One of the lasting benefits of a Skyros holiday is the friendships - and often the new social circles - that are formed. Participants say that when they meet anyone anywhere who has been to Skyros, they feel an immediate connection.
Session reunions, organised by participants back in the UK after their holiday together, are an integral part of life after Skyros and have a long-standing tradition. They range from dinner in a restaurant to long weekends in the countryside. 40-50 participants attending are not uncommon. Many people also continue with their Œkos group when they get back home by way of bridging the gap between their holiday and their everyday life.
There is also the opportunity to make your reunion arrangements a lot simpler and hold them within a ready-made Skyros-style atmosphere. The Grange on the Isle of Wight is a residential centre specialising in short breaks, and being an offshoot of Skyros has certain weekends throughout the year tailored towards reunions from all our centres. Its weekend courses are run by Skyros facilitators and they are offered to ex-Skyros participants at a 20% discount.
