Enjoy a 7-day, 6 night retreat in the beautiful mountains and raw nature of Slovenia with daily yoga, hikes, walks, sauna & pool time, optional cycling, healthy food, solo and social time leaving you filled up and rejuvenated.
The intention of this retreat is to deeply nourish, rejuvenate, and re-balance your Body, Mind, and Heart. You will also deepen or build up your yoga and mindfulness practice as a natural result of this week long retreat.
You can expect an inclusive, relaxed, and light-hearted atmosphere. Supported by the warmth and softness of the surrounding Slovenian nature, Andrea will create a safe and sacred space so you can enjoy the retreat to its fullest.
Slovenia, yet to-be-discovered country in the heart of Europe, offers a luscious, green and still raw nature, heart-warmth people, and rich wisdom and traditions. This unique retreat venue is an organic, biodynamic farm where simplicity meets comfort.
Within a uniquely beautiful setting, niched amongst green mountains, you will enjoy the open mountain view from all buildings and rooms, an outside pool, a sauna, numerous indoor and outdoor spaces to chill out, as well as many hiking trails for your nature explorations, solo or with other retreat friends.
Treat yourself with an unforgettable retreat, and reconnect to Source and yourself. All levels of practice, ages, nationalities, gender identities are warmly welcome.
” Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.” -Dalai Lama
