Awakening the Healer Within – A Yoga & Healing Retreat
Join Simone and Dr. Nicholas Demetry, M.D., for a transformative day of healing through yoga, breath work, meditation, and sound therapy. The retreat will feature Dr. Demetry’s enlightening talk titled “Awakening the Healer Within,” followed by guided meditation and healing exercises designed to restore balance and connect participants to their innate healing abilities.
Dr. Nicholas Demetry is a renowned holistic psychiatrist, healer, and spiritual teacher with over 30 years of experience in integrating spirituality and mental health. After earning his Medical Degree from Emory University, he furthered his studies in transcultural psychiatry at the University of Hawaii and worked extensively in Papua New Guinea, where he observed the intersection of traditional shamanic healing practices and Western medicine. His spiritual journey led him to study under Cypriot mystic Dr. Stylianos Atteshlis (Daskalos), deepening his understanding of the connection between spirituality and healing.
Dr. Demetry currently operates a private practice in Atlanta and serves as the director of the Etherikos Center, where he offers classes and programs worldwide. His unique blend of psychiatric knowledge and spiritual wisdom provides profound insights into personal well-being and mental health.
