Sports Camps

Having embraced the peaceful warrior’s mentality, we managed to fight our battles in the field as much as in society, always in accordance with our value system. All the stepping-stones of our accomplishments are infused with the qualities of combat sports that shaped us growing up: what better way to honour that than hosting sports camps in our HQ, and expanding it in more practices of discipling and exploring the body & mind on the path of achieving full-potential?

We are all fighters. We all have battled our way in and out of different things in life. It is easy to get confused without structure and guidance, but it is our very own instincts inside the philosophy of the peaceful warrior that keeps the light on on the confusing path.

We’ve been attacked on every step of our initiative, through bureaucracy, hierarchy, status-quo, doubt, stereotypes, and each time we let this inner warrior take the reins and help us move forward. The loot of all inward and outward battles is our HQ: a large land that holds the history of 4 generations, together with the radical vocation & character of the Cretan Gunners. The YOD Village.

The very reason we’ve made it so far are the qualities we embraced through combat sports. Combativeness helped us react and always come back on our feet, discipline kept us aligned and focused to what mattered, consistency brought results, self-doubt and observation unlocked our maturity, objectivity and realism, and self awareness is to this day our key in decision making. This combo of experience, together with the amenities & utilities of our HQ, support the high-end, professional hosting of any combat sports camp in the YOD Village.

Moreover, the beauty of the mansion’s architecture, its construction mentality, the serenity of the wider environment and the vibe of our team, make YOD a platform able to host diverse retreats; from yoga, meditation and healing practices to mediterranean culture & food, and from acting trainings to handcrafts or book club collectives. Additionally, the space can comfortably host company team-bonding retreats, digital nomads’ & remote workers’ programs, as it promotes mind clarity through all surrounding stimuli, and work enablement due to our amenities. All of which, add to the wider picture of one’s holistic journey.

• Any type of retreat is welcome to be hosted in our space, as long as we share the same values agenda
• Our amenities and shared spaces (hyperlink) can be remodelled upon request to accommodate the camp’s or retreat’s needs
