Experiences General Questions

  • Ef Zin (Εὖ ζῆν) is an ancient Greek philosophy meaning “to live well.” We curate wellness experiences that merge timeless traditions with modern tools to help you reconnect with your body, mind, and lifestyle. Through events, retreats, and programs, Ef Zin invites you to move, nourish, and thrive—intentionally.

Each experience is grounded in education and built around our three pillars: Move, Nourish, and Thrive. Every experience is unique, depending on the thematic area and destination, but you can expect a thoughtful balance of mindful movement, nourishing meals, and wellness practices ranging from workshops, classes, wellness rituals, other group experiences, and personal 1-1 sessions.

  • Ef Zin experiences are deeply intentional. They are not only immersive, but also informative and practical—giving you tools, knowledge, and inspiration to integrate into everyday life. Each offering blends ancient philosophies with science-backed practices, and is crafted with a strong emphasis on design, quality, and personalization.
