Welcome to New Earth Odysseys
Creative Retreats For People Who Want To Feel More Alive
Is there anything more beautiful and nourishing to the soul than being inspired by Art?
Whether it's tapping into our own genius, or standing in awe of someone else's amazing gifts, nothing animates the spirit quite like creativity. Imagination and ingenuity is what makes us human, and has been driving our evolution and progress since the beginning of time.
So for us, Art is not a luxury, it's Vital and Essential. It makes a significant difference in the quality of our lives.
New Earth Odysseys (NEO) was created to offer immersive artistic experiences, (often improvisational) with carefully curated music, movement, and other art forms. We create spaces that allow curious adults to rediscover and bring more inspiration, play, connection, aliveness, and creativity into everyday life.
All brought together by an exceptional team of artists who create the experience with you, not just for you.
NEO is Not a Festival. Nor a Traditional Retreat.
It's a Creative Experience in Between.
NEO was created by and for lovers of Art, passionate about creating and sharing moments of profound joy. Our movement is for genuine Creative Explorers who desire to live creatively and discover artistry that is unique and "off the beaten track".
Our retreats do not fit into a category — and that's the point.
Unlike Festivals where there is often too many options and very little collaboration, and unlike traditional retreats where there is only 1-2 artists and very little diversity, our gathering operates in the happy unnamed middle ground.
It all starts with the Team. NEO is an encounter between artists and participants in a carefully designed environment.
Our team of 8-10 artists stay together for the entire retreat, collaborate, improvise and co-create inspiring journeys together, from start to finish.
This makes NEO a playground for creatives who crave high quality collective experiences and want more depth and refinement in their holidays.
It's for intrepid travelers who would rather spend their precious time and money on creating, rather than consuming.
It's for those who enjoy subtlety and nuance in more intimate settings, and appreciate festivity but value peace and relaxation too.
That's why we limit our group size to only 40 individuals, Still festive and full, while maintaining a cozy, intimate atmosphere.
Come for the artists. Stay for the people. Leave with new inspiration...
40 curious people. 9 artists. 7 days. One Odyssey

Authentic Journeys For Creative Explorers
Who is NEO for? Curious people who are looking for new sources of inspiration.
The creative explorer is not necessarily a professional artist, but someone who
wants to live more creatively.
Generally, our guests tend to be mature and grounded. They don't necessarily want to “work on themselves”, not typically seeking healing or transformation, although they welcome it when it comes naturally.
What they wish for is:
Renewed inspiration
Creative energy
Meaningful friendships
Memorable experiences
Permission to play
Ideas to bring home
Feeling alive again
They don't just want to passively watch and receive performances and practices.
They want to actively participate in the creation process.
NEO is for people who:
are curious
value beauty
love great music
are creatively itchy
appreciate good people
enjoy depth without dogma
and prefer intimacy over crowds
For those who enjoy experimenting with new ways to enchant our lives and the world around us.
It's also:
Sophisticated yet inclusive
Premium yet not luxurious
Spiritual yet not esoteric
Artistic yet not elitist
Wild yet not chaotic
And no, our Odysseys are not for everyone. We don't follow trends and we don't chase big names. Popularity is not important to us and the very idea of "Main Stream" is anathema to art. But we do have a soft spot for kind-hearted creative rebels, perhaps like you?

OUR NEXT QUEST:
ABOUT US
NEW EARTH ODYSSEYS
Why New Earth? For us, the New Earth is grounded, authentic and mature, rooted in the experiential, physical world. Its such an overused word today, but the magic we create together is quite simple, ordinary and relatable. Unlike the New Age movement which is often a form of escapism, we seek to fully embody our experiences.
The New Earth is our vision for genuine and down to earth communities of creativity, built on shared values and fellowship. Yes, we see every gathering as an adventure of the spirit, however, it's not about spirituality.
It's a real, tangible hero's journey where you, as a participant, are the protagonist (Odysseus) in your own unfolding story.

Meet The People Who Come To NEO
This gathering feels like home. A safe place where the nervous system totally can relax and the body mind spirit get nourished from all the beautiful souls coming together playing, exploring and receiving beautiful teachings, tools and music. Everything feels mature, authentic and grounded. The food and the landscape is like a dream.
Felicia from Sweden
It was a last minute decision to join, but it felt extremely aligned and just what I needed at the time. The shared moments with the participants, the music, the freedom to just go at your own pace, the food, I can't really describe what it was, but it was a life changing event for me and am glad that I followed my gut feeling to join.
Irene from Holland
The Gathering is not just a retreat, it’s infinitely deeper... It’s about community, about organic technology of our body, a ritual for peace and unity. As art is the closest expression of life, creation and manifestation, being a part of this event helps us reconnect with the language of the source. Healing, releasing, transformation is a part of the journey, but the essence of what we share is about cultivating life together.
Michael from France
Though the gathering ended over a week ago, I am still tingling with excitement and joy from it.
Through all the play, singing, laughter, stories, music and dance I found healing and inspiration. Life feels so precious and sweet from this reminder of all that is possible.
Erika from USA
You know how it feels when all your parts come into place, all the riddles of your life finally make sense and the puzzle feels ready to hang on the wall? This feels like it.
Grateful for all the genuine healing connections with all the souls that were called together in this powerful place..
Sophia from Greece
Thank you for the love, care, intention and spirit you share though this gathering: again I m full of gratitude, respect and want to honour you, your work and capacity to gather talents, coordinate a team to be at the service of the participants, and not an ego-race. This is very rare. I feel the team was close, supportive of each other’s development, which is so great to see and feel!
Elise from France
This retreat was life-changing in that it created a safe held space for magic to happen inside the retreat and in my personal processes outside of the group. I loved the family reunion atmosphere, care between participants and non hierarchy between participants and facilitators. I uncovered core limiting beliefs I needed to change, found energy I didn't know I had and I met someone very special.
Cliona from England
I feel a swell of emotion as I begin to write these words that will never come close to expressing what I just lived for the last week in Corfu. Mostly I would like to share my gratitude. I have been moved, seen, heard, and touched down to the depths of my soul....and that usually before 9 am each morning! Only to happen again and again throughout the day through the music, the dance, the breathing, but mostly, of course, through the openness of our connections...
Sheila from USA
I love that I can make my own journey, that I feel safe enough to let go, that I am cared for in a thousand discreet and beautiful ways. There"s no guru, no "higher being" teaching us something : we do the joyful personal work alongside each other, at our own pace. Nothing to achieve.
Gaelle from France
I just got back from truly the most creative & magical gathering. I went to nourish myself and spend time in nature with like minded people accompanied by music. However I got so many gifts beyond what I could ever imagine! I was blown away by the creativity and generosity of everyone present there! Thank you Alexander and All in an organization team and artists for creating such an amazing gathering!
