SHEVET (Tribe in Hebrew) was born from the meeting of two life journeys.
Ada comes from the world of leadership and organizational transformation, where she spent many years guiding people and companies toward more human and conscious ways of working.
Ada's Story
Achy’s path began in bodywork and healing, moved through business and entrepreneurship, and eventually returned to the world of personal growth, workshops, and deep human connection.
Achy's Story
When their paths crossed, something felt immediately clear. Both had been walking long inner journeys, gathering experience, wisdom, and questions along the way.
SHEVET grew from the shared wish to create a living space where people can slow down, meet themselves and others honestly, and explore life with more presence, truth, and connection.You are warmly invited to come and experience what unfolds here.
The people behind SHEVET
When two people from different cultures, languages, and places meet with the same vision, something unique is born...
Location
SHEVET is located at the edge of a small village in northwestern Crete, west of Chania - a quiet and simple area where the landscape is open and the pace is natural.
The property is approximately 30 minutes from Chania and about 45 minutes from Chania International Airport.
Access is convenient, yet the feeling is one of space and distance from the noise.
The nearby towns of Kolymbari and Kissamos are just 7–10 minutes away and offer local tavernas, restaurants, beaches, shops, and supermarkets - everything you may need, without compromising the sense of calm.
Beautiful beaches can be reached within 10–20 minutes by car.
SHEVET is surrounded by green mountains and the open sea. In the cooler seasons, the nearby mountains are covered in snow - a view that adds depth and quiet to the changing landscape.
Nature here is not merely a backdrop, it is part of the process.

Facilities
The main house:
The heart of SHEVET is the main house.
A spacious living room with a lounging platform and a wood-burning fireplace for the cooler winter days, a large and functional kitchen, and a covered outdoor area with a wide dining table and seating corner overlooking the landscape.
This is where gatherings take place - shared meals, conversations, and meaningful encounters.
At the front of the house, a large veranda, partially enclosed and covered for the winter months, opens toward the mountains and the sea.
At the back, a green garden wrapped in grapevines offers organic, sweet grapes during the summer season.
The pool area:
Adjacent to the house is the pool area, featuring a wide shaded pergola, a large saltwater pool (purified with salt rather than chlorine), and a small bar facing the pergola and the water.
Built into the pool is a long seating bench overlooking the view, with jacuzzi jets.
The pool is shaded during the hotter hours, allowing comfortable use even on warm summer days.
Activity area:
A staircase leads to the White Tent — a covered activity space of approximately 60 sq.m., with an insulated floor and open views from nearly every direction.
Two adjacent restrooms are located beside it.
This is the primary space for group work and workshops, in addition to the main house.
Accommodation units:
On a separate level, two guest units accommodate 2–4 adults who wish to experience the spirit of the place.
Guests may use the pool and join activities by prior arrangement and for an additional fee.
This is a unique form of hosting as part of the overall experience — not standard tourist accommodation.
For more details, please visit the “Haven” page.
The Orchard:
A paved path leads to an open plot under the sky, with fruit trees, a large organic vegetable garden, walking paths, and quiet corners for privacy and reflection.
Movement between the different levels is convenient and partially accessible.
