Spiritual retreat in Crete
May 13 to 23, 2025
This spiritual retreat will be international and multilingual! Belgians, French, Brazilians, and who knows what other nationalities... we'll all be working for the new Earth, beyond borders. We will be working in French, English and Portuguese, with specific times for each language group as well as times when the whole group will be working together.
This year, our spiritual retreat will take place against a backdrop of history and tradition, culture and nature, the joys of eating and sharing. Whether you plunge into the sea or antiquity, whether you run along steep paths or festive terraces, the island of Crete generously offers all its riches. We're staying near Chania, with its very Venetian charm and slight oriental touches.
Disconnect to find yourself...
It's easy to get lost in the turmoil of daily life without keeping an eye on the red thread of our emotions. Yet our emotions hold the answers to our torments. They ingeniously point out our limited beliefs, which are the result of defense mechanisms based on childhood suffering.
Thanks to Marianne's keen eye, you'll be guided towards an understanding of the meaning of everything you experience and feel, and towards a state of life better aligned with your deepest aspirations. In addition, Olivier Maheux-Guay's psychosomatic exercises every morning will help you feel and release your emotions in the body.
A spiritual retreat avec Marianne Hubert means putting everything we feel back at the center of our daily lives, and experiencing the intense joy and happiness that come from understanding oneself.
What to expect
Concrètement
Our stay is half-board (breakfast and lunch included). We start our day (after breakfast) with Olivier Maheux-Guay's somatic exercises who joins us from Montréal - Québec. Take advantage of a moment of deep connection with your body and the emotions housed within it, enhancing the inner work that follows.
“Unexpressed emotions create a lasting imprint.”
Any major trauma or emotion has an impact on the autonomic nervous system. We can plunge into a state of flight, fight or freeze that doesn't fade with time unless experienced and externalized. This state of hypervigilance can last for decades, making us particularly reactive. The body records different life experiences and the emotions associated with them. Unresolved traumas then leave their mark on the physical body.
Somatic exercises aim first and foremost to develop a sense of benevolence, self-love and inner safety, using tools that combine the body with emotions. Exercises in breathing, grounding, balancing and letting go will be used to create fertile ground for somatization, the physical and sensory exteriorization of emotions.
Moving from child consciousness to our divine Self
Mornings are devoted to deep work with Marianne Hubert. We start our meetings with a meditation, then share our current emotional states. At the heart of our work are the emotions we feel in our interactions with others and in everyday situations. Everything we experience is used to deepen our self-knowledge and discover more about our child consciousness...
Childhood is the catalyst of our greatest treasures, but also of our greatest suffering. As children, everything has an impact, and in the face of this suffering, we put in place strategies to overcome the pain, anguish and insecurity we feel. In so doing, we freeze behaviors associated with a certain field of consciousness, that of the children in us.
These childish defense mechanisms, though they may have saved our lives, soon become obsolete and a regrettable hindrance to our discernment. True discernment can only come from a certain emotional maturity, which stems directly from self-identification. If you believe that your infantile mechanisms are who you are, and therefore identify with this child consciousness, it will be impossible for you to lead your life from the consciousness of the adult within you. Yet, to access your divine perspective, firm identification with the adult is essential. As part of the process of personal evolution, it is therefore of primary importance to be aware of which part of you you identify with and understand what belongs to the child or adult field of consciousness.
During this retreat, we'll learn how to identify, through ordinary everyday situations that group living brings, our child consciousness and the way it blinds us to the reality of situations we are dealing with. This learning process will enable you to go back home with all the tools you need to drastically change your relationship with yourself, others and the world.
After lunch at our hotel, afternoons are free to indulge in the intense pleasure offered by the magnificent island of Crete and our home base. Swimming, beach, hiking, visits to museums and archaeological sites, etc. In short, the island abounds in footpaths with breathtaking views, more or less frequented beaches and charming little corners to discover ... Everyone is invited to enjoy them freely and abundantly! In the evening, we gather for a delicious dinner in one of the local restaurants.
Some options are Chania - Agios Nikolaos - Rethymnon - Spinalonga - Rouvas gorge - Moni Arkadi monastery - Samaria gorge - Elafonissi
Channeling and Q&A
On Sunday May 18, Marianne will channel the Guide live. The messages channeled during our travels always address the group specifically. They accompany our inner work and enhance our personal and collective growth.
Our hotel - Areti, near Chania
We are staying at Areti, in Kalyves near Chania, which is an apartment hotel. We already staid there in 2014. At the foot of the mountains, overlooking the sea and the magnificent Cretan landscape, this simple but charming hotel has all the facilities you need for relaxation and intimacy. The breakfast is divine, the pool impressive and the staff adorable. You can share a flat with another guest, or enjoy a single flat for a small additional fee.
Suggested excursion
Knossos
The archaeological site of Knossos dates back to the Bronze Age. It is the most important of the Cretan Minoan palaces. Associated with the legend of King Minos' palace and the labyrinth in which the Minotaur wandered, it has been inhabited since the 8th millennium BC.
We also visit Heraklion's archaeological museum, which houses a representative collection of Crete's history, from the Neolithic to Roman times.

About Marianne Hubert
À propos de Marianne
During her childhood, Marianne Hubert had several near-death experiences that opened her to another reality, that of our life beyond the material. She embarked on a frantic search for spirituality and psychology in an attempt to recapture the state of existence made of love, total joy and unlimited consciousness that she experienced on the other side of the veil, without success. Frustrated, she gave up on her spiritual quest and settled for what she thought would be merely material life. She met the Pathwork lectures which reflected the schooling she received during her NDE's. By observing her frustrations, confusions and other negative emotions, she freed her her subconscious conscious and gradually released her own divine source and that wonderful state of being that had always been present underneath.
She created "Le Troisième Pôle" self-work method to help others discover the limiting beliefs nestled in their subconscious through lectures, online trainings, workshops and travel.
She is the author of the card game,"le Divin au quotidien " and the book, " Accueillons notre imperfection".
With love, humour, insight and unshakeable faith in the unlimited potential of human beings, she has been accompanying those who feel that there must be a larger state of consciousness and want to access it for over thirty years.
