WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF “PLIADES RETREATS”?
The Pleiades is an asterism and an open star cluster in the constellation of Taurus. Its dawn marks the arrival of spring. Farmers and seafarers used it as a landmark for the beginning of sowing and sea travelling.
WHAT DOES “PLIADES RETREATS” STAND FOR?
In “Pliades retreats” we guide participants to a journey towards wellness. We created a cooperative that proposes unique experiences through activities such as plant-based workshops, lectures, individual naturopathy and massage sessions, production of plant-based nutritional products, yoga and brunch events, wellness retreats and production of educational material such as e-books and videos.
WHAT DO WE OFFER?
We offer life-changing experiences. Through a variety of proposed activities, participants can experiment in a safe environment an alternative/different way of life, experiencing the benefits of a plant-based non-refined diet, detoxing, moving, relaxing and being in contact with the four natural elements (air, earth, sea, sun).
WHO ARE THE SOULS OF “PLIADES RETREATS”?
This project is born from the association Alexandra and Lena. Alexandra is a plant-based chef and Lena is a naturopath specialized in plant-based diet. Each participant is taken care with responsibility, simplicity and honesty throughout this journey of new experiences and habits.

Lena Konstantinidi
Healthy lifestyle designer | naturopath
After spending 10 years working behind a computer screen, I decided to change my life. First step to wellbeing: healthy eating. Second step: starting naturopathy studies and a new profession opens up in the horizon.
Today I propose individual coaching sessions according to your own background, needs and desires in a safe environment.
My role at “Pliades retreats” is to design for you energizing meals, to share with you my tips for a simple, fresh and colorful cuisine, as well as my every day naturopathy tips to wellness.
If you need to relax I offer a palette of massages. Private naturopathy sessions are also possible to book during the week.
Looking forward to seeing you soon,
Lena
Alexandra Sarigianni
Raw Vegan Chef | Cooking Instructor | Yoga Teacher
I worked as a civil engineer when i discovered the raw food diet. In a couple of days I went 100% raw and my whole life changed: I quit my job and started making raw desserts and selling them all over Athens.
I also started a yoga teacher training and I became a yoga teacher. I found what I love and a way to express my self.
Today I am a qualified raw pastry chef, I teach raw food cooking in a vegan chef school and I make a lot of plant-based workshops.
My love for food, retreats, travelling, yoga and teaching is my motivation for co-founding Pliades retreats.
