— Sicily retreat guest

"If you're considering a retreat with EU Zina, book it. I first travelled to Sicily with Zina in March 2025 and it was one of the best decisions I've made. Zina seamlessly creates an experience where you feel well taken care of, connected to everyone on the trip, and totally relaxed. As a Type A person who prefers to plan my travel, it was such a relief to not have to worry about literally any detail once I arrived. The people I met on the trip are now friends for life, and I can't wait to join another retreat this summer."
