Embodied Peace & Conflict Mastery Immersion
Hosted by Eva Dalak
World-renowned Peace & Conflict Expert and Spiritual Psychologist
Zen Rocks, Mani, Greece | May 22nd-29th, 2026
Our Invitation to YOU.
Peace is not the absence of conflict. The question for today’s facilitators, coaches, and leaders is no longer how to avoid the chaos, disagreement, trauma, and friction, but how to develop the capacity to stay grounded within it.
The Embodied Peace & Conflict Mastery Retreat is a 7-day advanced immersion at Zen Rock Mani designed for practitioners who are ready to move beyond resilience and into true conflict mastery.
We are developing skills to stay embodied in conflict, as we learn to work with it rather than avoid it. Through live relational dynamics, demos, feminine and nature-based practices, and somatic movement, we develop the tools and the ability to hold space as leaders.
This retreat is for those called to lead in times of tension and change.
