A space created for meeting, breathing, and slowing down from the usual pace of life.
Here, nature, silence, and people come together to create a place of presence and connection.

Location
SHEVET is located at the upper edge of a small village in northwest Crete, on a hillside overlooking the sea, the mountains, and the surrounding green landscape.
It is a quiet and welcoming place — close enough to everyday life, yet far enough to allow space for rest, reflection, and genuine meeting.

The Main House
At the heart of SHEVET stands the main house — a spacious living room with high ceilings, a large welcoming kitchen, and a wide terrace opening toward the landscape.
Some of the activities take place here, along with shared meals, informal gatherings, and conversations that often continue into the evening.

The Pool Area
Next to the house is the pool area, surrounded by a shaded pergola and relaxed seating areas.
The pool is purified with salt rather than chlorine and offers a refreshing place to rest, cool down, and connect between activities.

The White Tent
On another level of the property stands the White Tent — a bright covered space of about 60 square meters overlooking the open landscape.
This is where many of the workshops, practices, and group gatherings take place.
At times, activities also unfold outdoors, depending on the nature of the gathering and the season.

Gardens and Orchard
Around the buildings you will find quiet corners in nature, garden areas, and a small orchard with fruit trees.Paths between the different levels allow for easy and peaceful movement throughout the space, creating a sense of openness while maintaining an intimate atmosphere.

Accommodation
A pleasant accommodation complex with six bedrooms is located just a one-minute walk from SHEVET.
In addition, two comfortable guest units are available within SHEVET itself.

Life and Activities at SHEVET
SHEVET is not a resort and not a conference center.
It is a living space created to support genuine human meeting — with oneself and with others.
Most of the activities at SHEVET are guided by Ada and Achy, and from time to time collaborations take place with workshop and retreat facilitators whose work resonates with the spirit of the place.
Facilitators who feel a connection to the space are welcome to reach out to explore the possibility of hosting a gathering here, depending on the kind of the content and the available dates.
