Step into a space designed to nourish your soul, spark your creativity, and deepen your connection to self and others.
The En Kairos Women’s Advance is more than a retreat—it’s a powerful experience through awareness, acceptance, creative release, radiant self-expression and genuine connection.
Led by three passionate, innovative and experienced women, our Advances (our unique evolution of the traditional “retreat”) are immersive, original experiences that inspire personal growth, community, and transformation.
Our rich, holistic approach blends experiential, creative, and joyful activities —making personal growth transformative, and truly enjoyable.

Wholehearted Transformation for Women
Our Story
Three women—with distinct personalities and rich, diverse life experiences. Collectively, we’ve travelled the world, loved and lost, worked hard, played harder, dreamed boldly, and discovered deeply.
Our paths crossed En Kairos (in good time.)
There was a call—a quiet one at first.
A community of women, men, and groups with stories to tell, questions to explore, and laughter to share.
It whispered... then murmured... until it became a voice we could no longer ignore.
So we listened.
And from that call, we began crafting a space where people feel safe to come forth, connect with others, and grow into themselves—fully and freely.

Rebecca Raftis
I’ve always believed that happiness is not just a personal pursuit, but a shared experience—one that flourishes through meaningful relationships, creative expression, and a sense of purpose.
My work has always centered on people: helping them find clarity, confidence, and direction—both in life and in work.
As an engagement facilitator with deep experience in training, team development, and transformational learning across diverse industries, I’ve had the privilege of guiding individuals and teams through moments of insight, collaboration, and meaningful growth.
I create spaces where people feel genuinely safe to reflect, connect, and evolve—individually and together.
For me, it's about nurturing what already lives within us... and helping it shine.

"In Good Time" a short story
“In good time” was my grandmother’s response to my countless questions about when things would happen in my life. As a child, impatience filled my days, but over the years, I watched as life unfolded—its rhythm indifferent to my urgency yet always arriving right on time.
I once believed the “right moment” would appear like a luminous orb, shimmering above my head, accompanied by thunderous drumming and trumpets. But reality was far gentler. "In good time” found me instead in the quiet moments—the jasmine in full bloom, its fragrance carried by the warm dusk air, wrapping around me like an old friend.
My questions were answered not by signs in the sky, but through gratitude, presence, and love. The truth had always been within me. My right time had always been my own.
If your heart is moved by your jasmine, En Kairoς is here—a space for growth, transformation, and finding your right moment. Anna x
