SYS Philosophy
We disconnect ourselves from daily routine, leaving behind worries and stress.
During our Sailing Escapes, we work on the factors that contribute to strengthen our resilience.
We open our soul and spirit to receive doses of the magic
that is generously offered by the Greek sun, sea and enchanting islands.
Resilience gives us the strength to tackle head-on the challenges of life, overcome adversity, and master our lives.

We aim to
Reframe Οur Thoughts
By reframing their thoughts, resilient people look at challenging situations in a realistic way, shifting out of a stuck and negative mindset. They do not center on blame or on what cannot be changed, but focus on positive visions.
​
Adopt Healthy Habits
Adopting Healthy Habits including getting enough NREM sleep, eating natural and healthy food, exercising and meditating. Spending time with loved ones who support and inspire us, playing games, experiencing new adventures. Adopting all these habits reduce our stress level, which in turn, boosts our resilience.
Focus Οn Taking Care Οf Οur Body
Taking care of our body, connecting our body - our temple - with our Heart, Mind and Soul helps to adopt an effortless ability to overcome frustration and stress in our daily life.
​
Focus Οn What We Can Control
Focusing on what we can control, instead of wishing there was a way to go back in time and change things.
Even when the situation seems dire, we can take realistic steps to help improve the situation. No matter how small these steps may be, they improve our sense of control and resilience.

Maintain Α Positive Attitude
Maintaining a positive attitude is the one internal shift that can make everything in life feel easier.
A sincere internal positive attitude can help us get along better with ourselves and others, leading to greater social support, less conflict and a peaceful sense of wellbeing, regardless of what happens in our external environment.
​
Support Each Other
Supporting each other, sharing thoughts and challenges with others can help us gain a broader perspective, deeper insights and generate new ideas that might help better manage challenges in life.
The idea of organising an alternative sailing trip derived from my love for the Sea, Sailing, Human Connection, Arts and my sweet country. My 30 years of experience as an artist and educator, showed that a person best develops their skills, passions and unique spirit when feeling, breathing and living in nature.
My invitation concerns people who want to live a unique experience in charming Greek places and amazing locations, next to remarkable instructors from the global community.
Welcome to our World!
