Meet the Huglesmugle 🌱

From a patch of dry ground to a living winter garden: this is how we built our hugelkultur bed at Agape, step by step.

We dug a trench half a metre deep, lined it with cardboard, packed it with logs, branches, straw, and cuttings, then buried it all under soil and compost. Now it’s planted for the Cretan winter.

Why we made it:
🪵 Buried wood soaks up the autumn rain and releases it slowly
🌿 It feeds the soil as it breaks down and improves over time.
💧 It’s designed to need less watering, with drip lines to help
♻️ Our own prunings become the foundation of the bed

Tin our Huglesmugle, we planted: winter greens, onions, garlic, lettuce, and herbs and flowers, with drip lines to save water.

Hidden gems of Crete
Step back to 1360.

Climb the alleys of Ano Viannos and you'll find a church where the walls still hold medieval saints, snakes and sinners.

Just a short drive away, Agape Crete offers retreats among the ancient olive trees, a modern kind of sanctuary in the same hills where Agia Pelagia has drawn people to quiet reflection since Columbus.

Authentic Cretan food during the Family Constellation retreat. Cooked by the local mamas, directly from the village kitchens. Freshly made giant beans, Greek salad, seasonal vegetables, and octopus pasta. Vegetarian options are always on the table. Simple, grounding meals to support the work

The circle has closed, but the resonance remains.

This past weekend at Agape Crete, 15 brave souls gathered in Amiras to look at what lay beneath the surface.

Through heavy rain, warm tea, shared meals, and deep systemic work, we made space for what needed to be seen, acknowledged, and returned.

Swipe through to read a few reflections from those who walked into the circle with us, along with moments captured across our grounds, tables, and mountains.

🗣️ In the words of our participants:

💬 "A space so held and safe that the heaviest burdens felt lighter the moment we sat down."
💬 "I came with an unspoken question and left with a clarity I haven't felt in years."

To everyone who trusted us with their story, their presence, and their family lineage:
Thank you.

They had warned us about it....
but we didn't expect this much.....

46 hours before our retreat WE HAD TO PIVOT

Nature gave us a sudden plot twist, forcing us to shift our outdoor platform circle indoors.

But at AGAPE we don't fight circumstances—we trust, surrender to what is, gather together, shift and pivot!

We're transforming our indoor sanctuary right now. Stay tuned for Part 2 to see the new circle and safe space for the deep transformative work to take place 🫶🌿

🎟️ 2 days to go! Final spots still open. Link in bio!

In 72 hours, a small group will gather in Agape Crete to break patterns that started generations ago. Will you be in the circle?

Our guests arrive with different background stories, different challenges, and different questions.

Some are carrying unexplained patterns in their relationships; others are holding unacknowledged grief or roles they never consciously chose to play.

In Systemic Constellations, we don't fix people—we simply make the invisible visible.

We look at the wider family system to restore order, acknowledge what was forgotten, and return what isn't yours to carry.

You don't need to have a perfectly formed question.

Curiosity is enough.
